Abstract

A comparison of the dynamic motions of squash players of differing technical capacities involved relating them to strategies used by different standard players. Provincial and Elite players showed lesser accelerations and velocities at the end of winning rallies than at the end of losing rallies. Difference in accelerations while winning or losing were absent for recreational players. Longitudinal movement was solely responsible for the differences observed in the overall velocity.
