recorded forms of sports was bull-
B. leaping in the Greek island of Crete, where slaves jumped over the horns of a
bull. The ancient Greeks were lovers of sport and taught it to their children at
school. The main activities were wrestling, running, jumping, discus and
javelin, ball games, gymnastics, and riding as well as military skills. Sporting
competitions took place regularly as part of religious festivals.
C. It was also in Greece that the Olympic
Games started in 776 BC and were linked to
religious festivals. Each athlete had to take
part in all the events. Many of the sports
were linked to the training given to soldiers,
and many such as discus and javelin are
still in the modern Olympic Games.

D. Roman sports were influenced by the Greeks, but they added their own
emphasis. Chariot racing and gladiator
fights were held at large sporting
events. Individuals or teams of men
would fight animals or each other to
death. The Roman Games were big
occasions, usually paid for by the
emperor, making them popular with the
people. The gladiator fights were
extremely violent and were normally
done by slaves and prisoners.
Roman sporting activities also included
animal hunts, wrestling, running,
boxing, pentathlon (which consisted of
running, jumping, discus, spear
throwing, and wrestling) and
pancratium, which was a combination
of wrestling, boxing, and martial arts.
The competitors were called athlete and trained full time as professionals. They
became celebrities in the Roman society and enjoyed many privileges.

E. Medieval Sports After the fall of

Pedagogical the Dark Ages. It was a time of
Excellence
much religious change and political conflict
around the world. There was increase in
wealth and interest in the arts and the
sciences. In Europe, social class determined
the sport in which one participated. Royalty
and the aristocracy hunted, played cricket,
watched horseracing, and fenced. The most
famous sports in medieval times were jousting
on horseback with lances. This was done by
knights practicing their fighting skills in mock
battles.
Sports were mostly associated with the Church and were played by peasants on
holy days and festivals. An activity such as mob football was a chance for the
entire village to get together and let off steam. The games had very few rules, if
any, and were more of a free for all and were not played very often because they
could be extremely violent and people even died.
F. Industrial Revolution
At the start of the 19th century, sports became more organized and the
development of modern sports started. Machinery was developed and used in
the production of goods. This resulted in movement of the population from rural
areas to towns to seek employment in these industries, and this had a great
impact on sport.

There was not enough space in the

industrialized towns to play the sports
they knew from their villages. Also,
working for long hours did not leave
them with much energy to play sports
they knew from their villages. The
village games died and new sports
took their place. This new breed of
laborer’s became watchers of sports instead of participators.
The development of railways allowed for spectators and teams to travel around
the country to watch and compete in sports, leading to the development of
competitive leagues and cup competitions.

LESSON 1.1: HISTORY OF BADMINTON (WEEK 2)

A. The roots of the sport of badminton can be traced back thousands of years,
although the exact origin is unknown. Games involving a racket and a shuttlecock
were probably developed and played in Ancient
Greece.
The inception of badminton in England stems from the
popular pastime of 'Battledore and Shuttlecock'. This
involved using a paddle to keep a shuttlecock off the
ground for as long as possible.

B. The modern-day title of 'badminton' first came into use in 1873. The game of
'Battledore and Shuttlecock' was frequently played at Badminton House, the home
of the Duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire,
England. A net was added to the classic
game, and it was so popular here that it
became known as "the Badminton game". The
game soon become well known as
'badminton'.
