Sumario:[EN] This paper covers the first phase of a project aimed at developing a protective glove for pilota valenciana. At present, players do not use specific equipment to protect their hands, and the lack of scientific knowledge for the development of specific materials is notable. Within this context, we present a study based on questionnaires administered to 100 pilota valenciana players (51 playing professionally). The purpose is to establish the design specifications of a future protective glove as well as to determine a standard protection. Some results show that 64% of the players believe their protections to worsen performance and 84% of them spend one hour or more to make them. The need to overcome the disadvantages of the current protections has been proved, and design specifications by players must be kept in mind.
