What are the benefits of playing badminton?

Badminton is a very common mass sport that is loved by many people. Most people often play badminton for leisure and entertainment. However, many people only know that playing badminton regularly is for health and fitness, but few people really know the benefits of playing badminton and just treat it as a form of entertainment. So today I will explain to you the benefits of playing badminton.

The benefits of playing badminton

1. Exercise your eyesight

The reason why playing badminton can make people have “quick eyes and quick hands” is very simple: when playing, both players have to constantly observe the opponent’s racket swing and the high-speed flying ball. The eyes closely follow the high-speed flying ball, and the ciliary muscles of the eyes will constantly contract and relax.

It greatly promotes the blood circulation of the eye tissue, thereby improving the function of the ciliary muscle. Long-term exercise can improve people's visual sensitivity and eye response ability. For ordinary badminton enthusiasts, especially those who overuse their eyes, if they can persist in playing badminton, their visual sensitivity will be significantly improved.

2. Relax muscles and activate blood circulation

Badminton, like basketball, tennis and table tennis, is a sport that requires strong physical strength. Technique accounts for 40% and physical strength accounts for 60%. Even in freezing cold weather, your whole body will sweat after playing a game. This is even more severe in spring and autumn. It helps the body adjust and balance, promotes metabolism, and is very beneficial for preventing cardiovascular disease and strengthening the body.

3. Treatment of cervical spondylosis (peri-shoulder)

When playing badminton, you need to coordinate your hands and shoulders and hit the ball hard. You need to lift your head and move your shoulders. If you insist on playing for more than an hour every day, it will be difficult to form bone hyperplasia. Therefore, cervical spondylosis and periarthritis of the shoulder are difficult to occur.

4. Detoxification and Beauty

Comrades who play badminton for a long time are less fat, walk more easily and look younger. Sweating every day will expel toxins from your body, make your bowel movements smooth, make you sweat profusely, and excrete toxins from your body, which is very beneficial for preventing gout.
