Effects of badminton training on some physical parameters in badminton players aged 10 to 12 years

Abstract

This study aimed to determine some physical parameters of badminton players in the ages of 10-12. Fifteen badminton players in 10-12 years old volunteered to participate. The players continued their badminton training for 8 weeks. After and before the 8 week training, their 15 m speed, vertical jump, standing broad jump, hand grip strength and flexibility tests were conducted. To analyses the data, paired t-test was used to compare the pre- and post-test tests. After the badminton training of the 8 weeks, subjects’ vertical jump, the hand grip strenght (right hand) and flexibility performances increased significantly (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in standing broad jump, 15 m speed and lefht hand-grip strength between pre- and post-test (p>0.05). As a result, it can be said that the badminton training of an 8-week might improve vertical jump, flexibility and hand grip strength in 10-12 years old badminton players. Howerever, the training may not have any effect on their 15 m speed and standing broad jump performance.
