MULLER, Camila Borges  e  VECCHIO, Fabricio Boscolo Del. Physical fitness of amateur paddle tennis players: comparisons between different competitive levels. Motri. [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.4, pp.42-51. ISSN 1646-107X.  https://doi.org/10.6063/motricidade.14602.

Paddle tennis is widely practiced racket sport, although there is scanty data comparing competitive levels and differences between the sexes. Physical fitness of paddle tennis players was compared, according to sex and level. The research involved 35 people (age = 29.6 ± 2.9 years, practice = 6.8 ± 4.9 years), 13 of the first, 15 of the second and 7 of the third category. Traveled distance with Yo-Yo IR1 (YOYOIR1), agility with handball agility specific test (HAST), vertical jump height (VJ) and 3kg medicine ball throwing distance (MBT), and handgrip endurance strength (HES) with dynamometer were measured. The variables YOYOIR1, HAST, VJ, MBT and FIPM were statistically different between sexes. In addition, in the male category, players in the first category had lower heart rate scores after YOYOIR1 as well as distance traveled, throttle and FIPM maximum, while in females the superior category was better in the variables in YOYOIR1 (293±54 m) and VJ (28,4±5,3 cm). On the other hand, in both sexes, players of superior categories presented greater time of practice. Amateur paddle tennis players with a higher competitive level do not present higher physical fitness, but present longer practice time.
