We hypothesized that the repeated high-intensity intermittent efforts during the modified FT would lead to significant reductions in lower-limb muscle performance and elevate markers of peripheral fatigue, including blood lactate accumulation, perceived exertion, and heart rate elevation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In a single-arm repeated-measures design, 15 healthy male collegiate badminton players (age: 20.2 \u00b1 0.9 years; BMI: 20.9 \u00b1 1.5 kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ; playing experience: 1.3 \u00b1 0.4 years) performed five consecutive sets of the field test interspersed with 60 s of passive recovery. Each set involved on-court shuttle runs to eight LED targets and was terminated upon volitional exhaustion, achievement of heart rate \u226592% HRmax, or an RPE \u226518 (Borg 6\u201320 scale). Markers of peripheral fatigue\u2014vertical jump height (VJ), heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and fingertip blood lactate (BL)\u2014were assessed before the test and after each set.
