The purpose of this study was to collect the norm of bio-energetic

characteristics of male and female elite and advanced Badminton players in

Iran based on gender differences. This is a descriptive research of the kind of

normative survey. Statistical population of the research includes all elite and

advanced male and female Badminton players in Iran during 2010 including 128

elite and advanced players, 64 male (mean age 19.92 + 3.4 yr. height 176.53 +

6.13 cm, weight 70.46 + 6.77 kg and competitive experience 9.27 + 2.68 yr) and

64 females (mean age 17.00 + 2.4 yr, height 163.90 + 5.87 cm, weight 56.18 +

5.75 kg and competitive experience 6.27 + 1.55 yr). The statistical sample was

equal to the statistical population. Regarding the specific characteristics and

demands of Badminton, aerobic power, alactic anaerobic power and lactic

anaerobic power were measured. Also based on the distribution of the obtained

scores, frequency tables and percentage points of the players were drawn

based on gender differences in order to collect the related norms, using spss-15

software. Then according to the percentage norm and Likert scale, players'

performance was classified. One sample t test was applied to compare bioenergetic

characteristics of national and world elite Badminton players. The

results of this study indicated that the average aerobic power of Iranian male

and female elite and advanced badminton players, respectively 55/16 and 44/05

ml/kg.min are significantly lower than the values for world male and female elite

badminton players which are 63 and 50 ml/kg.min (p  0.01). also, the average

of sergeant vertical height of Iranian male and female elite and advanced

badminton players accounting for 63 and 48 centimeters are again significantly

lower than the reported values for world male and female elite badminton

players as 75 and 56 centimeters (p  0.01) but lactic anaerobic power of male

and female Iranian elite and advanced badminton players was in a goodsituation. The results of study highlight an urge to review and pay more

attention to designing professional practices in order to improve and develop

the aforementioned factors.
