Abstraction

History of Badminton

Badminton is a racket sports played by either two opposing players (singles)


or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of rectangular
court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their
rackets so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents’ half court. A rally
ends once the shuttlecock may only be struck once by each side before it passes over
the net.

Badminton, court or lawn game played with lightweight rackets and


a shuttlecock. Historically, the shuttlecock (also known as a “bird” or “birdie”) was a
small cork hemisphere with 16 goose feathers attached and weighing about 0.17
ounce (5 grams). These types of shuttles may still be used in modern play, but shuttles
made from synthetic materials are also allowed by the Badminton World Federation.
The game is named for Badminton, the country estate of the dukes of Beaufort in
Gloucestershire, England, where it was first played about 1873. The roots of the sport
can be traced to ancient Greece, China, and India, and it is closely related to the old
children’s game battledore and shuttlecock. Badminton is derived directly from
poona, which was played by British army officers stationed in India in the 1860s. The
first unofficial all-England badminton championships for men were held in 1899, and
the first badminton tournament for women was arranged the next year.

Facilities and Equipment’s

Different versions of badminton have been played for centuries, but it was the
game of "Poona" in India that was the basis for the game of badminton we play

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 3 | COMPOSTELA VALLEY STATE COLLEGE


ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEPARTMENT PAGE | 35
today. In the 1860's a group of stationed British army officers learned the
game and took it back with them from India. The game grew in popularity
until 1895 when the Badminton Association of England was formed, along
with the rules of game play that are used around the world even today. In order
to play this form of badminton, certain equipment and facilities are needed.

Racket

Source: [Link]

The badminton racket is one of the most important tools a player has in the
game. Badminton rackets are much lighter than most other sports rackets because they
are made from materials such as carbon fiber or lighter metals such as aluminium.
Parts of the racket include the head, throat, shaft and handle with a maximum length
of 27.77 inches and a width of 9 inches. It Strings that are stretched across the
opening of the racket in a checkerboard pattern, which acts as the hitting surface.
Badminton rackets can vary widely in cost depending on whether they are purchased
as part of a basic backyard set or as more expensive professional models.

Shuttlecock

badminton equipment/[Link]

The badminton shuttlecock, also referred to as a shuttle or birdie, acts


similarly to a ball in other racket sports. However, the design of the birdie creates
more drag as it is propelled through the air due to its feathered shape. The shuttlecock
is made up of

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 3 | COMPOSTELA VALLEY STATE COLLEGE


ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEPARTMENT PAGE | 36
a cone shape with a hard cork at its tip. Shuttlecocks can be made from a variety of
materials -- more expensive models are actually made from feathers, and less
expensive models are made from plastic feathers. The shuttle has 16 feathers attached
to the base and the length of the feathers range between 2.44 and 2.75 inches.

Net

Source: [Link]

A mesh net divides the badminton court into two sides. A badminton net is
placed lower than a volleyball net at five feet and one inch high on the sides and five
feet high in the center. The length may vary depending on whether doubles or singles
are playing, with singles reaching 17 feet and doubles reaching 22 feet. The net is 30
inches wide with a 3-inch white tape doubled over the top.

Facilities

Source :[Link]

The badminton court should be 44 feet long by 22 feet wide if playing doubles, and 44
feet long by 17 feet wide for singles. If the facility is indoors, there needs to be
enough

Abstraction

Fundamental Skills in Badminton

Badminton is a fairly easy game to learn and fun to play casually and competitively.
Basic badminton skills include learning how you hold the racket, serve the shuttle and
move your feet. You can practice drills to improve your game. Rules and scoring are
established for singles and doubles games.

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.

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.

Scoring

Simple badminton rules include a scoring system where you play until you score 21
points. Three games constitute a match. A point is scored each time there is a serve
and the side that wins the rally scores the point. You have to win by at least 2 points
unless the game reaches 29 and there is still not a winner. The first side to score 30
points wins. If you win a game you will serve first in the next game.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 3 | COMPOSTELA VALLEY STATE COLLEGE


ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEPARTMENT PAGE | 41
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.
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.

Badminton Grip

The badminton players should remember the following reminders:

1. Starting with a correct Badminton Grip is the foundation of Playing


badminton.

2. Holding the racket wrongly will decrease your stroke’s power and
accuracy. Your shots will be limited and therefore you will not enjoy the game
as much let alone improve.

3. You will need to learn how to change grip quickly during games.
Below are the two basic types of Badminton Grip.

GENERAL WARM-UP DYNAMIC STRETCHING EXERCISES FOR 5 MINUTES

Forehand Grip: Start with racket head in vertical position, Grip racket as if you were
shaking hands with it, Wrap index finger around racket at a 45-degree angle.

Common Strokes in Badminton

The attacking clear is a lot lower than the regular defensive clear, and the
purpose of this shot is to throw your opponent off balance, especially when your
opponent is expecting a different shot, such as a dropped shot or a smash. And that's
basically how you hit an attacking or offensive clear.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 3 | COMPOSTELA VALLEY STATE COLLEGE


ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEPARTMENT PAGE | 44
Source: [Link]

Defensive Clear

In a singles game, players use the clear more than any other types of shots. A
high defensive clear prevents your opponent from smashing from a good angle. If
your clear sends the shuttle right to your opponent's baseline, it's considered a “good”
defensive clear.

Source: [Link]

Underarm clear

The underhand clear, also known as a lob, is an effective shot to drive the
opponent into the rear court. It is played from the forecourt to the opponent's rear
court. The underarm clear is a defensive shot and it is generally used to counter a drop
shot.

Badminton drop shot

A drop shot is the name given to the badminton shot that you perform when you are in
the back of your court and you hit the shuttle so it lands in the front part of your
opponent's side (near the net).

Badminton Drive. Badminton Drive shots are shots that cross the net flatly in a
horizontal trajectory. It can be played both on the forehand and backhand.

Forehand Smash Technique

A forehand smash is an overhead smash that a player hits with all the tempo
downwards. If you are a good baller or know how to throw a ball with a pretty good
pace and angle, then yes, this badminton smash is your technique to win. It's almost
akin to throwing a ball straight.

To play badminton effectively, several essential skills are required, including proper grip, footwork, and mastering various strokes. The grip is foundational, with two primary types: the forehand grip, used for shots on the dominant side and overhead shots, and the backhand grip, crucial for shots on the non-dominant side . Effective footwork enables players to move efficiently, maintain balance, and position themselves strategically for shots; it involves shuffling and lunging, which are critical for agility and control during gameplay . Fundamental strokes include the attacking clear, designed to disrupt opponents' balance, the defensive clear for repelling attacks, the drop shot to force opponents forward, and the drive for flat, fast exchanges . Mastering these skills directly impacts a player's ability to control rallies, manage the pace of the game, and execute strategic plays that can outmaneuver opponents, ultimately contributing to successful gameplay in singles and doubles formats.

The modular approach in Physical Education 3 enhances the learning experience and ensures effective skill acquisition in sports like badminton by systematically structuring content and learning activities. This approach divides the curriculum into focused modules, each with specific objectives, such as learning the history and fundamental skills of badminton. The use of structured modules allows students to build competencies incrementally, where each module focuses on a meaningful segment of learning that concludes with practical application . Within each module, sections like Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and Application guide students through a learning process that instills both theoretical understanding and practical skills. This structure helps students to first absorb foundational knowledge, analyze and abstract concepts, and finally apply those skills in practical settings, which reinforces learning and facilitates long-term retention. Consistent feedback and assessments embedded in the modules ensure that learners understand and apply the acquired knowledge effectively, leading to comprehensive skill acquisition and confidence in executing sports techniques .

The PE curriculum employs several instructional strategies to address challenges of reduced physical activity among students due to COVID-19 and technology usage. The course is structured to integrate enjoyable and engaging activities that motivate students to participate actively, counteracting the sedentary lifestyle associated with technology use . It includes varied physical activities such as dance, individual, dual, and combative sports to appeal to diverse interests and preferences, encouraging broader student participation. The modular format allows for adaptable learning that can be incorporated into at-home exercise regimens, especially during periods of social distancing . Focusing on skill development in sports like badminton ensures that students learn techniques that can be practiced alone or with minimal equipment, thus remaining accessible regardless of external restrictions. Additionally, by emphasizing the psychological benefits of physical activity, the curriculum promotes mental well-being, aiming to boost confidence and reduce anxiety, which may be heightened due to isolation and screen time .

Participating in sports like badminton provides numerous physiological benefits that are important for long-term health. It improves cardiovascular health by enhancing heart function and reducing the risk of diseases such as hypertension and heart attack. Regular play strengthens bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis, and builds muscle, particularly around the core, legs, and arms, improving overall body strength and endurance . Badminton also enhances coordination, balance, and flexibility, which are critical for mitigating fall risks and maintaining independence with age. Additionally, it contributes to weight management by burning calories and reducing body fat, thereby decreasing the risk of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. These benefits are crucial for maintaining physical health and functional independence throughout life .

The inclusion of dance in the Physical Education 3 curriculum provides valuable insights into its role in promoting overall health and fitness goals. Dance as a physical activity combines cardiovascular workouts with strength and flexibility training, offering a full-spectrum fitness regimen that benefits heart health, muscle endurance, coordination, and balance. Its inclusion in the curriculum serves as an enjoyable and creative outlet that can appeal to students who may not be drawn to traditional sports, thereby expanding their engagement in physical education . Dance also enables self-expression and boosts self-confidence, providing psychological benefits like stress relief and mood enhancement. By offering a diverse array of physical activities such as dance, the curriculum seeks to accommodate varying interests and fitness levels, thereby fostering an inclusive environment where all students can work toward their health goals in a supportive setting. This holistic approach aids in the cultivation of lifelong habits of physical activity that contribute to sustained health and well-being .

Learning about the history and equipment of badminton can foster a deeper appreciation for the sport among students by providing context and understanding of its evolution and cultural significance. Understanding its origins and development over time reveals how badminton has been influenced by and has influenced different cultures, highlighting its role as a global sport . Knowledge of the game's history can enhance students' respect for its traditions and pioneers, motivating them to appreciate the sport's heritage. Familiarity with equipment, such as the racket and shuttlecock, fosters understanding of the technological advancements that have shaped current gameplay mechanics and strategies. This deeper insight into the technical aspects of equipment can increase students' engagement, as they learn how these elements impact their own play and how they can maximize their use for better performance. This comprehensive understanding and appreciation encourage lifelong interest and involvement in badminton .

The structure of Physical Education 3 is designed to sequentially build a learner’s understanding and practical application of health and fitness concepts. The course is divided into three modules, each focusing on different physical activities such as individual, dual, and combative sports. Each module includes four sections: Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and Application. The Activity section encourages learners to apply previous knowledge and acquire new skills, helping them integrate what they have learned with new concepts. The Analysis section facilitates deeper cognitive processing by prompting learners to analyze the knowledge gained and respond to guided questions. The Abstraction section presents the lesson in a structured manner, including solved examples for clarity, while addressing questions posed in the Analysis phase. Finally, the Application section focuses on the practical implementation, allowing learners to apply lessons in real contexts, thereby reinforcing the knowledge and skills acquired through graded activities and quizzes. This progression ensures learners not only understand but can apply health and fitness principles in their lives .

The application section of the lessons in Physical Education 3 plays a crucial role in reinforcing theoretical knowledge through practical exercises by translating the learned concepts into real-world scenarios and activities. This section emphasizes practical application by encouraging students to implement the skills and strategies acquired in theory into actual play or exercises. For instance, students might demonstrate badminton techniques through structured drills or games, which solidifies their understanding by practicing under realistic conditions . This process helps to bridge the gap between theory and practice, enabling students to experience firsthand how concepts like grip, footwork, and strokes function together to improve gameplay. By incorporating assessment activities in this section, such as quizzes or performance evaluations, it further ingrains the knowledge and encourages continuous improvement through iterative practice and feedback. This strategy ensures that theoretical lessons have meaningful relevance in practical settings, which is key to effective learning and retention .

Grip techniques significantly impact a player's performance in badminton by influencing stroke power, accuracy, and control. The correct execution of grip techniques can enhance shot quality and enable efficient execution of various strokes during a game. The forehand grip involves holding the racket as if shaking hands with it, allowing effective movement for shots hit on the dominant side and above the head; this grip is crucial for smashes and drives . Conversely, the backhand grip is utilized for shots on the non-dominant side, with the thumb placed on the broad part of the grip, providing support for flicking actions necessary for backhand clears and defensive shots . Incorrect grip use can lead to limited stroke options and reduced accuracy, impacting a player's ability to perform strategically. Quick transition between forehand and backhand grips during play is essential for responding to different shuttle positions and plays, directly affecting agility and adaptability in dynamic game situations .

Fundamental badminton strokes like drops and clears facilitate strategic play and provide competitive advantage by allowing players to control the pace and positioning during a match. The drop shot, executed from the back of the court so that the shuttle lands near the net, is effective in drawing opponents forward, disrupting their position and balance . This sets up opportunities for offensive shots such as smashes or clears. Clears, both attacking and defensive, push opponents to the rear of the court, creating space in the front court for potential drop shots or forcing them into weak returns . The strategic use of these strokes can manipulate the opponent's movement and force errors or weak returns, thereby allowing players to position themselves advantageously for scoring opportunities. Mastery of these strokes contributes to a versatile game plan, enhancing a player's ability to adapt to different opponents' strategies and exploit their weaknesses .
