LET’S MOVE AHEAD

Badminton, an Olympic sport, is amongst the most popular racket sports –

mainly because it can be played by basically anyone who can swing a racket! a game for all ages,
badminton is not only fun, but it also brings along a host of physical and psychological benefits that
should make it a top consideration for anyone who wants to develop their fitness or discover a new
activity.
The sport of badminton requires specific physical and physiology attributes -
such as great court speed and agility, with a good background of endurance. Apart from skill (which is a
highly important ability), the relative importance of the physiological parameters such as strength, speed,
agility and endurance differ in their contributions to making a champion badminton player. It is not just
physical attributes that are important, the psychological parameters of mental toughness and dedication is
also needed in high doses.
In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort brought the Indian game of Poona to England,
and began to play it on his country estate in Badminton, Gloucestershire. Badminton is a game for singles
and doubles. Players win points by hitting conical shuttlecock over a high net so that it lands on the other
side of the court before the opposition can return it. The shuttlecock’s lightness and aerodynamic shape
means that badminton can be a game of great delicacy, or sudden burst of power featuring spectacular
smashes.

Fitness components for Badminton

Playing badminton can have a number of positive health and fitness benefits on your body. Here are some
of its key exercise advantages:
1. Improves aerobic fitness, with more oxygen circulated around the body to increase muscular
endurance.
2. Burns off calories with energy being supplied to the muscles and not forming fat.
3. Boosting flexibility and sprint speed, due to the fast-paced nature of badminton.
4. Improves hand-eye co-ordination with concentration required for serving.
5. Develops the strength and power of muscles, notably leg and arm muscles.
6. Furthers concentration and mental strength, with matches often lasting for many hours.
7. Boosts a player's cardiovascular fitness, allowing more oxygen to be pumped around the body
and help provide energy to muscles.

Top Reasons Why Badminton is Good for You:

1. Physical fitness and weight loss.
Badminton, whilst looking elegant and fluid, is a deceptively exhausting sport which requires you to
engage all your major muscle groups. Between running, jumping, lunging and shuttle-hitting (ballistic
moves that require short bursts of power), an hour of badminton will have you burning up to 500
calories. This means, during a game, you get a HIIT style workout that pushes you to the limits,
meaning your metabolism improves and leaves you burning calories for hours after you have left the
court.
2. Tone up.
Badminton is a fantastic full-body workout. The rapid movements, jumps, smashes and crunches
while playing badminton will help build up your muscles to make them leaner, stronger and fitter in
no time. It tones the legs, calves, glutes and quads, as well as the core, back and arms. Over time,
your balance will improve as the core muscles engage quicker and easier, and the extension of the
body and elevation of the arms will enhance flexibility. Together this means better posture, improved
stability and superior flexibility – all critical components for a healthy lifestyle.
3. Wise up
Badminton is a game that requires a wit for strategizing and making splitsecond decisions – so on top
of all the physical benefits, it helps the way you think.
4. Improve reflexes, productivity, and intelligence.
You need to be physically swift to reach the shuttle and mentally agile to work out where to move to
return it, and how to hit it to win. Attempting to cover all parts of the court, with not a lot of reaction

time, and accurately return the shuttle is a lot to think about in one go. The combined agility of mind
and body will advance your ability to process thoughts and accurately develop a plan of action, both
on and off the court.
5. Relieve stress and anxiety.
The substantial psychological and physical benefits of playing badminton will also help you boost
your mood, reduce stress, and reduce anxiety. Your brain will release endorphins, the brain’s feel-
good neurotransmitters, that enhance your sense of well-being.
