You should not play badminton during your menstrual period. Playing badminton involves running and jumping, which increases the body's oxygen consumption and may lead to abnormal changes in menstrual flow, such as increased or decreased bleeding. Women's resistance decreases during menstruation, so it is important to rest as much as possible and avoid strenuous exercise. If menstrual flow is light, you may engage in gentle exercises such as yoga or calisthenics.
