Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare the physical and physiological properties of national sportsmen of some countries-Turkey, Austria, Belgium and Hungary- that participated in the European Badminton Team Championship. 16 male subjects consisting of four sportsmen between the ages 14-16 from each of the four countries participated in this study voluntarily. Within the scope of this study, some physical and physiological parameters’ (heights, body weights, Forced Vital Capacities (FVC), Forced Expiration Volumes (FEV), systolic and diastolic blood pressures, resting pulses, vertical take-offs, body fat percentages, flexibilities, leg and claw force) measurements were made. It was found that the average ages of the male averages was 67.68 ± 5.83 kg and their height averages was 177.00 ± 7.08 cm. Apart from these; it was found that the average ageof starting Badminton was 6,9 years and they practiced 5,5 days per week, 2 times per day and 3 hours each day on the average. According to results of this study statistically significant difference was observed (p<0.05) in the frequency of weekly training between Austria and Hungary and between Austria and Belgium teams, in the badminton ages between Austria and Hungary team, ,in resting diastolic blood pressure between Hungary and Turkey and in leg strength between Belgium and Hungary. Statisticaly significant difference was not observed in other measurements (p<0.05). As a result, it was determined that the male national sportsmen that participated in the European Badminton Team Championship had similar physical and physiological properties in general, along with some differences that we have specified here in above
