Is Weight Training Good for Squash Players?

YES, weight training improves strength, power, and injury resistance for squash players.

Squash requires explosive leg power, upper body stability, and core strength. Weight training that targets these areas, such as squats, lunges, rows, and core exercises, will directly improve your on-court performance. Focus on compound movements rather than isolated muscle exercises. Two sessions per week is enough for most club players. Avoid heavy training on match days or the day before important matches.
