techniques. She was qualified to represent the country during the 2001 ASEAN

Table tennis is important in our day to day activities because it is a great cardio workout and
good for muscle development, but to improve your strength and stamina you need to add more
exercise. After regular and frequent exercise you will look and feel better and want to start
increasing your table tennis game level, running times and weights in the gym. Some of the
many health benefits of table tennis include improving hand-eye coordination. An intense game
of table tennis stimulates mental alertness and concentration and develops mental acuity.

Improving reflexes. Apart from encouraging the development of fine and gross motor skills,
agility, endurance, and hand-eye coordination, as almost all sports do, individual sports combine
physical fitness with mental development, Kraft says.

These benefits are what Judy enjoying even she is 60 years old. She benefit a lot from playing
table tennis on her young age. She can still execute extreme smashing still great as before
because at her young age she took care of her body by playing table tennis. Playing table tennis
and other sports are important in our day to day activities because it is a good exercise for our
body internally and externally. One of the ways to get fit is to play table tennis as it gives you a

Activity 2 ASSESS YOUR KNOWLEDGE

1. What do you think is/are the benefit/s you can get in playing badminton game?

Answer:

I think the benefits we can get in playing badminton can have a number of positive health and
fitness benefits on your body such as develops the strength and power of muscles, notably leg
and arm muscles and Improves aerobic fitness, with more oxygen circulated around the body to
increase muscular endurance. It’s great for conditioning the body and offers a great way to meet
new people. In addition, it improves our muscle strength and heart functioning, it helps to reduce
stress, improves our flexibility, boost our metabolism rate, strengthen our bone, improves our
mental agility, and helps social being.

2. In a formal game, why badminton game can’t be played outside or in the field?

Answer:

Formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court. It can’t be played outside or in the field
due to the reason that it is unfortunately an indoor sport at the moment. There are no heavier
shuttles where you can buy. If you add weight to the shuttlecock, it will probably not fly. So there
is really no way to enjoy a professional game of badminton outdoors. Meaning, if we play
badminton outside or in the field the wind might blow the shuttlecock. That’s the reason why
formal game of badminton can’t be played outside.

3. In your opinion, is it really matter to execute proper holding of the shaft in the
badminton? Why or why not.

Answer:

In my opinion, it is really matter to execute proper holding of the shaft in the badminton because
a good badminton game starts with how you handle your racket which is the most important
basic step. A good grip on badminton rackets can reduce injuries, increase the range of shots
and make better hits.

which is a sports play using a racket to hit shuttlecock across the net. It was also stated there

facilities of it. Those are the racket, shuttlecock, and net. Badminton facilities, the badminton
court should be 44 ft. long by 22 ft. width if the player double and 44ft. long by 17 ft. width for
