Hit and Smash
Ever got tired of exercises, the same plain old run-and-jog thingy you do during the wee hours of the morning just to burn calories and keep your body in a healthy fit? Grab a racket then, and start heading towards the nearest badminton courts.
Badminton is a game long played before up until now, and even if in some point in the history, its popularity seemed to fade, it never really grows old. It was even believed to date back during the Ancient Greek era in an early form. It became an Olympic sport since 1992.
It’s a racket sport played by either two opposing players (termed as: singles) or two opposing pairs (termed as: doubles). The players score points by hitting a shuttlecock with their racket to make it pass beyond the net to the opposite side of the courts, and trying to make the opponent miss the incoming shuttlecock.
The rules are quite simple to follow. Of course, like any other sports, there are limitations to take note of and, fouls and faults to avoid. The most common fault that one can commit is the failure to return the struck shuttlecock back to the opponent. Other faults include the failure of a player to do right in his service or turn to hit the shuttlecock, or if the shuttlecock went outside the courts or up the ceiling.
The equipments involved are: the badminton racket, which is noticeably lighter than the tennis one, the shuttlecock, the ‘ball’ of the play, the strings and grip, the shoes (which can be tennis shoes) and the badminton court and net.
Badminton is comparable to tennis in most ways. The main distinguishable difference between the two might be the tools used in the play. Badminton uses the shuttlecock, while tennis uses the tennis ball. Other differences include- in tennis, the ball is allowed to bounce once before it gets hit, while in badminton, the rally is over if the shuttlecock hits the ground.
Badminton is said to be one of the finest conditioning game activities, according to the Department of Physical Education at Baylor University. Said sports require lots of running, jumping, hand-eye coordination, and good reflexes- thus making it a worth of your time.
Indeed, badminton is just one of the hundreds of sports existing today. However, it’s unique in its own way- whether we do it just to kill time, or for recreation, or for a more serious note. Badminton will surely be worth your while.
