What Stretches Should Squash Players Do?

Squash players should focus on hip flexors, hamstrings, calves, shoulders, and the lower back.

These are the areas most stressed during squash. Hip flexor and hamstring stretches help with the lunging movements required to reach the ball. Calf stretches reduce the risk of Achilles problems. Shoulder stretches maintain the range of motion needed for overhead and backhand shots. Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds after playing, when muscles are warm. Avoid bouncing or forcing a stretch as this increases injury risk. Seek professional advice via a qualified trainer.
