Abstract
The study aimed on physiological profile of male and female badmionton players had confirmed that elite badminton is associated with relatively low body fat and lean body build, both in male and female players. Maximum treadmill exercise test in badminton players may provide basic physical condition data necessary to elite performance (e.g.
VO2max above 60 and 52 ml.kg 1.min-1, in male and female player, respectively). However, the results of laboratory treadmill testing seem to be a poor predictor as regards the ability relative to internationally and/or nationally badminton game-play performance.
