This study was to examine the influence of resistance training on selected bio-motor fitness components among badminton players. 20 school-level badminton players were selected as subjects, ranging between 14 and 17 years of age. The study was conducted in a single experimental group design with the per- and post-test measures. The variables selected for analysis of the study are agility, balance, and flexibility. The subjects participated in an 8 weeks resistance band training course spread out across a week, with 5 days of attendance. The pre- and post-analyses were conducted using standardized fitness measures. The experimental group's mean, standard deviation, and paired sample t-test results were examined. The findings of the study brought out that there is a positive effect of resistance training on agility, balance, and flexibility among school-level badminton players. The outcome highlights the importance of structured resistance training in developing essential bio-motor skills in racket sports.
