Successive performance in badminton requires exclusive physical fitness for which sound anthropometry and adequate nutritional status are the prerequisites. Obesity indicators, like body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist to height ratio (WHtR), ∑skinfold thickness (∑SF), and % body fat (%BF) are indispensable for fitness assessment, thus evaluated in the present study in search of nutritional cause and impression on physical fitness. Total 100 male and 100 female sub-elite badminton players of 13-15 years age from Nagpur, Maharashtra were purposively sampled for assessment. Anthropometries and body composition were measured by non-elastic measuring tape and skinfold calliper, Bioelectric Impedance Analyser (BIA). Nutrient intake was assessed by ‘24 hour dietary recalls method’ for consecutive three days. Flexibility and agility were evaluated by sit and reach and Hexagonal obstacle tests. The result showed players’ BMI, WC, WHR, WHtR, ∑SF and %BF were well within the range/below threshold limit of Global health and sports recommendations, considered as “good” grade, thus advocated optimum obesity indicators. Macronutrients assessment revealed significant higher intake than RDA but lesser than players of other countries. Physical fitness test exposed mannish superiority in flexibility but feminine pre-eminence in agility performance. However, no players graded “excellent”. Correlation study of obesity indicators (except WHtR) vs macronutrients (-0.1069; p>0.05 to 0.6315; p<0.01) found more distinctive positive correlations in girls than boys, established augmented nutritional influence over girls. Although, for both the gender, obesity indicators have comprehensive negative impact on flexibility (-0.1848; p>0.05 to -0.7394; p<0.01) and agility (-0.3142; 0.05>p>0.01 to -0.7751; p<0.01), can influence their performance.
