Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the changes in match demands of Australian Football League Women's (AFLW) athletes over the past 3 seasons (2022-2023). It was hypothesized that match demands would increase across all positional groups.

Methods: Forty-two athletes from 1 AFLW club who played at least 1 match across seasons 6 to 8 (2022-2023) were included. Match-day running demands including total distance (TD), speed, acceleration, high-intensity running (HIR; >19 km/h), very HIR (VHIR; >21 km/h), and sprint distances (>24 km/h) were exported from Catapult Vector S7 global positioning system units. Raw speed (in meters per minute) and acceleration (in meters per second squared) files were exported to calculate 1-minute rolling peak periods. Linear mixed-effects regression models were conducted with effect sizes (d) to examine changes in match demands over time for the cohort and playing-position groups.

Results: TD increased by 344 m (d = 0.33) between seasons 6 and 7 and 971 m (d = 0.72) between seasons 7 and 8 (P < .001). HIR, VHIR, rolling 1-minute peak speed, and acceleration increased between seasons 6 and 7 by 70 m (d = 0.38), 36 m (d = 0.31), 5.1 m/min (d = 0.15), and 0.04 m/s2 (d = 0.46), respectively (P < .001), while no changes were seen between seasons 7 and 8. Total player load increased by 28 AU (d = 0.29) between seasons 6 and 7 and 80 AU (d = 0.54) between seasons 7 and 8 (P < .001).

Conclusions: TD increased across seasons 6 to 8, whereas HIR, VHIR, rolling 1-minute peak speed, and acceleration only increased between seasons 6 and 7. While changes in TD may encompass factors such as rule changes, relative metrics including HIR and VHIR changed in this cohort. These findings provide a comprehensive evaluation of current AFLW match demands and will assist in future AFLW athlete preparation.

三个澳大利亚女子足球联赛(AFLW)赛季中运动员比赛需求的演变。
目的:调查澳大利亚女子足球联赛(AFLW)运动员在过去3个赛季(2022-2023)的比赛需求变化。假设所有位置组的匹配需求都会增加。方法:纳入来自1个AFLW俱乐部的42名运动员,他们在第6至8赛季(2022-2023)至少参加了1场比赛。比赛日跑动要求包括总距离(TD)、速度、加速度、高强度跑动(HIR);>19 km/h),甚高频(VHIR;>21 km/h)和冲刺距离(>24 km/h)从Catapult Vector S7全球定位系统单元导出。导出原始速度(以米/分钟为单位)和加速度(以米/秒平方为单位)文件,以计算1分钟的滚动峰值周期。采用线性混合效应回归模型(d)来检验队列和位置组的比赛需求随时间的变化。结果:第6 ~ 7季间TD增加344 m (d = 0.33),第7 ~ 8季间TD增加971 m (d = 0.72) (P < 0.001)。HIR、VHIR、滚动1分钟峰值速度和加速度在第6季和第7季之间分别增加了70 m (d = 0.38)、36 m (d = 0.31)、5.1 m/min (d = 0.15)和0.04 m/s2 (d = 0.46) (P < 0.001),而在第7季和第8季之间没有变化。在第6赛季和第7赛季之间,球员的总负荷增加了28 AU (d = 0.29),在第7赛季和第8赛季之间增加了80 AU (d = 0.54) (P < 0.001)。结论:TD在第6 - 8季增加,而HIR、VHIR、滚动1分钟峰值速度和加速度仅在第6 - 7季增加。虽然TD的变化可能包括规则变化等因素,但在该队列中,包括HIR和VHIR在内的相对指标发生了变化。这些发现提供了对当前AFLW比赛需求的全面评估,并将有助于未来AFLW运动员的准备。
