The purpose of the present study was to investigate the motor fitness determinants of the performance potentials (PP) of the Bangladeshi adolescent male runner athletes. Primary data of size 222 were collected using multi-stage random sampling on PP and 6 motor fitness tests: Speed, Agility, Coordination, Balance, Power and Strength. Forward stepwise ridge regression was followed to find out the most important determinants of PP of the athletes. Satisfying all the test and validity conditions, it was found that coordination was the most important determinant among the considered motor fitness tests. Other determinants of PP were found to be balance, power, speed, and agility. The proposed equation can be followed for enhancing the PP of the adolescent male runner athletes by the relevant sport authorities.
