Objective: To investigate whether aerobic capacity effect of specific speed, lactate metabolism, and simulated match physiological response on elite female badminton athletes. Methods: 11 Top-level female badminton athletes (age: 18.13 ± 1.55years; height: 165 ± 4.24cm; weight: 56.91 ±2.88kg; training experience: 7.82 ± 1.17 years) were recruited to performed in three tests: 1st: specific badminton test (Y test) for specific speed ability; 2nd: Cooper 12-miniute run test for aerobic endurance; 3rd: the simulated matches were using to compare difference physiological response and performance in two inning. Additionally, distance of Cooper test, badminton specific speed performance, lactate (La), heart rate (HR), match duration, and shots per rally were record, and calculate the rate of lactate production (Larate). These parameters were studied by using Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and paired-sample t test. Results: Mean of distance on endurance test were 2468.64 ± 123.39 m, maximal La values (Lamax) of match were 4.80 ± 1.63mmol/l. The negative correlation were found between Larate of specific speed (r = - 0.57) and Lamax of match (r = - 0.59) on aerobic capacity. A positive correlation was found on number of shots per rally (2 inning) and match duration (r = - 0.55), the physiological stress increase when the rise of match duration. Conclusions: Our finding indicated that the specific speed and endurance capacity may be of importance in explaining the recovery and physiological stress on simulate match and training. Furthermore, we suggested that the top-level badminton female players need to improve on specific speed and aerobic ability to decrease cumulative effect of training and competition.
