Abstract: 

The study examines how visual-reaction and coordination-enhancement instruction affects the reaction time and hand-eye coordination between male and female professional badminton players between the ages of 17–25. To consider the effectiveness of training on the basis of gender, the study involves 60 national-level respondents in an experimental approach to training effectiveness. The findings show that a majority of the individuals involved in the game believe that they have shown considerable progress in their performance, especially in acceleration and coordination with regular and sport-related drills. Players were open to introducing new ways, although traditional techniques are being used most of the time. The results are consistent with the current body of knowledge and confirm the concept of structured training concerning athletic development and reflecting a gradually increasing trend of evidence-based and technologically enriched performance approaches to playing badminton.
