Abstract

Objectives: This study examines the training (age at club entry, hours in club practice, free play, other sports) and environmental characteristics (popularity, media coverage, school and parental support) influencing the development of female Swiss national team players in elite football over a three-decade period.

Methods: A retrospective questionnaire was completed by 84 participants, who were divided into three cohorts based on their first game with the Swiss national team (C1 = until 2000, n = 24; C2 = 2001-2010, n = 29; C3 = 2011-2022, n = 31). ANOVAs were employed to compare the cohorts regarding training and environmental variables.

Results: The findings demonstrate better perceived environmental conditions, stagnating volume of free play and other sports in childhood, decreasing age at club entry, and increasing club practice and total training volume across cohorts.

Conclusion: Practical implications highlight talent development avenues in unstructured settings during free time and in the micro-structure of club practice.

女子足球的卓越之路：过去30年对瑞士国家队球员的回顾性队列研究。

这项研究考察了30年来影响瑞士国家队女子球员在精英足球中发展的训练（进入俱乐部的年龄、俱乐部练习的时间、自由比赛、其他运动）和环境特征（受欢迎程度、媒体报道、学校和家长支持）。87名参与者完成了一份回顾性问卷，他们根据与瑞士国家队的第一场比赛被分为三组（C1 = 直到2000年，n = 24；C2 = 2001-2010年，n = 29；C3 = 2011-2022，n = 31）。ANOVA用于比较关于训练和环境变量的队列。研究结果表明，人们对环境条件的感知更好，不同人群的自由运动和其他运动量停滞不前，进入俱乐部的年龄降低，俱乐部练习和总训练量增加。实践意义突出了在空闲时间的非结构化环境和俱乐部实践的微观结构中的人才发展途径。
