| Abstract. | Badminton, as a highly accessible and dynamic sport, can respond to multiple educational needs, contributing significantly to the formation of motor skills and to the development of intellectual and socio-emotional competences. The aim of the paper is to analyze the influence of practicing badminton on physical parameters, such as speed, coordination and endurance, as well as cognitive skills, such as concentration, strategic thinking, emotional and mental balance. The hypothesis of the paper hypothesizes that the implementation of a badminton-based program in physical education lessons for 6th and 7th grade students will have a significant impact on improving physical and cognitive performance, while contributing to the development of social skills. Objectives of the paper: to evaluate the impact of the badminton program on the physical and cognitive skills of students; to evaluate the students’ perception of the impact of the badminton program on their physical and cognitive skills; to analyze the differences between the experimental and control groups. Integrating this sport into the educational program can support the formation of a healthy lifestyle, promoting regular physical activity and reducing the risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle. |
