Abstract :The purpose of this study is to research the effects of 12-week footwork badminton trainings on strength and agility parameters of 8-10 age groups of children. Subjects of the research group have been divided into 3 groups as footwork badminton training group (BF, n=17 boys-18 girls), classical badminton training group (BC, n=19 boys-15 girls) and control group (CG, n=15 boys-17 girls), and it has been carried out on 101 subjects. BF and BC groups were trained 4 days a week for 16 weeks and as preparation and basic trainings period. After 4 weeks of preparation works, preliminary tests of all groups were carried out. After the preliminary tests, subjects of BC training group were applied classical badminton training program 4 days a week for 12 weeks, subjects of BF training group were applied 2 days classical badminton training and 2 days shadow badminton trainings in a week as during 12 weeks and 4-day training in a week. After 8 weeks, mid-term tests and after 12 weeks final tests were applied during basic training period. SPSS 18.0 statistical package program was used to evaluate the data. ANOVA (ReAnova) was used to determine whether there was a significant difference between pre-, middle- and post-test measurements. Significance level was admitted as (p<0.05). At the end of the study, statistically significant differences were found in the parameters of the subjects of BF group in terms of vertical jump, anaerobic power, back strength, 30 sec sit-up, Illinois agility, side to side agility, 4-corner agility. As a result, it can be said that badminton footwork training has positive effects on strength and agility performance parameters in children aged 8-10 years.Keywords : Agility, Badminton, Footwork, Strength
