Purpose:The purpose of this study to investigate the relationship between anthropometric characteristics and VO 2 Max in young male Taekwondo players. Methods:A descriptive ex post facto design was conducted in Bangladesh Kria Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP). Age range between 15-20 years among 13 male taekwondo players took part in this study. A valid cooper test and four skin fold method was used to measure the VO 2 Max and body fat percentage. The statistical analysis was done by Pearson correlation test. Results:The mean body fat percentage among the participants was 22.80±4.583 and the mean VO 2 Max was 2792.31±221.591. However, there was a negative correlation found between VO 2 Max and body fat percentage (r=-0.463) and showed as not significant (p=0.111>0.05). More than two third of the participants was reported very good VO 2 Max whereas a significant correlation was found between VO 2 Max with age (r=.563, p=.0453<0.05) and BMI (r=-.643, p= 0.018<0.05) Conclusion: It is concluded that VO 2 Max is influenced by age, body mass index, and body fat percentage in taekwondo players. Every taekwondo players as well as others athletes should have needed to increase the capacity of VO 2 Max for achieving a good performance.
