In physical education, increasing MVPA has the greatest potential for
increasing health benefits for most students as it generates more energy
expenditure; contributes to obesity prevention and muscular and bone
development; reduces anxiety and stress; improves self-esteem, mood and
concentration; and reduces the risk of chronic disease.

This lesson will lead you to the importance of engaging in moderate to

vigorous physical activities (MVPAs) for at least 60 minutes most days of
the week in a variety of settings in-and-out of the school in order to
establish the good quality of
life

What’s New

Did You Know?

The origin of the game badminton is complex and unclear. However, the
general assumption, badminton has its origins in ancient civilizations in
Europe and Asia. The ancient game known as battledore (bat or paddle)
and shuttlecock probably originated more than 2000 years ago.
In the 1600s battledore and shuttlecock was an upper-class pastime in
England and many European countries. Battledore and shuttlecock were
simply two people hitting a shuttlecock backwards and forwards with a
simple bat as many times as they could without allowing it to hit the ground.
Modern badminton can be traced to mid-19th century British India. It was
created by British military officers stationed there. A net was added to the
traditional English game of battledore and shuttlecock. As it was popular in
the British garrison town of Poona, the game came to be known as "Poona"
or "Poonai" Initially, woolen balls were preferred by the upper classes in
windy or wet conditions, but ultimately shuttlecocks took over the role of a
"ball." This game was taken by retired officers who got back to England. It
was introduced as a game for the guests of the Duke of Beaufort at his
stately home 'Badminton' in Gloucestershire, England where it became
popular. Hence, the origin of the name "Badminton."
In March 1898, the first Open Tournament was held at Guildford and the
first 'All England' Championships were held the following year.
 What is It

Badminton
A racket sport played indoors on a court by two opposing
players (singles) or two opposing pairs of players (doubles), in which a
shuttlecock is volleyed over a net and the competitions are presided by an
umpire in British English and a referee in American English.

1. Game

The five main categories of badminton play are men’s singles, women’s
singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. To play
badminton, opposing singles players or doubles teams stand on either
side of a badminton net. Players rally one shuttlecock over the net using
a racket. Rally is the badminton term for volleying a shuttlecock across
the net until it hits the ground. The goal is to land the shuttlecock in the
marked boundaries on the opposing side of the net. One point is earned
by the side that wins the rally. A badminton game scores to 21 points.
Badminton matches are the best-of-three games. At the beginning of the
badminton game and whenever the server’s score is an even number,
servers serve the shuttle over the net to the opposing player from the
right side of the court. Servers serve the shuttle over the net from the
left side of the court when their score is an odd number. Servers serve
from the opposite side of their court when they win a rally and a point.
Doubles badminton play observe the same serving rules as singles
badminton play with the exception of passing the serve. Serves pass
consecutively to players opposite each other on the badminton court.

2. Court

The court is a 13.40m x 5.18m rectangle for singles and a 13.40m x

6.10m rectangle for doubles. The same court is used for Singles and
Doubles contests; only the line marks differ. The court is divided into
two equal parts by a net attached to the posts at a height of 1.55m.
3. Net

A badminton net is 2 1/2-feet deep and is raised 5 feet high across the
center of the badminton court, over the net line. Often made from vinyl
mesh, most nets have a leather or cotton top.

4. Shuttles

The shuttlecock is made of a

semispherical piece of cork coated with
leather. On it are attached 16 real goose
feathers forming a cone. A shuttlecock
must weigh between 4.74g and 5.5g.

5. Rackets

Badminton rackets are made from lightweight materials that are known
for durability such as aluminum, steel and carbon fiber. The overall
length limit of a badminton racket is 26.77 inches. Standard badminton
rackets must not be wider than 9.06 inches. The strings on the racket
must range from .03 inches thick. The overall weight of the racket
cannot exceed 3.2 oz.
6. Badminton Uniform
Badminton athletes wear shorts/skirts
and short sleeved shirts and any
combination of colors is permissible. In
doubles both players must wear the same
clothing, which has their name on the back
of the shirts. Shoes are usually flat but
there are no official standards or
specifications.

Badminton, like the other sports, is an activity that requires physical

actions at a certain level of skill and ability where players compete under a
set of rules. Whereas, it is necessary to learn the basic of badminton in
order to properly play the game. Nonetheless, understanding how the game
is played is most essential. Basic badminton skills and rules are as follows.

1. Grip
You will want to learn how to hold your racket with the forehand to hit
shuttles on that side of your body and backhand to hit on the opposite
side. You will use a forehand grip to hit above your head as well. You
can hit the shuttle using a backhand grip with your elbow up or down.
It is good to practice hitting with these grips to improve your skills.

Basic Ways of Gripping the Racket

A. Forehand
This grip is used to hit shots that
are on the hand facing in the
direction of the stroke and around
the head shots.
B. Backhand Grip
This grip is used to hit shots that
are on back of the hand facing in
the direction of the stroke, with the
arm across the body.
2.Footwork

Your footwork can bring more success to your game if you learn the
basics of moving on the court and practice them. Your ready position
should include standing in the center of the court if you are playing
singles and bending your knees with your body relaxed and waiting for
play. Move your feet by shuffling them or gliding from left to right and
stepping or lunging forward. To move backward, go fast enough that you
get behind the shuttle to hit it hard enough.
3. Serving Fundamental Skills
Four types of badminton serves include: 1) the high serve to move your
opponent to the back of his or her side of the court; 2) the low serve to
make your opponent have to get under the shuttle; 3) the flick serve that
is used occasionally to confuse your opponent who thinks you are going
to hit a low serve; and, 4) the drive serve where you hit the shuttle low,
fast and to the rear of the receiver's court as a strategy move that will
result in a missed hit.
4. Scoring

A match is the best of three games. The winner of each game is the first
player(s) to reach 21, by two clear points. At 20-all, the side which scores
two consecutive points shall win that game. At 29-all, the side scoring
the 30th point shall win that game. A point is scored by winning a rally.
Points are scored regardless of who is serving and the side who wins the
point serves the next point. The side winning a game serves first in the
next game. Simple badminton rules include a scoring system where you
play until you score 21 points.

5. Singles

To begin a singles game of badminton you will serve from the right side
of the court. After the initial serve, the position depends on the server's
score. If your score is even, you serve from the right and if it is odd you
serve from the left. In addition, if the server wins the rally he will
continue to serve, and if the receiver wins, the next serve goes to the
receiver.

6. Doubles

In doubles play, serving goes back and forth between partners. The
serving side is the same as in singles play in terms of even score serves
from right and odd score from left. The serving partner alternates court
sides if she continues to score during a rally and will serve until a rally
is lost. When the serve comes back to the team the partner will serve
next.

7. Sports Terminologies

• Ace: An outright point from a serve that is not even touched by

the receiver.
• Lift: A shot played from beneath the height of the net, normally
played high to the back of the court.
• Smash: A hard, overhead shot, hit directly down into the
opposition’s court.
• Clear: A shot hit deep into the opponent’s court.

8. Additional Rules

The Badminton World Federation rules state that there is a 60-second

interval when the winning team scores the 11th point. In addition, two-
minute intervals are taken between games. If a match reaches three
games, there is a change of ends when the winning side scores 11 points.
