British success at recent Olympics in London and then Rio has put the sport in the spotlight and highlighted the benefits of playing. Badminton can be played in various formats and the main ones are singles, doubles and mixed matches. Most games are either an hour or 40 minutes to give players a real workout as an alternative to visiting the gym.
