Squash is a competitive sport that tests players' talent, quickness, strategy, mental toughness, and physical stamina. It has been named the top healthy sport by Forbes Magazine and is highly good for physical fitness and health.

Squash is a sport that everyone can enjoy because it has many health advantages and can be played year-round, in all types of weather, and by players of any skill level.

A player can use more energy in squash than in most other sports. Improved cardiovascular health is a benefit of squash. You can build strength and fitness by running, leaping, and diving for the ball during squash, and it also helps to keep a healthy weight.
