Marked by a fast pace of living, industrialization and urbanization, population numbers in small areas have exploded. Space is at a premium, and difficult to attain. Many studies have indicated that among the obstacles to participating in leisure activities faced by the urban population, space and traffic are significant factors. This study proposes the use of an innovative new version of badminton, tailored to the needs of an urbanized society. Requiring less space and easily operated, ‘adapted badminton’ would be easy to promote. The methodology of this study was active in nature and involved, among other things, questionnaires designed to gauge and understand all aspects of the participants’ feedback and senses, and to probe the hypothesis proposed in the study itself. The findings of the study conclude that participating in adapted badminton has a positive influence on the senses prior to, during and post activity. It also positively contributes towards an enhanced attention span in class on behalf of its participants. This study’s findings also show some interesting correlations. For example there is a medium level correlation between adapted badminton and the low availability of badminton halls in urbanized society. There is also a medium level correlation with the finding of competitive peers to play against, and traffic issues. Finally, this study will show a high level of correlation between this new game and the fact that it is easy to play.
