This study aimed to identify the features of badminton doubles games and obtain fundamental information regarding the games for the badminton coach. Six doubles matches from the college league match were chosen for the study. A time analysis of these matches was performed and the resulting data were compared with those from the matches played by first class players. The mean work time (5.0±0.9 s) was found to be significantly shorter than that of the first class players (p  0.05). The mean rest duration was 11.7±0.9 s; there was no significant difference between the two categories in this respect. The average number of strokes per inning and the ratio of work period to rest period were both significantly lower in the college-level players (p  0.05). From the relationship between the average number of strokes and the ratio of work period to rest period, it became clear that the values of second class players' matches were marked more to the left and toward the lower side. The results obtained from these data indicate the demanding nature of badminton. In conclusion, I would like to note that it is necessary for the college level badminton players to obtain a high level of physical fitness, along with the ability to recover after work periods and be skilled in keeping rallies. Moreover, this information can assist badminton coaches in developing training programs that are more specific in nature than the present ones.
