ABSTRACT The underlying principle of this study was to discover the badminton player’s fitness output in response to kettlebell training. To accomplish this purpose of the study thirty college level women badminton players from PSNA College of Engineering and Technology, Dindigul district, Tamilnadu, India were randomly selected as subjects. Their age ranged in between 18 and 23 years. The subjects were separated into two groups namely kettlebell group and control group. The kettlebell group was subjected to kettlebell training (for weekly three days monday, wednesday, friday) at evening session for eight weeks. Leg strength and muscular strength was selected as dependent variable. After the compilation of proper data, it was statistically analyzed by using paired‘t’ test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The result of the present study showed that the kettlebell training has significant enhancement on leg strength and muscular strength of badminton players. KEYWORDS: Kettlebell Training, Physical Fitness Components, Badminton Players. 1.

It's well- known that compound, whole body movements typical of kettlebell exercises are superior to machines that isolate muscles for improving muscle tone, body composition, and strength. Further, kettlebells strengthen the tendons and ligaments, making the joints tougher and less-susceptible to injury. Strengthens every muscle from head-to-toe. Kettlebell training consists of whole-body movement exercises. It's well-known that compound, whole body movements typical of kettlebell exercises are superior to machines that isolate muscles for improving muscle tone, body composition, and strength. kettlebell training should be implemented in the condition program of all sports, not just strength sports.
