Abstract

This study aims to design and evaluate ability-based training models for the forehand drive and forehand glass in padel, specifically tailored for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players at Volta Padel Club Medan. The study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a pre-test–post-test design to assess the effectiveness of the proposed models. The participants comprised 36 padel players categorized according to their respective ability levels. Data were collected using forehand drive accuracy tests, forehand glass effectiveness measures, and notational analysis during gameplay to capture performance improvements comprehensively. The findings demonstrate statistically significant improvements across all groups (p < 0.05), with the most pronounced gains observed among intermediate and advanced players. These results indicate that the ability-based training models effectively enhance players’ technical performance and support structured skill development across different proficiency levels. This study contributes to sport training research by providing a systematic and level-oriented framework for padel skill development, highlighting the importance of aligning training design with players’ performance capacities.
