requirements
of badminton,
incorporating
movements
like lateral
shuffles and
rapid turns.

Test Reliability:

● Implement
standardized
agility test
protocols with
consistent
course
layouts.
● Use reliable
timing
systems to
 measure
completion
time
accurately.
● Conduct the
test on a
stable and
even surface
to minimize
variations.

4.) Leg Strength

Leg Strength and Vertical jump or and Power -
Power standing long Essential for powerful
jump. strokes, jumps, and
overall court
movement.

Test Validity:

● Evaluate an
athlete's
lower body
strength and
power
through tests
like vertical
jumps or
standing long
jumps.
● Ensure the
test aligns
with the
demands of
badminton,
emphasizing
explosive
lower body
movements.

Test Reliability:

● Utilize
standardized
testing
equipment
and protocols
for leg
strength and
power
assessment.
● Ensure proper
 warm-up to
activate and
prepare lower
body
muscles.

Speed Sprints 5.) Speed - Important

for covering the court
quickly and reacting
to opponents'
movements.

Test Validity:

● Assess an
athlete's
maximum
running speed
through tests
like the
40-yard sprint
or shuttle
sprints.
● Ensure the
test reflects
the short
bursts of
speed
required in
badminton.

Test Reliability:

● Standardize
testing
protocols for
speed
assessments,
including
consistent
starting
positions and
distances.
● Use reliable
timing
systems to
measure the
time taken to
cover
specified
 distances.

Flexibility Sit-and-reach or 6.) Flexibility -

shoulder flexibility Important for
test reaching and
executing shots with
a full range of motion.

Test Validity:

● Assess an
athlete's
flexibility
through tests
like the
sit-and-reach
or shoulder
flexibility test.
● Ensure the
test aligns
with the
specific
flexibility
requirements
of badminton
movements.

Test Reliability:

● Standardize
testing
protocols for
flexibility
assessments,
including
consistent
measurement
techniques.
● Use reliable
tools, such as
flexibility
measurement
devices, for
accurate
results.

Muscular Push-up or plank 7.)Muscular

Endurance - Crucial
 Endurance test for maintaining
performance during
prolonged rallies and
matches.

Test Validity:

● Assess an
athlete's
ability to
sustain
muscular
contractions
over an
extended
period.
● Ensure the
test reflects

endurance
required for
repetitive
strokes and
movements in
badminton.

Test Reliability:

● Use
standardised
muscular
endurance
tests (e.g.,
push-up or
plank test)
with
consistent
protocols.
