During rugby sevens tournaments, it is crucial to balance match load and recovery to strive for optimal performance.
To determine changes in well-being, recovery, and neuromuscular performance during and after an elite women's rugby sevens tournament and assess the influence of match-load indicators.
Twelve elite women rugby sevens players (age = 25.3 [4.1]y, height = 169.0 [4.0] cm, weight = 63.9 [4.9] kg, and body fat = 18.6% [2.7%]) performed 5 matches during a 2-d tournament of the Women's Rugby Sevens World Series. Perceived well-being (fatigue, sleep quality, general muscle soreness, stress levels, and mood), total quality of recovery, and countermovement-jump flight time were measured on match days 1 and 2, 1 d posttournament, and 2 d posttournament. Total distance; low-, moderate-, and high-intensity running; and physical contacts during matches were derived from global positioning system-based time-motion analysis and video-based notational analysis, respectively. Internal match load was calculated by session rating of perceived exertion and playing time (rating of perceived exertion × duration).
Well-being (P < .001), fatigue (P < .001), general muscle soreness (P < .001), stress levels (P < .001), mood (P = .005), and total quality of recovery (P < .001) were significantly impaired after match day 1 and did not return to baseline values until 2 d posttournament. More high-intensity running was related to more fatigue (r = -.60, P = .049) and a larger number of physical contacts with more general muscle soreness (r = -.69, P = .013).
Perceived well-being and total quality of recovery were already impaired after match day 1, although performance was maintained. High-intensity running and physical contacts were predominantly related to fatigue and general muscle soreness, respectively.
在七人制橄榄球比赛中，平衡比赛负荷和恢复以争取最佳表现至关重要。
确定女子七人制橄榄球精英选手在一场精英女子七人制橄榄球巡回赛期间和之后的幸福感、恢复情况和神经肌肉表现的变化，并评估比赛负荷指标的影响。
12 名精英女子七人制橄榄球运动员（年龄=25.3[4.1]岁，身高=169.0[4.0]厘米，体重=63.9[4.9]千克，体脂=18.6%[2.7%]）在女子七人制橄榄球世界系列赛的为期两天的巡回赛中进行了 5 场比赛。在比赛日 1 和 2、赛后 1 天和赛后 2 天测量了运动员的幸福感（疲劳感、睡眠质量、一般性肌肉酸痛、压力水平和情绪）、全面恢复质量和反跳式纵跳飞行时间。通过全球定位系统时间动作分析和视频记录分析分别获得比赛期间的总距离、低强度、中强度和高强度跑动以及身体接触数据。内部比赛负荷通过比赛时的感觉运动强度和比赛时间（感觉运动强度×时间）来计算。
比赛日 1 之后，运动员的幸福感（P<0.001）、疲劳感（P<0.001）、一般性肌肉酸痛（P<0.001）、压力水平（P<0.001）、情绪（P=0.005）和全面恢复质量（P<0.001）均显著受损，直到赛后 2 天才恢复到基线值。高强度跑动与疲劳感（r=-0.60，P=0.049）和身体接触与一般性肌肉酸痛（r=-0.69，P=0.013）的相关性更大。
尽管运动表现保持不变，但比赛日 1 后运动员的幸福感和全面恢复质量已经受损。高强度跑动和身体接触主要与疲劳感和一般性肌肉酸痛有关。
