    Squash racket sports carry injury risks, with rackets causing most injuries. Higher-level players face greater risks in this popular racket sport.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Squash is a dynamic sport with inherent risks of player injury.
    • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for player safety and sport development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the incidence and causes of eye, face, and head injuries in professional squash.
    • To identify risk factors associated with injuries in squash players.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 10,658 squash matches from the 1979 season.
    • Data collected on 1327 male and female players, recording 64 injury cases.
    • Injury causes categorized as racket contact or ball contact.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 64 injuries were reported, with 83% attributed to racket impact and 12.5% to ball contact.

  • The overall risk of injury across all matches was 6.5%.
  • A higher incidence of injuries was observed in top-tier professional divisions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Racket-related incidents are the primary cause of head, face, and eye injuries in squash.
    • Professional squash players, particularly in higher divisions, experience a greater risk of injury.
    • Implementing safety measures targeting racket interactions may reduce injury rates.
