Abstract: Many scientific investigations have increased in recent years due to the popularity of the Badminton game in the World. However, there is a lack of Descriptive data on the motor fitness of Manipur male Badminton players. Therefore the study aims to measure and describe the selected variables of motor fitness of male Badminton players. The sample included 21 male national badminton players of Manipur Badminton Association of 18-23 years (mean age 19.6±2.26 years). The selected variables were assessed: body weight; height; abdominal strength(sit-up), power(vertical jump), and speed(30m Dash). Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) were used for data analysis using IBM SPSS 20. The mean height, body weight, and selected motor fitness variables are somewhat lower than other country badminton players. The result of the study can help coaches in identifying and choosing new badminton players, and also help to design the training program to enhance badminton performance.
