The six weeks fartlak training program for shuttler group was conducted in order to study the effect of fartlak training on vital capacity of shuttlers. The Pre Test and Post Test were proficient through dry spirometer to estimation the effects of fartlak training on vital capacity of shuttlers. The subject for this study were 15 college level male and female badminton players of T.M.U College, Moradabad between the age group of 18 to 24 years were chosen for the study. The six weeks training was specified to whole Group which consists of Fartlek Training Sessions on 5 days per week.
