This study aimed to analyse the body composition and somatotype in padel players according to their playing category. The sample comprised 40 male padel players divided into two groups: 20 players of first category (high level, age: 28.3 ± 8.3 years) and 20 padel player of third category (low level, age: 30.5 ± 7.5 years). Weight, height, skin folds, diameters and perimeters were measured to determine the body composition and somatotype. Low level players showed higher BMI (23.8 ± 2.4 vs 25.7 ± 2.3 kg/m2) and higher abdominal and subscapular skin folds compared to high level players (p < .05). On the other hand, the first category players had higher muscle mass and lower fat percentages than third category players, resulting in an ectomorphic somatotype in high level players (p <.05). In conclusion, padel players present different anthropometric characteristics and somatotype regarding their level of play, with a notably better body composition in players from a higher level.
