4. The badminton match is won when a player wins:

In each set, players score, provided they win the point they were disputing (this differs from

service). The match consists of 3 sets, and is awarded by the player who manages to win in two
of them, without the need to play the third if they have already achieved the first two.
On the starting serve, the serving player and the receiving player must be placed on opposite
diagonals of the service area. He server must hit the steering wheel below the waist for it to
land in the rival’s service area. The player who is serving should not commit fouls, which are:
hitting the steering wheel with the racket on the waist; hitting the part of the feathers with the
racket before touching the cork; step on any of the demarcated lines on the court or lift one of
the two feet before hitting the steering wheel; place the top of the racket (rope) upwards and
strike the steering wheel with it in that position; make an obvious feint with the racket,
simulating a blow to the steering wheel, which is called a double blow.
Who wins at least 2 sets, will be the winner.

6. Badminton is only played with a backhand, right or false?:

True, the backhand serves to displace the opposite and, at times, force up the net or gaining
the point. In this blow, it is very important the position of the body, we should not stand in
front of the net, but the most advisable position is sideways, with the shoulder pointing to the
net. It is important, as in the right hand stroke, that the weight of the body falls from back to
front at the moment of hitting the ball.

7. Explains the clear hitting:

We are looking for a clarification. That is, we make a long balloon towards the bottom of the
track. The objective, that our rival stops being near the net and goes behind the track. It is a
defensive blow that seeks to counterattack in the next hit. To do this, we must hit at a lower
height.

8. Where does badminton have its origins?

Badminton is a modern version of a primitive and simpler game called battledore, which was
invented in China and in the early years was a simple form of fun. It was practiced with 2
wooden paddles and a ball. This was modified so that its flight was slower, similar to that of
the modern "rooster".
 PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The current game of badminton arose in India, where it was called Poona, the name of a town
in the country where it was originally played. Some British army officers saw the game in India
and took it to England around 1873. There, the Duke of Beaufort became interested in
gambling. Since it was regularly practiced on his country estate of Gloucestershire, known as
Badminton, this name continued to be associated with the game. In its original form,
badminton was a rather formal game that was practiced wearing Prince Albert jackets,
buttoned shoes, bow tie, and bulging silk pants. Get out of a club that expelled a player who
dared to strip off his coat.
The first badminton club was formed in Bath, England, in 1873. The game was introduced in
the United States in 1890 and was also introduced in Canada. The National Badminton
Association of the United States was created in 1895. At that time the rules were unified. The
Canadian Badminton Association was founded in 1931 and the North American Badminton
Association in 1936. By 1910 there were 300 badminton clubs and their number rose to 9000
shortly after World War I.
The first championship tournament for men from all over England was held in 1899, and the
first for ladies in 1900. The first American championships were held in 1937 in Chicago.
