Reading

The history of badminton brings us all the way back to the mid-18th century. The game of
badminton started to become popular in India at a small town called Poona. When India was still
a British Colony badminton was played mostly by the British military officers. At this point,
Badminton was just a game played for fun, and it was known as “battledore and shuttlecock”
in British India instead of Badminton. The bat was initially referred to as “Battledore”.
Battledore and shuttlecock was a rather simple outdoor game. Both players were just required to
keep the shuttlecock in the air if possible, preventing it from touching the ground. Battledore and
shuttlecock was then brought back to England where it was introduced to the upper class
community. Eventually the game was officially introduced to the guests of the Duke of Beaufort
at his house. Interestingly, the house was called BADMINTON. The English really
loved the game, and you can guess how the sport got its name
“Badminton”.
Historical Development of Badminton
Quick facts on the development of the sport and history of badminton:
 Official rules were developed after the game was introduced to the people in England
 The FIRST open badminton tournament was held at Guildford, England in 1898
 The FIRST All England Badminton Championships was held the following year.
 The FIRST official Badminton World Championships was held in 1977.
 Badminton became an Olympic sport in 1992.
 The Badminton World Federation (BWF) introduced the Badminton Super Series events
in 2007 to further promote the sport.
Strongest Badminton Nations over the Years
England Produced the Best Player in the History of Badminton. In the early 19th century, Great Britain
produced many fine players.
George Thomas was probably the BEST badminton players in the history of
badminton! He has won 21 All-England titles over his career. The largest team championships event
today, the Thomas Cup Badminton Team Championships was named after George Thomas.
Unfortunately we have yet to see England produce players of that
class. It has been a while since the English had dominated the world of
badminton.
The style of play in badminton has evolved over the years!
Technology made this possible. Rackets are lighter. Badminton shoes are better. Quality of
shuttlecocks have improved.
Badminton trainings are also more intense, and some are even supported by sports science.

 Lesson 2
The Warm-up Activities

Lesson Objectives

a. Distinguish the importance of warm-up exercise, and;
b. Determine the benefits of flexibility exercises.

Reading

Cooper (1990) and Le Beouf (2009) recommends that the first goal is to select and
complete a set of exercise that gets your muscle warmed-up and ready for the game. Your warm-
up exercises might include the use of some exercise machines, slow exercises with your legs
such as brisk walking, marching in place, and climbing stairs in a gym or jumping jacks or a
basketball specific warm-up.

Course and Year: __________________________ Date: _______________

Challenge yourself
Exercise 1: Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect. Write your
answer on the space provided before each number.
_______________1. Muscle of the body are a lot more elastic and durable when they are gradually
heated rather when they are immediately thrust into intense work.
_______________2. Warmed up muscles can react to changes more quickly, such as contracting and
relaxing when needed, thus overall performance of the body enhanced.
_______________3. Stretching is a form of physical exercise with which specific skeletal muscle
groups are stretched to improve the elasticity of the muscle and reaffirm comfortable muscle tone.
_______________4. The purpose of stretching is to increase muscle control, flexibility as well as
range of motion.
_______________5. Stretching is also used therapeutically for alleviating muscle cramps.
