For real health benefits, adults aged 19 to 49 must engage in at least 10 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise. And these sessions should add up to a minimum 150 minutes each week, says the Singapore Health Promotion Board's new National Physical Activity Guidelines. Anything that will cause a noticeable increase in heart rate would contribute to the 150-minute weekly goal.
Of course, Badminton is included (categorized under vigorous intensity exercise). A minute of Vigorous intensity exercise = 2 minutes of moderate intensity exercise. Now you have another good reason to pick up badminton.
