Abstract

A statistical collection of squash injuries in 8000 players from 30 squash centers in the Federal Republic of Germany over a 12 months period is presented and evaluated. The comparison with other types of sport shows squash to be sooner likely to cause injuries than tennis, but to entail essentially less injuries than e.g. football (soccer) or handball. With a view to prevention, certain demands must be made on the player as regards his manner of playing and equipment, but also as regards the ground conditions of squash halls.
