The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between badminton performance and basic badminton skills. Furthermore, prediction equations based on the selected factors were developed. Thirty -two male badminton players at the Feng-Chia University participated in this study. Each subject was given an 11-items physical fitness test, a badminton basic test, and a badminton performance test. The multiple regression and stepwise regression were utilized for data analysis. Within the scope of this study, the following conclusions were found:1.Concerning badminton basic skills:(一)The multiple correlation coefficient was significant (R=0.8376, p<.01), explaining 70.16% of the variance in criterion.(二)The stepwise regression analysis showed that clear, smash, low wrist volley, and diagonal run were the four representative tests selected from badminton basic skills. The multiple correlation coefficient was significant (R=0.8098, p<.01), explaining 65.67% of the variance in criterion. The standardized regression equation is as follows:Z=0.2798X5+0.2875X7+0.2460X8-0.4824X11The raw regression equation was as follows:Z=91.2472+0.3719X5+0.4305X7-0.3710X8-0.7781X112.Comparison of badminton skills between single- and double-match playersThe results showed that the scores of double-match players were significantly higher than those of single-match players (p<.05) in carrying badminton in turning back run (31±2.13 vs. 29.5± 1.59 sec), serving the ball in short distance (44.5± 2.68 vs. 3.14±38.6 score), hitting the stable-flying ball (33.8± 2.41 vs. 26.5±1.86 score), beating low-handed to wall (40.9±1.82 vs. 37.8± 2.14 score) and backhand-stroke beating ball high and long (40.6±1.36 vs. 39.6±1.15 score). The single-match players only showed the higher score than their double-match players in serving the ball in long distance (49.5±3.76 vs. 47.9±3.86 score).
