Abstract
Existe un reciente interés en el pádel, dado su importante crecimiento en España los últimos años. No obstante, la información acerca del perfil de practicantes de este deporte es hasta el momento limitada. El objetivo de este estudio fue, por tanto, analizar la evolución del pádel España y determinar un perfil de jugadores en función de la edad, el género y el nivel de práctica. Se recurrió a los datos de las Encuestas de Hábitos Deportivos de España desde el año 2000 al 2015 (n = 61.189) y a los informes del número de licencias de la Federación Española de Pádel (n = 56.613). El análisis estadístico incluyó el cálculo de estimaciones e intervalos de confianza sobre la población española. Los resulta-dos mostraron una estimación de 4,2 millones de practicantes de pádel en 2015, existiendo un aumento de 3,0 millones de personas respecto al año 2010. Además, se observó una alta representación femenina (29% de los practicantes y 32% de las licencias) y un elevado número de practicantes adultos (35-54 años). Esta información contribuye a la mejora en la prescripción de programas de ejercicio físico para adultos en las que se utilice el pádel como un tipo de actividad divertida y motivante
The padel sport has gained recent interest given its important growth in Spain during recent years. However, information about padel practitioners’ profile is still limited. The purpose of this study was therefore to analyse the evolution on the number of padel practitioners in Spain to determine a player profile according to gender and age. Data was extracted from the Survey of Sporting Habits in Spain from 2000 to 2015 (n = 61,189), and from the reports of sport licences for the Spanish Padel Federation (n = 56,613). Statistical analysis included calculation of estimations and interval confidences on the Spanish population census. Results showed an estimation of 4.3 million of padel practitioners in 2015, finding an increment of 3.0 million compared to 2010. Regarding gender and age distribution, results may allow defining padel as a sport with a high female representation (29% of practitioners and 32% of licences belong to females), being mostly player by adults from 35 to 54 years old. This information contributes to the improvement of exercise programme prescription for adults, which may consider the padel sport as an enjoyable and motivating physical activity.
