MY FAVORITE SPORT: BADMINTON

Hello fellow steemians,
I am very happy for this contest and I am willingly participating in it so that I can also let you know my favorite sport game; it’s origin, rules and benefits to human (it’s participants). It is my favorite game because I used to enjoy playing it back at Senior High School and I have obtained a lot of benefits from it, being social, physical and a whole lot.

DISCRIPTION

A rectangular court that is divided by a net is used to play the racket game of badminton between two opposed players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles). By hitting a shuttlecock with their racket so that it crosses the net and landing in their rivals' half of the court, players get points. A rally is terminated once the shuttlecock touches the ground, and each side may only hit the shuttlecock once until it crosses the net. Sweating while being joyful helps you get healthier.
