“…The differences in loads may be attributed to differences in level and style of play, and game rules. For example, women's lacrosse is a noncontact game, which consists of two 30-minute halves, 12 field players, and no measured boundaries, all of which differ from the men's game (27). In addition, differences exist in stick size.…”

Fields, JB, Jones, MT, Feit, MK, and Jagim, AR. Athlete external loads across a collegiate men’s lacrosse season. J Strength Cond Res 37(8): e455–e461, 2023—Tracking and quantifying athlete workload may provide insight into best practice periodization strategies and workload management. Limited information exists detailing the external demands associated with collegiate men's lacrosse. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare practice, game, and positional differences across a lacrosse season. Male collegiate lacrosse athletes (n = 17; body mass: 79.9 kg ± 9.7 kg; body fat %: 14.7 ± 3.8%) wore a global positional system device during practices (n = 66) and games (n = 19). External load metrics were total distance (TD), sprint distance (SD), accelerations (>3 m·s−2), sprint efforts, player load (PL), PL/min, and top speed. Multiple analysis of variances assessed differences in external loads across session (practice versus game) and sport position (attackers, midfielders, and defenders). A 3 × 4 analysis of variance was used to determine a position-by-time (first quarter [Q1], second quarter [Q2], third quarter [Q3], and fourth quarter [Q4]) interaction (p < 0.05). Total distance (p < 0.001, η 2: 0.047), SD (p < 0.001, η 2: 0.093), sprint efforts (p < 0.001, η 2: 0.077), PL (p < 0.001, η 2: 0.022), and top speeds (p < 0.001, η 2: 0.086) were all higher in games compared with practices. Attackers and defenders covered more TD (p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.0257), accelerations (p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.126), PL (p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.233), and PL/min (p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.193) than midfielders. Attackers and midfielders covered more SD (p = 0.002 η 2 = 0.043), sprint efforts (p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.053), and achieved higher top speed (p < 0.001, η 2 = 0.0063) than defenders. Volume and intensity metrics declined by Q4 in attackers and defenders (p < 0.05), whereas external load measures did not differ across quarters for midfielders. Monitoring in-game external loads can assist coaches with individualizing training programs and preparing athletes for game demands.

“…Girls’ lacrosse developed from a version of the sport played by Native American men; it was introduced to and adapted for girls in Scotland and Britain in the late 19th century. 5 Subsequently, American physical educators imported the girls’ sport to the U.S. in the early 20th century and founded the U.S. Women's Lacrosse Association in 1931. 5 Prevailing expectations of femininity at the time included notions that the female body was not physically capable of exerting energy without severely disrupting reproductive ability.…”
