Training and Tips
Most of the current racquetball pro's interviewed recommend playing or practicing for one hour per/day. The majority of the professional augment their practice and play time with other routines. Some practice more than they play and others play more than they practice. It is really up to each individual and how it best fits their schedule.
For instance E-Force professional Tim Doyle recommends sticking to a consistent routine, focusing on explosive type strength-training exercise. He rotates his strength workouts into lower body one day and upper body the next. He recommends exercise repetitions for exercise of 12 to 30 of two or three sets. This strength program allows your body to build strength and stamina.
Tim believes playing racquetball only gives you a base fitness level.
To achieve maximum potential, racquetball requires short bursts of power movements over a one to two hour period. Use ply-metrics; speed, agility and quickness drills; medicine balls and balance drills to achieve maximum improvement levels. I believe that when you are training for racquetball you need to combine training variables of strength, flexibility and fitness.
