Objective of the study was to experimental substantiation of the effectiveness of a special warm-up to improve the reactive agility of a player in tactical situations of badminton.
Methods and structure of the study. The tests involved 25 qualified male badminton players aged 20,3±1,6 years who performed a modified reactive agility test twice – without and after a specialized dynamic warm-up. The indicators of the players sensorimotor reaction time to a light signal were determined.
Results and conclusions. All subjects improved their reaction time after conducting a preliminary specialized warm-up. Mobilization stimuli of a set of special warm-up exercises, maximally oriented towards preparation for specific reactive-coordination work, ensure the speed of motor reaction and successful implementation of badminton players coordination abilities.

Keywords: badminton, positional readiness, reactive agility, dynamic warm-up, tactical situations of badminton.
