Objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of the use of a footwork excellence training machine applicable in the badminton training system and improve technical fitness rates in junior badminton players.
Methods and structure of the study. The educational experiment was conducted in two groups of junior badminton players, 20 persons each: Control Group (without the use of the training machine) and Experimental Group (with the use of the training machine).
Results and conclusions. The experiment resulted in a higher increase of the technical fitness rates in the Experimental Group as opposed to the Control Group, which confirms the benefits of the footwork excellence training machine applicable in the modern badminton training system.
The findings prove that the use of the training machine during the badminton practices with the 7-10 year-old badminton players contributes to the significant improvement of their technical fitness level. It was found that the court control skills in the Experimental Group improved in relative terms: in terms of the longitudinal movements - by 77.5% on average, in terms of the transverse movements - by 33.3%, and in terms of the complex movements - by 45.7% compared to the Control Group. This study demonstrates the benefits of the developed footwork excellence training machine or the improvement of junior badminton players’ technical skills in the training process, which, in turn, improves their potential competitive prospects.

Keywords: junior badminton players, footwork, training machine, technical training, testing.
