The purpose of this study was to measure heart rate, activity intensity, and steps in recreational singles and doubles pickleball players. We collected data in 22 singles and 31 doubles players (62.1 ± 9.7 years of age) using Garmin Fenix 5 watches (Garmin International, Inc.) and ActiGraph GT3X+ (ActiGraph LLC) accelerometers. Mean heart rates during singles and doubles were 111.6 ± 13.5 and 111.5 ± 16.2 beats/min (70.3% and 71.2% of predicted maximum heart rate), respectively. Over 70% of singles and doubles playing time was categorized in moderate to vigorous heart rate zones whereas 80.5% of singles time and 50.4% of doubles time were moderate based on Freedson accelerometer cut-points. Steps per hour were higher in singles versus doubles (3,322 ± 493 vs. 2,791 ± 359), t(51) = 4.540, p < .001. Singles and doubles pickleball are moderate- to vigorous-intensity activities that can contribute substantially toward older adults meeting physical activity guidelines.
本研究旨在测量娱乐性单打和双打壁球运动员的心率、活动强度和步数。我们使用 Garmin Fenix 5 手表（Garmin International，Inc.）和 ActiGraph GT3X+（ActiGraph LLC）加速度计收集了 22 名单打运动员和 31 名双打运动员（62.1±9.7 岁）的数据。单打和双打时的平均心率分别为 111.6±13.5 和 111.5±16.2 次/分钟（分别为预测最大心率的 70.3%和 71.2%）。超过 70%的单打和双打比赛时间被归类为中高强度心率区，而根据 Freedson 加速度计切点，80.5%的单打时间和 50.4%的双打时间为中等强度。每小时的步数在单打中高于双打（3322±493 与 2791±359），t（51）=4.540，p<0.001。单打和双打壁球是中高强度的活动，可以为老年人达到身体活动指南做出很大贡献。
