Quarter 2 – Module 4: Moderate to
Vigorous
Physical Activities - Badminton
Badminton
In physical education, increasing MVPA has
the greatest potential for increasing health
benefits for most students as it generates more
energy expenditure; contributes to obesity
prevention and muscular and bone development;
reduces anxiety and stress; improves self-esteem,
mood and concentration; and reduces the risk of
chronic disease.
This lesson will lead you to the importance of
engaging in moderate to vigorous physical
activities (MVPAs)

added to the traditional English game of
battledore and shuttlecock.
• As it was popular in the British garrison town
of Poona, the game came to be known as
"Poona" or "Poonai"
How did it
begin?
• Woolen balls were preferred by the upper classes in

shuttlecocks took over the role of a "ball." This
game was taken by retired officers who got back to
England.

• A badminton game scores to 21 points.
Badminton matches are the best-of-three
games.
• At the beginning of the badminton game and

number, servers serve the shuttle over the net
to the opposing player from the right side of
the court. Servers serve the shuttle over the
net from the left side of the court when their
