Squash has been rated as the top sport in a survey of the 'Ten Healthiest sports' published by respected US magazine Forbes.
Writer Neal Santelmann explains that "each of these sporting activities is a great way to get fit-and keep you there." He also points out to those sho plan to try these sports that the list is "best pursued with calculated abandon to reduce their risk of injury, as well as in cross-training combinations to cover all of the basic physiological components."
Scores were tallied to arrive at an individual rating for each sport. "Of course," added Santelmann, "physiological benefits, injury risks and calorie burn can vary and enthusiasm with wich you pursue the sport."
The citation for Squash - which scores an overal score of 22.5, ahead of Rowing with 22.0 - reads: "The preferred game of Wall Street has convenience on its side, as 30 minutes on the Squash Court provides an impressive cardio respiratory workout. Extended rallies and almost constant running builds muscular strength and endurance in the lower body, while lunges, twists and turns increase flexibility in the back and abdomen. "For people just getting into the game, it's almost too much to sustain, but once you get there, squash is tremendous,: says Paul Assaiante, head coach of the five time defending national intercollegiate champion men's squash team at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. Assaiante recommends a regimen of yoga, sprinting and distance running for preparation.
The ten sports highlighted in the Forbes survey (in final rating order) were: Squash, Rowing, Rock Climbing, Swimming, Cross-Country Skiing, Basketball, Cycling, Running, Modern Pentathlon and Boxing.
