A HISTORICAL RECOVERY OF BADMINTON
FROM ASIA TO BRAZIL
Resumo
Badminton is an Olympic and Paralympic sport. The main characteristic of badminton is to hit a shuttlecock using a racket towards the opponent's court, with the aim of causing the opponent's error. The sport was created in India and although it was popularized in England, the Asian continent is a powerhouse in the sport. Currently, Brazil seeks to expand its presence in the sport. Knowledge of the sport and its history could be central to the development of sport in our country. Thus, the objective of the current study is to carry out a narrative literature review, with a qualitative approach and exploratory objectives, in order to understand, demystify, and propagate the history of Badminton, from its creation to its development in Brazil. The following databases were searched: Periódico Capes, Scielo, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations and Scholar Google, the Journal of Sport History and official websites. Several publications were found, between 1930 and 2022, from which the following information was extracted; historical information on the sport and its global development, the spaces used for its practice, the evolution of equipment, and its main competitions. There is a prevalence of studies published in American journals, and a gap in publications on the history of badminton in Brazil.
