To quantify match load associated with padel and compare responses with both singles and doubles tennis.
On separate days, 12 participants (7 men and 5 women) played 60-minute padel (PADEL), singles tennis (SINGLES), and doubles tennis (DOUBLES) simulated games. Participants wore a 10-Hz GPS/100-Hz triaxial accelerometer unit and heart-rate monitor. Exercise-related sensations and blood lactate concentration were monitored every 20 minutes. Match-play characteristics (temporal structure) and shot selection were derived from video analysis. Vertical jump ability was assessed before and after each game.
Heart rate, exercise-related sensations (overall perceived exertion and limb discomfort), and physical load (total distance covered, PlayerLoad, acceleration density and load) for SINGLES were higher compared with DOUBLES and PADEL (all P ≤ .05). Blood lactate concentrations remained low (1-2 mmol·L-1) and did not differ between conditions. Effective playing time (P < .001) was lower in SINGLES and DOUBLES compared with PADEL. The number of forehands (P = .002) and backhands (P < .001) was greater for SINGLES than for DOUBLES and PADEL. The number of volleys/smashes and lobs (P < .05) was greater for PADEL compared with SINGLES and DOUBLES. Performance for squat, countermovement, and multirebound jumps was similarly reduced below baseline after match play (P < .05), independent of condition.
Padel imposes a unique match load on players that is different from singles tennis and more closely resembles that of doubles tennis. Cardiovascular stimulation and physical load are highest in singles tennis, while padel sees players hit a larger variety of shots with higher effective playing percentages.
量化壁球运动中的匹配负荷，并与单打和双打网球进行比较。
在不同的日子里，12 名参与者（7 名男性和 5 名女性）进行了 60 分钟的壁球（PADEL）、单打网球（SINGLES）和双打网球（DOUBLES）模拟比赛。参与者佩戴了一个 10Hz GPS/100Hz 三轴加速度计单元和心率监测器。每 20 分钟监测一次与运动相关的感觉和血乳酸浓度。从视频分析中得出比赛特点（时间结构）和击球选择。在每次比赛前后评估垂直跳跃能力。
与 DOUBLES 和 PADEL 相比，SINGLES 的心率、与运动相关的感觉（整体感觉用力和肢体不适）和体力负荷（总距离、PlayerLoad、加速度密度和负荷）更高（均 P ≤.05）。血乳酸浓度仍然较低（1-2mmol·L-1），且在不同条件下无差异。与 PADEL 相比，SINGLES 和 DOUBLES 的有效比赛时间（P <.001）较低。与 DOUBLES 和 PADEL 相比，SINGLES 的正手（P =.002）和反手（P <.001）击球次数更多。与 SINGLES 和 DOUBLES 相比，PADEL 的截击/扣杀和高吊球（P <.05）次数更多。比赛后，深蹲、反向动作和多反弹跳的表现都明显低于基线（P <.05），与条件无关。
壁球对运动员施加了独特的比赛负荷，与单打网球不同，更类似于双打网球。心血管刺激和体力负荷在单打网球中最高，而壁球则让运动员打出更多不同类型的球，有效比赛百分比更高。
