Abstract

Introduction: Badminton is a fast-paced racket sport characterized by high-intensity intermittent actions interspersed with rest intervals. The role of anthropometry is critical in assessing athletes since the physique, body composition, physical growth, and one’s motor development are fundamental for optimal performance. Methods: 32 badminton players' anthropometry data was collected using ISAK protocol. Fat and fat free mass percentages were calculated using existing formulas. Results: Significant differences were observed across gender in body surface area, body density, fat mass, and fat free mass values. Body surface area, body density, and fat free mass and percentages are higher in male players and fat percentage and fat mass values are higher in female players. Conclusion: The average height of Indian players is less compared to other international players, whereas the fat percentage of both male and female players is relatively higher.
