Abstract
Padel has experienced exponential growth in recent years and has become one of the most popular racket sports the world, together with the resulting increase in injuries. The aim of this research was to carry out a literature review in order to ascertain the physical, technical and tactical requirements of padel, as well as its injury incidence. A narrative review was conducted by searching for open-access articles in PubMed, Scopus and WOS in November-December 2023. The terms used for the search equation were “Padel” OR “Paddel” AND “Performance” OR “Incidence”, with a three-year timeframe, in the English, Spanish and Portuguese languages, as well as any other language that can be translated through DeepL or another free translating tool. Nine articles were included—four of them delve into the incidence, prevalence and nature of the injuries; three on the physical, technical and tactical requirements; one on physiological requirements; three on injury risks; one on strength and fitness programs; another one identifies the potential role of padel as a strategy for promoting physical fitness and health, and two articles carry out an analysis of the distribution and effectiveness of the various types of hits or smashes in padel, which coaches of professional players could use to design tasks and exercises. The conclusion is that the description of the performance requirements and injury incidence in padel is available to be used for improvement of the players. Future research ought to focus on programs for injury prevention.
