Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze whether there are differences in performance indicators between matches played at different altitudes in professional padel.

Methods: Data were collected and analyzed based on players' sex, set number, and set score using video footage from the World Padel Tour (WPT), including open-access TV broadcasts and WPT's YouTube channel. Performance indicators - such as break points won, errors, winners, and winning smashes - were recorded across 1122 sets (485 matches) from three WPT seasons (2020-2022).

Results: In men's padel, altitude-related differences were observed in break points (P=0.005), break points won (P=0.002), and winners (P=0.002). In women's padel, altitude-related differences were found in break points won (P=0.004), smashes (P<0.001), and winning smashes (P<0.001). Set number and set result were associated with variations in several performance indicators, depending on the tournament's altitude (below or above 500 meters).

Conclusions: These results represent reference data to help players and coaches train according to altitude conditions.

海拔条件对男女职业选手表现的影响。

背景：本研究的目的是分析在职业模式中不同海拔地区的比赛是否存在表现指标的差异。方法：利用WPT （World paddel Tour）的视频片段，包括开放访问的电视转播和WPT的YouTube频道，对球员的性别、套数和计分进行数据收集和分析。表现指标——如破发点、失误、获胜和绝杀——记录了WPT三个赛季（2020-2022）的1122盘（485场）比赛。结果：在男子赛艇中，断裂点（P=0.005）、获胜点（P=0.002）和优胜者（P=0.002）均存在高度相关差异。在女子赛艇中，破发点得分（P=0.004）、扣球得分（P=0.004）存在海拔相关差异。结论：这些结果为运动员和教练员根据海拔条件进行训练提供了参考数据。
