Aims and Scope: Padel Scientific Journal

Padel Scientific Journal (ISSN: 2990-2053; e-ISSN: 2952-2218) is a leading international, peer-reviewed scientific publication dedicated to the advanced study of padel and racket sports. Published by the University of Extremadura, it is a Diamond Open Access journal (no fees for authors or readers) that operates under a rigorous double-blind peer review system.

Global Mission and Scope Our mission is to lead the dissemination of scientific knowledge in racket sports, bridging high-impact research from established markets in Europe and Latin America with emerging academic production in strategic expansion regions such as Asia and the Middle East. PadelSciJ aims to be the scientific engine supporting global professionalization and knowledge transfer across these disciplines.

Thematic Areas The journal welcomes original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses addressing padel, tennis, badminton, squash, and other racket sports through a multidisciplinary lens within Sports Sciences:

  • Performance Analysis & Biomechanics: Technical-tactical evolution, movement patterns, and match analysis.

  • Sports Medicine & Physiotherapy: Injury prevention, physiological demands, and health-related research.

  • Psychology & Sociology: Mental toughness, social impact, and the global growth of racket sport culture.

  • Management, Economics & Education: Professionalization, facility management, and sports pedagogy.

International Excellence While the journal manages manuscripts in Spanish, PadelSciJ actively encourages and prioritizes publication in English to maximize international visibility, impact, and citation. Aimed at the academic community, high-performance coaches, and industry professionals, the journal ensures that scientific evidence translates directly from the laboratory to the court.

Publication Frequency: Semiannual (January-June / July-December).
