“…The use of technologies such as Global Positioning System (GPS) devices and semi-automated camera systems are now relatively commonplace within men's soccer. These technologies are more time efficient than the traditional video-based time motion analysis systems and offer greater objectivity and volume of information [4]. Furthermore, more detailed evaluations of specific elements of a player's physical performance as opposed to generic time-motion analysis can be undertaken [5][6][7][8].…”

“…More recent studies [10][11][12][13] , using larger sample sizes (n = 13 -58) have reported an increase in total distance covered (~10 km) for national team players when measured using video-tape and GPS technology. Whilst a trend exists for an increase in total distance covered compared to early reports, these differences may also to some extent reflect differences in data collection methods [4]. Total distance covered provides a global estimation of physical match-play but it is high-speed running which is deemed to be more informative and reflective of the game [5,7].…”

“…The majority of these studies have been conducted using traditional single camera time-motion analysis methods pioneered in the 1970s. Modern technologies such as GPS and semi-automated camera systems are able to provide more detailed information across large samples of players relative to video-based approaches [4,22]. Consequently, more comprehensive evaluations of the physical characteristics of elite female match-play using contemporary analysis methods and more specific playing position classifications are warranted.…”

“…Moreover, in soccer, those that can integrate both physical and tactical/technical training are considered superior in enhancing the effectiveness of the available training time. The issue of managing a player's training load is important for the elite player to ensure optimal preparation for performance and potentially reduce the susceptibility to injury [4,62]. …”

The popularity and professionalism of female soccer has increased markedly in recent years, with elite players now employed on either a professional or semi-professional basis. The previous review of the physiological demands of female soccer was undertaken two decades ago when the sport was in its relative infancy. Increased research coupled with greater training and competition demands warrants an updated review to consider the effect on physical performance and injury patterns.The physical demands of match-play along with the influence of factors such as the standard of competition, playing position and fatigue have been explored. Total distance covered for elite female players is approximately 10 km, with 1.7 km completed at high-speed (>18 km.h -1 ). Elite players complete 28% more high-speed running and 24% more sprinting than moderate level players. Decrements in high-speed running distance have been reported between and within halves, which may indicate an inability to maintain highintensity activity. Although physical capacity of female players is the most thoroughly researched area comparisons are difficult due to differing protocols. Elite players exhibit maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) values of 49.4 -57.6 ml.kg -1 .min -1 , Yo Yo Intermittent Endurance test level 2 (YYIE2) scores of 1774 ± 532 m (mean ± SD) and 20 m sprint times of 3.17 ± 0.03 s (mean ± SD). Reasons for the increased prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament injuries in females (2-6 times greater than males) are discussed with anatomical, biomechanical loading and neuromuscular activation differences being cited in the literature. This review presents an in-depth contemporary examination of the applied physiology of the female soccer player.Applied Physiology of Female Soccer 2 1) Introduction The last review of the physiological demands of female soccer was undertaken two decades ago [1] . At the time of that review, women's soccer was in its relative infancy with the inaugural Women's World Cup having taken place in 1991. The popularity of women's soccer has increased markedly in recent years with 29 million participants recorded in 2011, an increase of 34% from 2000 [2]. The 2015 Women's World Cup will have 24 participating nations, an increase of eight from the previous tournament.Since the previous review, increasing attention in the scientific literature has focused on women's soccer with over two thousand scientific articles published. There has been a drive towards professionalism in the sport with players at the highest level now employed on a professional or semi-professional basis. Current elite players are exposed to greater training volumes and competition demands than ever before, consequently these increased physical demands may have implications for both physical performance levels and injury patterns. Inline with these changes, advances in technology available for monitoring athletes has led to greater opportunities to scientifically support players and thus information regarding the modern elite female player...

“…This multiple-camera system passively tracks the movements of every player using a sampling rate of 10.0 Hz over the entire course of matches. The workings, accuracy and reliability of the AMISCO Pro ® system in measuring player movements in elite soccer competition have been described in detail elsewhere [6,26] [3]. Data on the overall distance covered and that run in high-intensity activity respectively were collected for each half of games.…”

In this study, the effects of a prolonged period of fixture congestion (8 successive official matches in 26-days) on physical performance and injury risk and severity in a professional soccer team were investigated. Computerised motion-analysis was used to analyse the overall distance covered and that run at light-(0.0-11.0 km•h -1 ); low-(11.1-14.0 km•h -1 ); moderate-(14.1-19.7 km•h -1 ) and high-intensities (≥19.8 km•h -1 ) for the team as a whole. Distances were measured in metres per minute. Information on match injuries was recorded prospectively. The overall distance covered varied across successive matches (p<0.001) as more distance was run in games 4 and 7 compared to 2 and 3 respectively ( When comparing match halves, there were no differences across games in overall or high-intensity distance covered and performance in these measures was similar for matches played before, during and after this period. Globally, no difference over the 8 games combined was observed between the reference team and opponents in any of the performance measures whereas the overall distance covered and that in low-(both p<0.001) and high-intensity running (p=0.040) differed in individual games. The incidence of match injury during the congested fixture period was similar to rates reported outside this period but the mean layoff duration of injuries was substantially shorter during the former (p<0.05). In summary, while the overall distance run and that covered at lower intensities varied across games, high-intensity running performance and injury risk were generally unaffected during a prolonged period of fixture congestion. These results might be linked to squad rotation and post-match recovery strategies in place at the present club.
