This study aimed to provide a comprehensive epidemiological analysis of Padel practitioners in Portugal to fill this gap. Materials and Methods: A nationwide self-reported questionnaire was administered to Portuguese Padel practitioners. The questionnaire covered sociodemographic, occupational, and health-related items. Results: Overall, 69.2% of respondents reported at least one lifetime Padel injury (mean 2.1 \u00b1 1.2 injuries per injured athlete). Estimated injury incidence was 3.4 \u00b1 4.7 injuries per 1000 h of exposure for the total sample (6.1 \u00b1 4.9 per 1000 h among injured athletes). Tendinous (35.6%) and muscular (26.1%) injuries predominated. Most affected anatomical sites were the elbow (18.0%), ankle (16.6%), knee (12.5%), and shoulder (10.5%). Injuries most frequently occurred during training (32.9%) and were commonly attributed to fatigue\/overload (24.1%). Reported severity was commonly moderate to severe (most frequent absences: 3\u20134 weeks and 1\u20133 months); physiotherapy was the principal management approach. Multivariable analyses identified several associations of practical relevance: higher body mass index was linked to greater overall injury risk (and specifically neck injuries); female sex was associated with higher odds of muscular injuries; years of Padel experience and equipment characteristics (e.g., number of overgrips) showed site-specific associations; and instructor supervision correlated with greater warm-up adherence and lower odds of elbow injury. Playing surface also influenced risk patterns. Conclusions: Portuguese Padel practitioners in this study experience a substantial burden of predominantly tendinous and muscular injuries concentrated at the elbow and lower limb. Athlete factors, exposure, surface, equipment, and supervision represent modifiable targets for multidisciplinary prevention and rehabilitation strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina61091707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,19]],"date-time":"2025-09-19T10:08:58Z","timestamp":1758276538000},"page":"1707","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Sport-Related Injuries in Portuguese Padel Practitioners and Their Characteristics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"61","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1596-9685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricardo Maia","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Sciences, Education and Sport Department, Polytechnic Institute of Maia, N2i, 4475-690 Maia, Portugal"},{"name":"Scientific-Pedagogical Unit of Physiotherapy, Coimbra Health School, Polytechnic University of Coimbra, 3046-854 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Sport Physical Activity and Health Research & Innovation Center (SPRINT), 4960-320 Melga\u00e7o, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-2448-5324","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00eds Gon\u00e7alves","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Sciences, Education and Sport Department, Polytechnic Institute of Maia, N2i, 4475-690 Maia, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds Diogo","family":"Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Sciences, Education and Sport Department, Polytechnic Institute of Maia, N2i, 4475-690 Maia, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6118-0338","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui Soles","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific-Pedagogical Unit of Physiotherapy, Coimbra Health School, Polytechnic University of Coimbra, 3046-854 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Health & Technology Research Center (H&TRC), Coimbra Health School, Polytechnic University of Coimbra, 3045-043 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1286","DOI":"10.1177\/17479541231191739","article-title":"Injuries in Padel players: What is known?
