| Article Name : | | | INVESTIGATION OF THE FACTORS PREDOMINENT TO BADMINTON PLAYING ABILITY | | Author Name : | | | A. SUBRAMANIAN | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ISRJ-55 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | The purpose of the present study was to analyze the anthropometric, bio-motor and skill performance factors associated with playing ability of college Badminton players. The data were collected from 100 male Badminton players from various colleges affiliated to Bharathidhasan University, Trichirapalli, Tamilnadu, India. The subjects who participated in inter collegiate level Men Badminton Tournament during the academic year 2008-2009 were randomly selected as subjects. The age of the selected subjects ranged from 18 to 25 years. The present study consists of one criterion variable, namely playing ability of Badminton players, and sixteen determinant variables. Collected data was subjected to statistical analysis by using Pearson product moment correlation to determine the relationship between dependent variable and independent variable. The computation of multiple regressions was also used. In multiple regressions, a criterion variable was predicted from a set of predictors. Forward selection method of multiple regressions was used in this study to find out the predictor variable that has the highest correlation with the criterion variables and it is entered into the equation first. The rest of the variables are entered into the equation depending on the contribution of each predictor. It was concluded that the regression equation for the prediction of Badminton playing ability includes flexibility, speed, arm length, serving and overhear clear shot. | | Keywords : | | - anthropometric
