The Effect of Beginner Badminton Trainings on Anaerobic Power and Muscle Strength

This aim of study was to determine the effects of 12 week badminton exercises both on anaerobic power and muscle strength. For this aim, 28 male volunteers, without health problems, whose average of age is 14.86±0.53 years and average of length is 169.43±5.57 cm and average of body mass is 62.14±12.98 kg, participated in the study. Then, related parameters were measured before and after the applications. As the gained data showed normal distribution, “Paired Samples t-test” was applied in statistical program SPSS 15. There was significant differences among the pre-test and post-test values of leg strength, back strength and right hand grip p<0.01. There was no significant differences among the pre-test and post-test values of anaerobic power, left hand grip and 30 seconds shuttle test(p>0.05). As a result, basic badminton training exercises are believed to be important to increase the value of certain strength parameters.
