The History And Current State Of Veterans Badminton Development

Abstract

Veteran sport is an attractive and emotional phenomenon and most importantly involves participation in competitions. Maybe in the beginning it's just participation, not victory, but later the struggle for progress necessarily begins, veterans try to the achieve new sport results in their age categories. Participation in competitions, competitive activities become a target factor and a significant additional motivation for further training. For some athletes it is a partial return to youth, for others it is pleasure or the possibility of self-affirmation. But for most veteran sports including badminton this is a meeting of like-minded people, a purposeful, disciplining lifestyle, which gives optimism and confidence, encourages creative selfimprovement, but instead it brings a sense of satisfaction, reliability, spiritual freedom, a successful solution to many everyday problems. Veteran sport improves the quality of life, gives free time from professional and domestic activities.
