Aim of the study. To establish the factorial structure of anaerobic capacity in young badminton players as functional traits of their organisms, expressing their ability to activate energy reserves (anaerobic, both lactacid and alactacid). Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 96 badminton players (in four age groups). Factorial analysis of twelve variables (i.e. the results of motor ability tests) was used to calculate the results. A variant of Hotelling`s principal components, modified by Tucker was used, as well as Varimax rotation, proposed by Kaiser. In order to better recognize the structure of relations introduced into the analysis of variables, the results of Word`s taxonomic method were used in the description of the studied phenomena. Results and conclusions. The conducted analysis allowed a reduction of variables to three independent factors that explain over 68 percent of shared (total) variance. It would seem that they are especially helpful in training young badminton players. The factors could be called maximal anaerobic power of the upper limbs, maximal anaerobic power of the lower limbs and universal anaerobic power.
