The game of squash also encompasses plyometric exercises which are aimed at reducing the amount of time spent on the ground preparing to move, with the primary emphasis of most exercises focused upon vertical and forward motion.

In a game, the next movement could be in the same direction or in an infinite number of possible directions. The game of squash and its training drills hinges on eliciting a plyometric based stretch shortening cycle but then using this stimulus to isolate the multidirectional foot patterns specific to squash. To recreate “game play”, each drill mirrors a movement on court and as such is performed over short distances focusing on the development of both linear and lateral movements. To maintain your new found flexibility and reduce the risk of injury, it is highly recommended that you engage in a stretching routine of your major muscle groups before and after your game.
