This study examined the effect of physical variables in relation to skill performance of ball badminton players of Annamalai University, Chidambaram, India. Forty-one ball badminton players were randomly selected. Physical variables such as agility, explosive power, flexibility, grip strength and skill performance variable back row overhead smash were considered. The tests selected for the physical fitness variables for hand explosive power was explosive power push up jump; agility, 6×10 m shuttle run; flexibility, bend and reach test, grip strength, grip dynamometer and P. Raj Kumar and Kalidasan R. skill test battery in ball badminton was used to analyse the skill performance back row overhead smash the subjects were assessed in physical fitness variables in relation to back row overhead smash . Pearson product moment correlation was applied to find out the relation between physical variables and performance variable (Back row overhead smash). Mean, Standard deviation, correlation and multiple regression was with the level of significance at 0.05. Back row overhead smash was positively correlated with flexibility at (r=0.53) which shows a correlation of 53%, It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between flexibility and skill performance - ‘Back row overhead smash’ among the ball badminton players. Also, no other physical variable aspects have significant relationship with the skill performance- ‘Back row overhead smash.’
