Racquetball

It is a great way to elevate the heart and get a create cardiovascular workout. It is a full-body sport, so it recruites all muscle groups and builds strength, quickness, coordination, agility and balance.

The primary difference between the two games, other than the ball and racket size are: Racquetball is played on a four walled court with no out-of-bounds. Squash has a court boundary along the walls and the “tin” on the front wall [similar to the net in tennis] and the ball has to be hit above it. In racquetball, if you hit the ball low enough on the front wall it is a winner and cannot be returned. In squash, every ball will have a bounce so that there are more opportunities to return more balls. In squash, there are longer rallies than in racquetball and players have to out-maneuver their opponent. It means that more finesse is required in one’s racquet skills in order to play squash.
