Players participated in two measurements, with 15 months in between measurements, where players were tested in height, weight, body mass index, arm span, shoulder flexion, grip strength, countermovement jump, medicine ball throw, 505 agility test, badminton specific agility test and the YoYo intermittent recovery test level 1. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all experimental variables, and the results presented as mean values with standard deviation.
