“…This consequently lengthens rallies so the number of actions and strokes per player is higher in comparison with similar racket sports like badminton, tennis, or squash [2]. Previous studies examining its game dynamics and match activity have defined padel as a high-intensity intermittent activity, which combines high-frequency (0.7-1.5 per second (s)) and low-intensity actions during rallies that are of a moderate duration (9-15 s), interspersed by 1020 s of rest in between, leading to longer breaks of 90 s [3][4][5][6][7]. Offensive success in padel relies on the use of volleys and smashing actions.…”

The aims of this study were to describe and compare the anthropometric and physical fitness attributes of male padel players according to their competitive level, and to establish a functional anthropometric and physical profile. A total of 60 males participated in the present study. Athletes were grouped according to competition level, forming an elite group (n = 25) and a subelite group (n = 35). Anthropometric variables, hand grip and lumbar isometric strength, flexibility, and lower-body muscular strength were measured. Elite padel players were significantly older and showed significantly lower values for the thigh and calf skinfolds, the sum of six and eight skinfolds, and the sum of lower-limb skinfolds than the subelite group. Elite padel players also had significantly lower values than subelite players for body fat percentage and thigh fat area, whilst showing significantly higher values for lumbar isometric strength. Somatotype of the elite padel players could be defined as endo-mesomorphic. Results suggest that training and talent identification of padel players should focus on their anthropometric characteristics and physical fitness, with these being different between elite and subelite athletes. Normative data could help coaches throughout the talent identification process and in the design of training programs when seeking to optimise sports performance.

“…Activity patterns have been extensively studied in racket sports such as badminton (Abian-Vicen, Castanedo, Abian, & Sampedro, 2013;Cabello-Manrique & Gonzalez-Badillo, 2003), squash (Girard, et al, 2007), paddle tennis (Carrasco, Romero, Sañudo, & De Hoyo, 2011), table tennis (Zagatto, Morel, & Gobatto, 2010), and tennis (Fernandez-Fernandez, Sanz-Rivas, & Mendez-Villanueva, 2009a;Kovacs, 2004;O'Donoghue & Ingram, 2001). Adapted racket sports have also been studied, yet to a lesser extent.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to compare activity patterns between male and female wheelchair tennis (WT) matches. Sixteen singles international WT matches (eight male and eight female) were analysed. Each match was recorded and analysed according to the following variables: total match time (minutes), total set time (minutes), effective playing time (%), total resting time (%), working time:resting time ratio (W:R), resting time between points (seconds), rally duration (seconds), points per set, shots per set, shots per rally, bounces per point, and time between shots (seconds). Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare between the genders and Wilcoxon test was used to compare variables with the type of point (non-game point opportunity -NGO, and game point opportunity -GO). Female matches showed higher values (p<.05) in rally duration, bounces per point, and frequency of shots than male matches. Both genders spent more time between points in GO than in NGO situation. The findings indicate that male and female players play in a different way, and these differences should be taken into consideration by the WT coaches.

“…2 For the analysis of the game, the studies have analysed the most frequent beatings in the competition 15 which are the auction and the deep and crossed balloon. Another aspect to analyse is the temporal structure in which all authors conclude that it is an intermittent sport where rest time is higher than that of play.…”

The paddle is a sport with great social impact in Spanish speaking countries. It is a physical activity of shovel and ball with a common origin to the rest of the most popular racket sports. It has a great socializing power so it is situated between one of the seven most practiced sports and the fourth with more federative licenses in Spain. Its field with reduced measures (20x10) and that the development of the game is in pairs makes it a relatively easy sport to practice. The objective of this work is to gather information to analyze the characteristics and aspects of this sport. In conclusion, a synthesis of the information obtained is provided.
