Abstract. Volume of game external load can be calculated through distance covered by players per match and its study has a great application in the planning of sports trainings. The aim of this study was to analyze distance covered in passive and active game phases and its relation with number of points played and players’ level. Sample was made up of 108 federated padel players (Average age = 33.81 ± 6.72 years old). A total of 4406 points corresponding to 27 padel matches were analyzed through systematic observation with the SAGIT system. Matches were divided into three levels of competition: high level (9 matches; 1158 points), medium level (9 matches; 1352 points) and low level (9 matches; 1044 points). The results showed that padel players covered an average distance of 11 meters per point and 2900 meters per game. This total distance is divided into 51% active phase (playing time) and 49% passive phase (rest time). The mid-level players recorded almost 400 meters more in the active phase than the high-level players and almost 900 meters more than the low-level players. In addition, number of points correlated positively and significantly with the distance covered by the players.
