Badminton improves muscle strength, heart functioning and helps to reduce stress. It also improves flexibility, boosts metabolism and strengthens bones. It is also vital in improving mental agility

Badminton made its Olympic debut as a demonstration sport at the 1972 Games in Munich, and was included as an exhibition sport at the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games; four years later badminton became an official part of the Olympic program at the 1992 Games

Badminton is the fastest racquet sport in the world—shuttles can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour
