Playing badminton is a powerful investment in your overall well-being. Here’s how getting involved with a shuttlecock can benefit you:
Boosts Physical Health: Regular play improves heart health, increases lung capacity (VO2 Max), lowers resting heart rate, and helps maintain a healthy body. It can even help prevent the progression of myopia in children.
