The purpose of this study was to evaluate badminton players' explosive footwork practice. The test objects were 204 high school varsity players or above in Taiwan. Basic conditioning tests (3 events) and four-corner footwork tests (13 events) were combined with SAS statistics (software version 8.2,) and obtained the canonical analysis as follows: (1). 1st CA factor reached to p<.05, and the relative coefficient was 0.47 and ρ^20.22. (2). The variableη1was 38.94% from the basic conditioning test. The overlapped ratio was 8.86%. The relationship between variableη1and standing board jump, long jump, and triple jump were 0.71, 0.50, and 082. (3). The variableχ1 was 66.94% from the badminton four-corner footwork test. The overlapped ratio was 15.23%. The highest relationship betweenχ1 and the four-corner footwork test were three sets with the value of 0.71. The author suggests that three sets of four-corner footwork tests can be an index of training and a test for high school varsity players or above in Taiwan.
