Abstract

Studies of physiological characteristics and motor skills are increasing in sports, being very important to enhance the performance. This study aimed at assessing the anthropometric profile and motor performance of Brazilian junior badminton team in two consecutive convocations, in 2007 and 2008. The sample included 42 athletes (19 female athletes, mean age 17,0 ± 2,6 years and 23 male athletes, mean age 19,1 ± 3,7 years). The following variables were assessed: height, body weight, skinfold thicknesses, medicine ball throw, vertical jumps, abdominal strength/resistance (30 seconds), speed (20 meters), agility (mastrascusa) and aerobic power (shuttle run 20 meters). Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) and Shapiro-wilk test for normality, p< 0,05, SPSS 18.0. The results of this study describe anthropometric and motor test characteristics of young athletes playing in the Brazilian junior badminton team in 2007 and 2008. Based on the values obtained in the tests, it is suggested that the data of anthropometricand motor can be used as references for other studies, and also for coaches and other sports professionals, athletes with badminton same level and age.
