About Racquetball
Racquetball is a relatively young sport -- it officially debuted in 1969 and grew rapidly in popularity. Today, players around the world enjoy playing racquetball in fully enclosed courts, which allows play all year, even during the hot summer or cold winter months. The racquetball game is intense and fast paced. While focused on the competition, players reap many health benefits. Add court sports to your exercise routine for additional health benefits listed below:

Health benefits of playing racquetball:


  • Fat Reduction
An average racquetball game takes about 20 minutes. In one hour of play, the player runs more than two miles and burns between 600 to 800 calories. Playing racquetball regularly will decrease body fat levels and maintain healthy weight.
  • Cardiovascular Health
During a racquetball game, the player maintains high heart rate levels for a prolonged period, often at a constant rate of 75 to 85 percent of the maximum heart rate, which improves the aerobic capacity. Additionally, the constant quick bursts of energy during quick starts and stops improve the anaerobic capacity.
  • Strength, Coordination, Flexibility
Racquetball works almost every muscle group in the body, especially the larger muscles of the lower body and the core. In addition to building strength and quickness, playing racquetball improves coordination, agility, balance, explosiveness and suppleness.
  • Mental Well-Being
Besides the musculoskeletal benefits, racquetball improves mental clarity and quickness by making quick and strategic decisions. It helps with neural adaptation by stimulating faster connection between brain and muscle movements, which improves a player’s reflexes even off the racquetball court. Hand-eye coordination and eyesight are enhanced as well.
  • Fun Fitness Moves
Racquetball is fun and competitive, and it will make people return to the court as often as they can. A sport you enjoy is a strong lure to get moving on days when you're tempted to skip your fitness regimen. For a competitive game, you have the option to participate in amateur and professional tournaments throughout the entire year.
