CI, confidence interval; TPT, total playing time; RPT, real playing time; TRT, total resting time; HRmean, mean heart rate assessed during padel competition; HRmax, maximum heart rate assessed during padel competition; %HRmax, percentage of HRmean on reference HRmax (graded exercise test); PV, plasma volume. Numbers in brackets represent the 95% CI of the mean. Italics are used to highlight statistical significance.
