Badminton: Playing well will help you have a good figure and good eyesight

Playing badminton makes people "quick-eyed and quick-handed"

Playing badminton can make people develop "quick eyes and quick hands" for a simple reason. When playing, both players have to frequently observe the opponent's racket swinging posture and the high-speed flying badminton. The eyes closely follow the high-speed flying object, and the ciliary muscles of the eyes will constantly contract and relax, greatly promoting the blood circulation of the eye tissue, thereby improving the function of the ciliary muscles. Long-term exercise can improve a person's visual acuity and the reaction ability of the eyes.

For ordinary badminton enthusiasts, especially the middle-aged and elderly people and those who overuse their eyes, if they can persist in playing badminton, their visual sensitivity will be significantly improved.

Playing badminton strengthens your heart and helps you lose weight

Playing badminton requires athletes to constantly move their feet, jump, turn and swing their rackets on the court. It is a whole-body exercise. Therefore, it can increase the strength of the upper limbs, lower limbs and waist muscles, speed up the exerciser's blood circulation throughout the body, and enhance the functions of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. According to statistics, the heart rate of high-intensity badminton players can reach 160~180 beats per minute, the heart rate of moderate-intensity players can reach 140~150 beats per minute, and the heart rate of low-intensity players can reach 100~130 beats per minute.

Long-term badminton exercise can make your heartbeat stronger and more powerful, and increase your lung capacity. At the same time, badminton is also suitable for people who want to lose weight. In badminton, you need to constantly use the strength of your wrist and arm to hold and swing the racket, and you also need to fully move your ankle joints, knee joints, shoulder joints, hip joints and other parts, so it is a good exercise for the muscles and joints of the whole body.

Moreover, in the process of picking up and catching the ball, you will constantly bend over and raise your head, which also fully exercises the muscles in your waist and abdomen. If you keep playing badminton for a period of time, you will find that your body becomes slimmer, your muscles become firmer, and your physical strength improves.
