Padelns utveckling i Sverige : En kvalitativ studie om padeln i Sverige och dess inverkan på övriga racketsporter

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study has been to investigate how padel has managed to increase in such a rapid speed and what main reasons has been for its growth but also to investigate what impact padel has had on other racquet clubs in Sweden. In this study we therefore reached out to several associations with a delimitation to the racquet sports to create a greater understanding. This study has shown that the main reasons for the growth of the sport has been in its advantage of being relatively easy to play no matter what level. The padel centres have also changed the common depiction of a normal sports association in that way that the padel centres is run more like a corporation which also has led to the development of the sport. The results show that padel has not led to a negative impact for the other big racquet sports, rather the opposite. All the associations welcome padel and agree that more racquet sports are great for everyone and could be a gateway to each other’s sports.
