El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el tipo de acciones de subida a la red y su eficacia en función del nivel de competición y el contexto de juego en pádel. Se analizaron un total de 416 acciones de intercambio de posiciones (del fondo a la red) pertenecientes a 14 partidos de torneos masculinos: ocho finales del circuito profesional World Pádel Tour (WPT) y seis finales de un torneo de la Primera Categoría Federada Extremeña (CEP). De cada acción de intercambio, se analizó el tipo de golpeo previo a la subida de la red en zona defensiva distinguiendo entre el uso o no de globos. Se utilizaron regresiones logísticas binarias y el análisis de clasificación en árbol (CHAID) para determinar un modelo predictor del uso y la eficacia de las acciones para subir a la red. Los principales resultados muestran una prevalencia significativa en el uso del globo frente a otras acciones técnicas (60.6% vs. 39.4%), aumentando además la probabilidad de continuidad del punto (65.9% vs. 47.0%). No se encontraron influencias en las variables contextuales sobre el tipo de acción de subida a la red. Sin embargo, el análisis CHAID clasificó por orden de importancia las variables más influyentes en las acciones de subida a la red, sirviendo de guía para estudios futuros.Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyse the use and effectiveness of actions to approach net in padel, based on competition level and game context. A total of 416 rallies (from baseline to net) were recorded from14 male matches: eight finals of World Padel Tour (WTP) tournaments and six championship matches of the Extremadura Padel Federation first category (CEP) circuit. The analysis included baseline shots performed before approaching the net, categorizing them depending on the use/non-use of lobs. Binary logistic regression and tree classification analyses (CHAID) were used to predict the use and effectiveness of the actions carried out to approach the net. Main results revealed a significant prevalence of lobs compared to other types of shots (60.6 % vs. 39.4%); further, performing lobs increased the likelihood of continuity of rallies (65.9% vs. 47.0%). No influences of game contextual variables were observed. CHAID analysis provided with a ranking of variables that influence the most the action of approaching the net, which could represent a useful guideline for future studies.
ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las variables temporales de tiempo de juego (TJ), tiempo de descanso (TD) en pádel de primera categoría regional y su relación entre ellas, así como con la variable contextual duración del set. Para ello se analizaron 701 puntos correspondientes a semifinales y finales de diferentes pruebas del circuito extremeño federado de primera categoría masculina celebrados en 2014. El análisis de las variables temporales corrobora que el pádel es un deporte donde el TD predomina frente al TJ, obteniendo un tiempo real de juego del 45,92 % sobre el tiempo total; un TJ medio por punto de 12,70 segundos y TD medio por punto de 14,95 segundos. Se encontraron relaciones significativas (p < 0,05) entre las variables tiempo de descanso y número de juego del set. Finalmente, se puede concluir que el TD está más influenciado por la duración del set que el TJ, siendo mayor a medida que avanza el set. Palabras clave: pádel, análisis del rendimiento, variables contextuales Abstract Influence of Set Duration on Time Variables in Paddle Tennis MatchesThe aim of this research was to analyze play time (PT) and break time (BT) in first division paddle tennis matches and the relationship between them as well as the set duration contextual variable. To do this we examined 701 points in semifinals and finals in men's top flight paddle tennis events on the Extremadura circuit in 2014. The analysis of the time variables confirms that paddle tennis is a sport in which BT predominates over PT. Total in-play time was 45.92% of total time; average PT per point was 12.70 seconds and the average BT per point was 14.95 seconds. Significant relationships (p<0.05) were found between the break time and number of the game in the set variables. To conclude, it was found that BT is more influenced by the duration of the set than PT as it increases the longer the set goes on.
physical activity provides benefits in aspects such as body composition, and cardio-respiratory function.
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la composición corporal y el somatotipo en jugadores de pádel en función de la categoría de juego. La muestra incluyó a 40 jugadores masculinos de pádel distribuidos en 2 grupos: 20 jugadores de primera categoría (alto nivel, edad: 28.3 ± 8.3 años) y 20 de tercera categoría (bajo nivel, edad: 30.5 ± 7.5 años). Se tomaron medidas de peso, altura, pliegues, diámetros y perímetros para determinar la composición corporal y somatotipo. Los jugadores de bajo nivel (tercera categoría) mostraron un mayor IMC (23.8 ± 2.4 vs 25.7 ± 2.3 kg/m2) y mayores valores de pliegues abdominal y subescapular, en comparación con los de alto nivel (p <.05). Por el contrario, los jugadores de primera categoría presentaron mayor porcentaje muscular y menor porcentaje graso en comparación con los jugadores de tercera categoría, resultando en un somatotipo ectomorfo de los jugadores de alto nivel (p <.05). En conclusión, los jugadores de pádel presentan unas características antropométricas y de somatotipo diferentes según la categoría de juego, con una notable mejor composición corporal en los jugadores de mayor nivel. Abstract. This study aimed to analyse the body composition and somatotype in padel players according to their playing category. The sample comprised 40 male padel players divided into two groups: 20 players of first category (high level, age: 28.3 ± 8.3 years) and 20 padel player of third category (low level, age: 30.5 ± 7.5 years). Weight, height, skin folds, diameters and perimeters were measured to determine the body composition and somatotype. Low level players showed higher BMI (23.8 ± 2.4 vs 25.7 ± 2.3 kg/m2) and higher abdominal and subscapular skin folds compared to high level players (p < .05). On the other hand, the first category players had higher muscle mass and lower fat percentages than third category players, resulting in an ectomorphic somatotype in high level players (p <.05). In conclusion, padel players present different anthropometric characteristics and somatotype regarding their level of play, with a notably better body composition in players from a higher level.
The purpose of this study was to detect the reasons why regular players practice paddle tennis. A total of 77 participants (43 men and 34 women) from the Autonomous Community of Extremadura (Spain) were surveyed. The validated Spanish version of the revised Motives for Physical Activity Measure (MPAM-R) was used. Calculations were performed to compare means through a one-factor ANOVA to study differences within each gender, and the Student t-test was used to ascertain the differences between men and women. The results reveal differences in the reasons for practicing paddle tennis within females in relation to the age range, practice time, days of practice and level of play. What stand out are the high scores given to competition (F = 8.677; R 2 adj = 0.48) and the social aspect (F = 4.253; R 2 adj = 0.28) in women over the age of 40, and to fitness/health in players who have been practicing between 6 months and three years (F = 23.553; R 2 adj = 0.73). Differences were also found between men and women, and the differences in the reasons why practitioners with less than 6 months of experience play are particularly prominent. These results provide relevant information on the reasons why people practice paddle tennis and can be useful when developing action plans that encourage adherence to the sport, improved health and quality of life, preventing the abandonment of physical activity and sedentarism, particularly in adults over the age of 35.
