i play squash somewhere between 3 and 6 times a week and have done for many many years, to a reasonably high level. i've had various injuries from the game.

squash is known for producing some of the fittest athletes on the planet, there's no other game with the intensity and duration of aerobic workout of high level squash. fitness levels are comparable to boxers.

anyway, point is anybody that exercises regularly becomes fitter, resting heart rate slows down and life expectancy lengthens. for every up there's a down however, and the down is the increased risk of injury. regular squash players can exepect at some later point in life troubles with kness / ankles / hips or ralated matters.

if you are playing and taking blow types injuries then you are not following the rules of the game, a sit down and read session for both players is essential at this stage!

personally i take the enjoyment and fitness and i'll take whatever problems come with it, much the same as taking the enjoyment from riding and the risk that comes with it.

"if you are playing and taking blow types injuries then you are not following the rules of the game,"

I do understand your point but also please understand

Im 6ftplus and 19stone plus and the bloke I play possibly twice a week is a greased weasal !  and one of the fittest people I know !

its a game and we play for fun and a bit of excersise
for me personally if i was to be seroius about it i most likely wouldnt enjoy it !

I would also add some of the most enjoyable things I have done in my life are things I have done in the wrong way !  :lol
