Though squash as a game is not part of the Olympics, it’s played all over the world. It’s famous mostly among the elite class as most of the courts are inside five-star hotels or expensive sports clubs that are not accessible for the common people of India. Nevertheless, the game is very demanding and requires a lot of energy and stamina to play. Squash provides an excellent cardiovascular workout. Players can expend approximately 600 to 1,000 food calories (3,000 to 4,000 KJ) every hour playing squash according to English or Hi-Ho scoring. The sport also provides a good upper and lower body workout by exercising both the legs in running around the court and the arms and torso in swinging the racket. In 2003, Forbes rated squash as the number one healthiest sport to play.
Squash is an intense game, you need energy and hydration all along to play the game. While playing there is a loss of glycogen stores, and there is muscle damage too. Athletes need BCAA to prevent depletion of glycogen stores and muscle damage.BCAAs have an insulin-like effect on glucose, causing a reduction in glucose levels. BCAAs that are ingested before exercise can be oxidised by skeletal muscle and used as energy during the exercise, reducing the need for the liver to increase levels of glycogenolysis. Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are three essential amino acids which are grouped as Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA). The amino plays a role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, muscle soreness and fatigue.
