  • Being able to perform repeated high-speed runs and sprints is crucial to being successful in football (Griffin et al., 2020). The purpose of the current investigation was to compare age groups and positional roles for international female footballers. The objectives of the study were to determine if age group, positional role and/or their interaction had a significant influence on total distance covered, high-speed running distance (>=19.0 km·h-1), sprint distance (>=22.9 km·h-1), accelerations (>=3 m·s-2) and/or decelerations (<=-3 m·s-2) performed during matches. Physical match data for 207 performances of outfield Icelandic international female football players were collected using STATSport Apex units. There were 49, 53 and 105 complete match performances by members of the under-17, under-19 and senior squads respectively. Results revealed that positional role had a significant effect (p<0.001) with wide midfielders having the highest values for high-speed running distance, sprint distance, number of accelerations and decelerations. Age group had a significant effect on high-speed running distance and sprint distance (p < 0.001) with senior players having the highest values. The conclusion of the study is that the varying demands of different positional roles are explained by the differing on-field activities engaged in by the players. Aspiring international female football players need to be aware of the increased physical demands of playing senior international football.

    Keywords: Positional demands, acceleration, deceleration, sprinting, high-speed running
