Factors about Badminton Ethics and Psychology in 2022 :- Badminton Facts

Badminton, a racket game that is somewhat similar to tennis, is played with a shuttlecock and racket. It is usually played by two to four players on a rectangular court.

It is located in the middle and divides the court into two equal sections. The net is where players aim to get the shuttle across and make sure it doesn’t land on their side.

Badminton is just like any other sport. Every player should have the right equipment, no matter whether he’s playing in a domestic match or international match.

Badminton gear consists of a racket that weighs approximately 100 grams, a shuttlecock made of various materials such as synthetic materials and goose feathers and weighs between 4,74 and 5.50 grams. A net is placed in the middle court.

Badminton can be played in three forms:

  • Badminton Singles
  • Doubles Badminton
  • Badminton Mixed Doubles

Badminton History

Badminton was created around two thousand years ago. It has a rich history. Many believe that it has roots in India, China, and ancient Greece. After some research, we discovered that badminton was actually originated in India. It was played in ancient times by Shuttlecock and Battledore.

It was born in Pune, India and was named Poona. This sport attracted the attention of British officers stationed overseas in India in the 1860s. It remained popular among British expatriates until 1870. This sport was later renamed badminton in 1887 after the Duke of Beaufort.

The English started playing the sport following the Indian rules. In 1893, the Bath Badminton Club, which was the first badminton club, changed the rules and standardised them according to British ideas. The All England Open Badminton Championships was even organized by them in 1898.

BWF (Badminton world Federation) was established on 5th July 1934. It has nine members, which include Canada, England, Wales and the Netherlands. BWF has 198 members today.
