This study aimed to examine changes in heart rate variability (HRV) across three match-related time points (pre-match, during the match, and post-match) and to explore whether these physiological responses differed between winners and losers in competitive padel. Twelve matches were analyzed, involving 11 high-level Finnish padel players ranked within the national top 24. HRV was recorded before, during, and immediately after each match, with each measurement lasting a minimum of five min. Time-domain (e.g., SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50), frequency-domain (e.g., LF, HF), and non-linear (e.g., SD1, SD2) HRV metrics were extracted for analysis. All matches took place in Tampere, Finland, under controlled conditions. Results revealed significant intra-match fluctuations in HRV across all domains. Moreover, losing players exhibited consistently higher relative heart rate during the match, suggesting greater physiological strain. This study contributes novel evidence on the dynamic nature of autonomic responses in padel and supports the integration of HRV monitoring in performance and recovery management protocols for high-level athletes.
本研究旨在考察心率变异性（HRV）在三个与比赛相关的时间点（赛前、赛中、赛后）的变化，并探讨在竞技性壁球比赛中，这些生理反应在胜者和败者之间是否存在差异。分析了12场比赛，涉及11名芬兰高水平壁球运动员，他们在全国排名前24。在每场比赛前、比赛期间和比赛结束后立即记录HRV，每次测量持续至少5分钟。提取时域（如SDNN、RMSSD、pNN50）、频域（如LF、HF）和非线性（如SD1、SD2）HRV指标进行分析。所有比赛均在芬兰坦佩雷的可控条件下进行。结果显示，在所有领域，HRV在比赛中均出现显著波动。此外，失利球员在比赛中的相对心率始终较高，表明生理压力更大。本研究为壁球自主反应的动态性质提供了新的证据，并支持将HRV监测纳入高水平运动员的表现和恢复管理方案中。
