title: Physical fitness of amateur paddle tennis players: comparisons between different competitive levels
abstract: Padel is widely practiced racket sport, although there is scanty data comparing competitive levels and differences between the sexes. Physical fitness of padel 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. Aerobic power (PAM) with Yo YoIR1, agility with handball agility specific test (HAST) muscular power with vertical jump and 3kg medicineball throw, and handgrip endurance strength (HES) with dynamometer were measured. The variables PAM, HAST, vertical jump, throttle and FIPM were significantly different between genders. In addition, in the male category, players in the upper category had lower heart rate scores after Yo YoIR1 as well as distance traveled, throttle and FIPM maximum, while in females the superior category was better in the variables distance traveled in Yo YoIR1 and vertical jump. On the other hand, in both sexes, players of superior categories presented greater time of practice. Amateur padel players with a higher competitive level do not present higher physical fitness, but present longer practice time.

title: Relationship Between Selected Fitness Components of Sarawak Tennis Players
abstract: In tennis, sport specific technical skills are the elements of a successful performance. It also requires a complex interaction of several fitness components and metabolic pathways. A tennis match is characterized as intermittent whole body effort, alternating a few seconds intense activity and short recovery activity interrupted by several resting periods with a typical average match time of 1.5 hours up to more than 5 hours. The purpose of the study was to develop and measure the fitness components of Sarawak tennis players. Thirteen young trained players in the age bracket 15 to 21 years old with experience of at least 2 years in playing tennis and have participated in at least SUKMA level were tested for eight fitness tests. A Pearson correlation test was conducted to examine the relationships among the variables. Significant correlations were found between all the variables (p .05) except for, flexibility and muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular power, agility and speed endurance (p .05) Muscular strength for the left hand was not significantly correlated with speed and aerobic capacity (p .05) There was no significant relationship between speed and muscular power, agility and speed, muscular endurance and aerobic capacity (p .05) Additionally, speed and speed endurance showed no significant relationship with muscular endurance (p 0.5) This study quantifies physical fitness profile using the tennis specific tests that can help to upgrade Sarawak tennis players' performance by examining the relationships among all the fitness components. The findings would be beneficial for coaches to assess their trainees in tennis sports as well as be used as the guidelines for selection purposes.

title: Impact of Fitness Characteristics on Tennis Performance in Elite Junior Tennis Players
abstract: Ulbricht, A, Fernandez Fernandez, J, Mendez Villanueva, A, and Ferrauti, A. Impact of fitness characteristics on tennis performance in elite junior tennis players.  989 998, 2016 The impact of fitness characteristics on tennis performance in adolescent players is not clearly understood. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test whether physical characteristics are related to players' competitive level (i.e. national youth ranking) A secondary aim was to compare adolescent tennis players by performance level (i.e. regional selected players and the national team) A total of 902 male and female junior players (aged, 11 16 years) in Germany were evaluated using a physical testing battery: grip strength; countermovement jump; 10 and 20 m sprint; tennis specific sprint; overhead, forehand, and backhand medicine ball throws (MBT) serve velocity and tennis specific endurance test (hit and turn tennis test) Results showed that serve velocity (r 0.43 to 0.64 for female subjects r 0.33 to 0.49 for male subjects and upper body power (e.g. MBT r 0.26 to 0.49 r 0.20 to 0.49 were the most correlated predictors of tennis performance (i.e. national youth ranking) in both female and male tennis players. Moreover, national selected players showed better performance levels than their regional counterparts, mainly in the most predictive physical characteristics (i.e. serve velocity: effect size [ES] 0.78 1.04 ES 0.92 1.02 MBT: ES, 0.66 0.88 ES, 0.67 1.04 and specific endurance (ES, 0.05 0.95 ES, 0.31 0.73 The present findings underline the importance of certain physical attributes, especially serve velocity and strength and power related variables (upper body) and suggest the need to include these parameters in the area of training, physical testing, and talent identification of young tennis players.

title: Aerobic Fitness and Technical Efficiency at High Intensity Discriminate between Elite and Subelite Tennis Players.
abstract: The aim of this study was to determine whether selected physiological, performance and technical parameters derived from an on court test are capable of discriminating between tennis players of national and international levels. 38 elite and subelite tennis players were divided into international level (INT, n=8) and national level players (NAT, n=30) They all performed a specific endurance field test, and selected physiological (maximum oxygen uptake [V.O2max] and ventilatory thresholds [VT1 and VT2] performance (test duration, final stage and hits per test) and technical (technical effectiveness [TE] parameters were compared. INT showed greater V.O2max, VO2 at VT2 (ml*kg( 1)*min( 1) test duration (s) final stage (no. hits per test (no. and TE of successful hits) as compared with NAT (p<0.05) At high exercise intensity (stages 5 and 6) the INT achieved better TE than NAT (p=0.001 0.004) and the discriminant analyses showed that these technical parameters were the most discriminating factors. These results suggest that this specific endurance field test is capable of discriminating between tennis players at national and international levels, and that the better aerobic condition of the INT is associated with better technical efficiency at higher exercise intensities.

title: Tennis Play Intensity Distribution and Relation with Aerobic Fitness in Competitive Players
abstract: The aims of this study were (i) to describe the relative intensity of simulated tennis play based on the cumulative time spent in three metabolic intensity zones, and (ii) to determine the relationships between this play intensity distribution and the aerobic fitness of a group of competitive players. 20 male players of advanced to elite level (ITN) performed an incremental on court specific endurance tennis test to exhaustion to determine maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and the first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1, VT2) Ventilatory and gas exchange parameters were monitored using a telemetric portable gas analyser (K4 b2, Cosmed, Rome, Italy) Two weeks later the participants played a simulated tennis set against an opponent of similar level. Intensity zones (1: low, 2: moderate, and 3: high) were delimited by the individual VO2 values corresponding to VT1 and VT2, and expressed as percentage of maximum VO2 and heart rate. When expressed relative to VO2max, percentage of playing time in zone 1 (77 25% was significantly higher (p 0.001) than in zone 2 (20 21% and zone 3 (3 5% Moderate to high positive correlations were found between VT1, VT2 and VO2max, and the percentage of playing time spent in zone 1 (r 0.68 0.75) as well as low to high inverse correlations between the metabolic variables and the percentage of time spent in zone 2 and 3 (r 0.49 0.75) Players with better aerobic fitness play at relatively lower intensities. We conclude that players spent more than 75% of the time in their low intensity zone, with less than 25% of the time spent at moderate to high intensities. Aerobic fitness appears to determine the metabolic intensity that players can sustain throughout the game.

title: Model and effectiveness of endurance exercise to increase physical fitness in intellectual disability subjects with obesity: a randomized controlled trial.
abstract: AIM to design a model and assess the effectiveness of endurance exercise to increase physical fitness in intelectual disability (ID) patients with obesity. METHODS a randomized controlled clinical trial was performed in ID patients with obesity aged 10 30 years old from all Special School in DKI Jakarta, which were randomly allocated into 3 groups and then given 3 different type of exercises: lower extremity muscles endurance exercise for 20 RM followed by cardiorespiratory endurance exercise for 24 25 minutes (type I) lower extremity muscles endurance exercises for 10 RM followed by cardiorespiratory endurance exercises for 26 27 minutes (type II) and threw a tennis ball with 10 m distance for 10 minutes as control (type III) These program was performed 3 times a week for 4 months. Assesment of the exercise effectiveness was done by measuring maximum load that can be lifted and six minutes walking test on rectangular track which was converted with the VO2 max prediction formula. Analysis was perfomed with Kruskal Wallis test.  two hundred and twelve (212) subjects were included in the study, randomly allocated into three types (I, II, and III) of exercises groups. The type II of endurance exercise model was proved to be more effective in increasing lower extremity muscles endurance level compared to type I and III for ID patients with obesity (p<0.05) Meanwhile, type I of endurance exercise model was proved to be more effective in increasing cardiorespiratory endurance level compared to type II and III for ID patients with obesity (p<0.05) CONCLUSION lower extremity muscles endurance exercise followed by a cardiorespiratory endurance exercise can be used to increase physical fitness in ID patients with obesity.
