Abstract:

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of classical badminton training for 8 weeks on female badminton team athletes at some physical performance parameters. A total of 20 female badminton players participated in the study with an average age of 20,78 ± 0,71, a height average of 165,26 ± 6,11 and a weight average of 60,54 ± 7,23. Body weight, height, flexibility, back strength, leg strength, hand paw strength measurements were taken from female athletes and illionis agility test was applied. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test was used to determine whether the data obtained in the study had a normal distribution and that the data showed a normal distribution. Mean and standard deviation values of average age, height, body weight of the study group were given. Comparisons of pre-test and post-test measurements of other physical characteristics were made by t-test (Wilkoxon Ranks Test) of dependent groups from nonparametric tests. In the study performed, significance level was determined as p <0.05 for the difference between all pre- and post-tests and statistical procedures were performed in the SPSS 22.0 package program. As a result; classical badminton training practiced in practice may have positive effects on the physical performance parameters of female athletes and we think that the program frequency and duration can be accepted enough that there can be a program that can benefit female athletes by improving their physical fitness.
