The use of a badminton racket of fewer than 100 grams of weight and a lightweight steering wheel explain why badminton is the easiest racquet sport to practice. The beginner gets to make long rallies from the first day he enters the track and develops a complete physical activity in which coordination, speed, strength and endurance are worked on.
– It favors coordination and strength.
– Improves the speed of reaction and reflexes
– Facilitates joint mobility of arms, waist and legs.
– Does not require specific facilities.
– It hardly produces injuries.
– It’s easy and fun.
“Unlike foosball or ping pong, badminton does require a bit large facilities, as it can be played in any sports hall or gym. In addition, the racket weighs only 80 grams, so the child can move it well and easily make the hits without posing any danger to him. ”
On the other hand, injuries are quite infrequent when practicing badminton as an amateur. When there is no direct contact with the opponent, a large part of the traumatic injuries that accompany other sports such as football or basketball are avoided. “A good track and with appropriate shoes that allow the grip to the surface, practically eliminate the risk of injury in the amateur.”
In any case, David Serrano recommends performing, before each game, comprehensive warming that includes stretching of all muscle groups of the body, since many joints will be involved, both the lower train and the upper train, and make sudden movements of the shoulder and the forearm.
