The Holistic Badminton for Health Framework: A Document Synthesis and Conceptual Proposal for Lifelong Health Promotion
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This conceptual review aims to (1) synthesize knowledge on health promotion through physical activity and badminton, (2) propose the Holistic Badminton for Health (HBH) Framework integrating physical, psychological, social, and intellectual health, and (3) suggest applications in the Thai context. A qualitative document analysis was employed to synthesize policy documents, professional guidance, and relevant Thai- and English-language research. The resulting HBH Framework comprises three conceptual and policy foundations, four health dimensions, six HEALTH guiding principles, and three application levels: individual, organizational, and community/policy. The framework offers a preliminary basis for research design, physical education instruction, training programs, and badminton-based health promotion. However, the quality of the framework’s components and the relationships among them should be empirically validated before its broader implementation.
