Abstract

The purpose of the study was to compare the physical fitness variable of Badminton and volleyball male Players. To fulfill the objective of the study, (15 Badminton male players and 15 volleyball male players) subjects were selected from south 24 parganas District of West Bengal State who was attending district level competition. The data were collected in different clubs. The age of the selected subjects ranged from 15 to 18 years. (Pull ups, sit ups, 4*10m shuttle run, 50m run, 600m run) were used to measures the selected physical fitness variables of the players. In order to analyze the data t-test was used to analyze the data and investigator observed the significant different between Badminton and Volleyball Players of muscular strength, muscular endurance, speed, cardio- vascular endurance and significant different of agility

Keywords
