What are the benefits of practicing squash?

　　You can often see friends practicing tennis facing the wall beside some tall buildings. The real squash sport originated in the United States in 1936 and evolved from tennis. It is also called squash tennis and is currently very popular in Europe and the United States.

　　Squash, as the name suggests, is hitting the ball while facing the wall. It is characterized by hitting the ball toward the wall "facing the wall" in a closed space, and then hitting the ball again after rebounding. This sport can be divided into British and American squash. British squash has a longer racket and a harder ball. ； American squash is dominated by short rackets and soft balls.

　　The venue for squash is very special. The singles court is 9.75 meters long, 6.40 meters wide and 4.57 meters high.； The doubles court is larger than the singles court. It is enclosed on all sides. The walls on all sides must be smooth and white or light in color. The handle on the entry door at the back of the court cannot be convex to avoid affecting the rebound direction of the ball. Players only need to prepare their rackets and balls and put on their sneakers to start playing. Sports formats can be divided into singles, doubles, and four-person doubles.

　　The rules of squash are very simple. When serving, the server must let the ball bounce against the front wall in the service area before hitting the ball. However, the landing point of the rebound must exceed the center line to be considered successful. Otherwise, if the ball fails twice in a row, the right to serve will be lost. After the ball is served, the opponent can catch the ball and counterattack before it hits the ground or after it hits the ground once. The ball can only be considered successful if it touches the wall more than once. Only those who have the right to serve can score, and the first to score 2 points is the winner. If the team receiving the ball wins, they get the right to serve. Usually a "best of five" or "best of three" system is adopted.

　　Squash is an indoor sport and is not as affected by the weather as outdoor tennis. Moreover, practicing in a closed environment is conducive to concentration and full concentration. Therefore, the leisure effect is quite good. Another charm of squash lies in its small venue, fast ball speed and unpredictable ball path, which can fully exercise Your quick reaction ability and adaptability require players to have sufficient physical strength and endurance to adapt to the fast-moving ball.
