The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution and effectiveness of the different types of smash in professional padel according to the area and direction of the strokes and the gender. Through systematic observation, 1.015 smashes from eight finals (four men's and four women's) of the professional matches were analyzed. The smashes were categorized into four types of smash: tray, flat, topspin and off the wall. The results showed both men's and women's that the tray is the most used smash by padel players, presenting a percentage of point continuity of almost 90%. The flat and topspin smashes are the strokes that achieve the highest percentage of winning points (near 60%), although this efficiency decreases significantly when the players move away from the net area ( < 0.05), especially in the flat smash. Men perform a higher percentage of winning smashes than women, mainly in the flat smash ( = 0.02). Furthermore, with regards to direction, flat and off the wall smashes are predominantly down the line strokes and women perform significantly more cross court topspin smashes than men ( = 0.005). The results shown could be used to design tasks and exercises by padel coaches at professional players.
本研究的目的是根据击球区域和方向以及性别分析职业壁球中不同类型的扣杀的分布和效果。通过系统观察，分析了 8 场职业比赛决赛（4 场男子和 4 场女子）中的 1.015 个扣杀。扣杀分为 tray、flat、topspin 和 off the wall 四种类型。结果表明，无论是男子还是女子，tray 都是壁球运动员最常用的扣杀，其得分连续性百分比接近 90%。flat 和 topspin 扣杀是得分率最高的扣杀（接近 60%），但当球员远离网区时，这种效率会显著下降（<0.05），尤其是 flat 扣杀。男性比女性完成更高比例的制胜扣杀，主要是 flat 扣杀（=0.02）。此外，就方向而言，flat 和 off the wall 扣杀主要是直线球，女性的 cross court topspin 扣杀明显多于男性（=0.005）。这些结果可用于壁球教练为职业球员设计任务和练习。
