Impact of Playing Position on Competition External Load in Professional Padel Players Using Inertial Devices.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Padel is a racket sport that has grown internationally, both in the number of players and in the number of competitions. Inertial measurement devices enable a comprehensive analysis of competitive load in padel by providing kinematic variables that enhance players' performance in this discipline. This study aimed to analyse the external load variables recorded with an inertial device in elite padel players, comparing metrics based on the players' positions (left and right sides of the court). A total of 83 players were monitored during 23 matches of the professional circuit. The results revealed specific load metrics, including distance covered, frequency of accelerations and decelerations per hour, maximum speeds reached, and acceleration profiles relative to distance covered, which were all measured using the Wimu Pro™ device. Left-side players showed more frequent accelerations and decelerations per hour compared to right-side players. The results of this study will, on one hand, enable the adjustment of new specific parameters for professional padel training, such as acceleration and deceleration profiles, player load, and distances covered at explosive speeds. On the other hand, the results will provide a more objective evaluation of padel players' performance based on their positions.
