Abstract

Badminton is an extremely demanding sport and has emerged significantly in India presently. At an elite level, players are often required to perform at their limits of speed, agility, flexibility, endurance and strength. While many tests are used for measuring aforesaid parameters, field tests are found to be practically more feasible for sports population. Badminton is a sport which requires upper limb strength and flexibility supplemented by agility, speed and flexibility of lower limb along with endurance of the body. Since Indian athlete’s normative data is comparatively less available therefore more researches have been focusing on sports data collection. Methodology: 30 badminton players of Indian origin were randomly selected for examination of their upper extremity and lower extremity strength and flexibility. Subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Four tests were performed by all the selected subjects, sit and reach test, static shoulder flexibility test, standing long jump test, and push up test. Result: Average shoulder flexibility score obtained was 11.51'', standing long jump test score was 1.68m, push up test score was 38.86 while sit and reach test score was 26.08cm for male subjects and for females it was 13.22 '', 1.56m, 36.66, and 34.75cm respectively. Conclusion: Hencemale subjects were found with good flexibility and above average strength for upper extremity and under average flexibility and poor muscle strength for lower extremity and whereas, female subjects had excellent flexibility and excellent muscle strength for upper extremity and above average flexibility and below average muscle strength for lower extremity.
