1. Badminton is a Total Body Workout

While you’re lunging, diving, running and getting your heart pumping, playing a game of badminton can help you
burn around 450 calories an hour. The varied movements provide a powerful cardio workout by engaging the
entire body, including the hamstrings, quads, calves and your core.

2. Socialising
For adults, we recommend taking 30 minutes of exercise, five times a week. Due to increased home and work life
responsibilities, some of us may be guilty of not doing as much physical activity as we should. Badminton is a fun
and flexible sport that can be enjoyed around your busy schedule. Our courts are available to hire during the day,
in the evenings and on weekends. You can even use your workout as an opportunity to socialise and catch-up
with friends and family.

3. Badminton Improves Your Mental Well being

Taking part in any form of regular physical activity helps to release our natural feel good happy hormones,
endorphins. In turn, this can help reduce depression, anxiety and stress and improve our overall mood and sleep.
Talking to other players and rallying in singles or doubles means that badminton is a social sport. This can be
particularly beneficial in combating loneliness among older players.

4. Heart Health
A healthy heart is essential to ensure your body functions correctly and properly. Badminton decreases the levels
of ‘bad’ cholesterol, which can block your blood vessels and improves the levels of good cholesterol. This leads
to a reduced risk of hypertension (high blood pressure), heart attack and stroke.

5. Badminton Helps Reduce Health Risks

Badminton can reduce the risks of developing type two diabetes as an adult. It reduces the production of sugar in
the liver, which in turn reduces the body’s fasting blood sugar.

Whereas for children and young adults, chasing the shuttlecock and moving around the court at a fast pace can
aid in developing bone mass and density. This lessens the likelihood of osteoporosis in the future.

6. Increased Life Expectancy

A Danish study carried out on 9,000 people, found that playing a racket-based sport such as badminton can
increase your life expectancy by approximately six years. Football can increase life expectancy by more than four
years, while cycling, swimming and jogging can each boost life expectancy by over three years.

7. Improved Mobility
As we age, our mobility gradually begins to become more limited. We can prevent this by ensuring we lubricate
our joints by keeping up with our fitness regime and remaining active. It also helps to minimise the risk of arthritis
and other joint issues.

8. Badminton is a Flexible Exercise

Everyone can enjoy badminton, regardless of your fitness or health. You can choose a more or less intense
workout by altering the pace you’re playing at. This is to suit your individual needs and the needs and abilities of
the other players.

9. Child Friendly
With kids getting more and more tech savvy, using smart phones, tablets and the TV as forms of entertainment. It
can sometimes be difficult to motivate your children to get out and about and take part in physical activity outside
of school. By bringing them to a badminton session they’ll be able to learn about the importance of health and
fitness and learn new skills. Plus you’ll be able to have a superb time as a whole family.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

Net - A mesh net divides the badminton court into two sides. A badminton net is placed lower than a volleyball
net at five feet and one inch high on the sides and five feet high in the center. The length may vary depending
on whether doubles or singles are playing, with singles reaching 17 feet and doubles reaching 22 feet. The net
is 30 inches wide with a 3-inch white tape doubled over the top.

Post - 5 feet and 1 inch in height from the floor.

Shuttlecock -The badminton shuttlecock, also referred to as a shuttle or birdie,

acts similarly to a ball in other racket sports. However, the design of the birdie
creates more drag as it is propelled through the air due to its feathered shape.
The shuttlecock is made up of a cone shape with a hard cork at its tip.
Shuttlecocks can be made from a variety of materials -- more expensive
models are actually made from feathers, and less expensive models are made
from plastic feathers. The shuttle has 16 feathers attached to the base and the
length of the feathers range between 2.44 and 2.75 inches.

Racket -

The badminton racket is one of the most important tools a

player has in the game. Badminton rackets are much
lighter than most other sports rackets because they are
made from materials such as carbon fiber or lighter
metals such as aluminum. Parts of the racket include the
head, throat, shaft and handle with a maximum length of
27.77 inches and a width of 9 inches. It Strings that are
stretched across the opening of the racket in a
checkerboard pattern, which acts as the hitting surface.
Badminton rackets can vary widely in cost depending on
whether they are purchased as part of a basic backyard
set or as more expensive professional models.

Parts of the racket

Head – bounds the stringed area.

Stringed area - is the part of the racket with

which it is intended the player hits the shuttle.

Shaft – connects the handle to the head

Throat – (if present) connects the shaft to the head

Handle - is the part of the racket intended

to be gripped by the player.

doubles, and 44 feet long by 17 feet wide for singles. If the facility is indoors, there
needs to be enough height for the shuttlecock to be able to float across the net
without hitting the ceiling. This height will vary depending on the strength of the
players.
