However, due to its connotation unclearness and quantitative evaluation difficulty, both competition rhythm research and application are rare, no matter in terms of theory, or in practice. On the basis of summarizing predecessors’ research, the authors de-fined the connotation of badminton competition rhythm, put forward the method of using rhythm coefficient to carry out quantitative evaluation: rally rhythm coefficient=total rally shots/rally duration, and through actual application cases, concluded that using rhythm coefficient to carry out technical analysis is more conducive to finding out game winning or losing causes as well as competition rhythm control ability diagnosis and improvement in training.
