Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze if a higher volume of practice could produce changes and adaptations to body composition and anthropometry parameters in amateur padel players. The sample includes 30 male amateur players, divided into 2 groups: Low Volume of Practice, formed by 15 players (age: 33.45 ± 7.52 years) and High Volume of Practice formed by 15 players (age: 30.3 ± 8.25 years). Measurements of weight, height, folds, diameters and perimeters, body composition and somatotype were taken. The results showed that a higher volume of practice in amateur platers does not produce improvements in the body composition. Therefore, it seems that, at these level of practice, the changes in body composition may be more related to the intensity of exercise than with volume.
