When people mention “squash”, the first thing that crosses their mind is a vegetable that comes in different shapes and proportions. But the name “squash” also stands for the racket sport that is played by two or four players, depending if you are playing singles or doubles, in a specially constructed court by the rules of the World Squash Federation. Its popularity is in constant growth especially because it is very cheap, suitable for everyone, both amateurs and professionals. Because of its dynamics and quickness, a player can burn a significant amount of calories in a very short time period. It is popular almost everywhere in the world and the number of registered professional and recreation players is in constant growth. It is certainly an activity to recommend because of its health benefits. Squash is attempting to become an Olympic sport. It is a sport that has a bright future ahead.
