Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 體育學系在職進修碩士班 === 96 === Apart from the demands of high levels of technical skill and mental acuity, physical capacity that included explosive strength, velocity, agility and endurance were essential requirements for badminton. However, there was a scarcity of descriptive data on specific fitness of badminton athletes. The purposes of this study were to compare the difference of general fitness and sport fitness between elite athletes and general athletes on pre-competition season. Twenty female badminton players who underwent training for 2007 world junior championship participated in this study. The test was executed in real badminton court at 5 days before the championship. Several science equipments were used to measure the explosive strength of standing jump and vertical jump, the velocity of shuttle running, the total time of 12 minutes running, the velocity of single circle center moving direction and the total time of 5 circle center moving direction. The difference in the values of general and specific fitness between two groups was tested for significance by t test. The criterion level for significance was set at p≧.05. The results indicated that elite athletes have significantly better explosive strength on standing jump than general athletes (p<.05). Elite athletes’ velocity of single circle center moving direction was also significantly faster than general athletes (p<.05). According to the results of this study, enhancing badminton athletes’ fitness is recommended for getting better performance on competition. Otherwise, quantity analysis of athletes’ fitness on the regular time is vital skill during all training seasons. Hence, quantity analysis of different level athletes and sex is a greater worth study in the future
