Squash is a ball game, which has the characteristics of all-weather playing, strong exercise intensity, being suitable for all ages, easy to learn and interesting. Playing squash regularly is good for physical and mental health. However, in China, squash is always a minority sport, and fewer people play it. The main reasons are limited venues, public awareness of squash and the diversion of competitors such as tennis and badminton. Let's take a closer look.
What are the main characteristics of squash?
Squash is a competitive sport. In a fenced court, according to certain rules, opponents use rackets to hit their opponents' rebound balls on the wall. The characteristics of squash mainly include:
1, indoor sports, not limited by seasons and weather, are all-weather sports.
2. The squash court is small, the ball speed is fast, the ball path is unpredictable, and people are required to react quickly and move quickly, so the intensity and exercise of squash are great.
3. squash is suitable for all ages. Squash is played in a wide range of ages, ranging from children to the elderly, but it is more suitable for young people to participate.
4. Squash is easy to learn. For non-professional athletes, you can practice on the court with a little understanding of the basic rules and essentials, while those who have played badminton and tennis are easier to get started.
Squash is entertaining, interesting and recreational, and can be played in singles or doubles. Because squash has many lines and tactical combinations, it is also very competitive.
Second, why do few people play squash?
1. One of the main reasons for the small squash population is the lack of venues and equipment. The number of squash courts in the city is very limited and the price is high, which directly affects and limits the participation of squash.
2. The public's ignorance of squash is also a major reason for the lack of squash players. Since entering China, squash has often set up the image of "aristocratic sport" in front of the public, which seems to be a sport that only the rich can afford, which seems a bit unattainable.
Squash itself has competitors. Squash is not as advanced as badminton and tennis. Although it has the title of "king of indoor sports", most people prefer the other two sports.
Based on the above three reasons, it is normal that there are fewer people playing squash, but with the improvement of people's living standards and the normalization of squash cognition, I believe more people will play squash in the future.
