Abstract: A better understanding of in-game competition demands potentially improves coaching strategy and quality. However, there is very limited information about game patterns in padel, a very modern racket sport born in the 70'. The purpose of this study was therefore to quantify and classify game dynamics during the match in professional padel players through a multivariate decision tree approach including technical, spatial and effectiveness indicators. The results determined three main game styles strongly define… Show more

“…Table 3 shows the anthropometric characteristics of different racket spots according to performance level and age. With respect to padel players participating in a national university padel championship [5], players in our study were older (31.1 ± 5.7 years vs. 23.1 ± 3.6 years), heavier (77.2 ± 9.9 kg vs. 74.3 ± 8.6 kg), and shorter (177.7 ± 7.3 cm vs. 180.0 ± 10.0 cm). We also found lower values for the thickness of all skinfolds, higher thigh and calf girths (53.9 ± 3.2 cm vs. 52.2 ± 3.6 cm, 37.8 ± 2.3 kg vs. 37.1 ± 1.9 cm, respectively), higher mesomorphic component (5.7±1.2 vs. 4.1 ± 0.9), and similar endomorphic and mesomorphic components (3.7 ± 1.3 vs. 3.7 ± 1.2, 2.0 ± 1.1 vs. 2.4 ± 0.8, respectively).…”

“…A player's height and arm span is highly important in padel. High power is required to successfully bring rallies to a close, with the most powerful plays being found when players hit the ball when it is high above the head, as is often seen in tennis [5]. In this sense, it would be useful for padel players to be tall and of relatively high weight (higher muscle weight, of course) so that they are able to perform very powerful hits, especially when they start a point or when they want to finish it suddenly with a powerful shot (which can sometimes take the ball out of court).…”
