This study aims were to determine the positional physical requirements of English domestic women's rugby union match-play. Global positioning system data (Catapult Minimax S4) were collected at 10 Hz of 129 competitive player games from the Tyrrells Premier15 league. Players were classified according to broad (Forwards, Backs) and specific positions (front-, second-, back-row, scrum-half, inside-, and outside-backs). Total distances, maximum speed, and player loads were calculated. Mean total distance was 4982 m and was similar between the Forwards and Backs, with second-row players covering the most (5297 m) and outside-backs the least (4701 m). Inside- and outside-backs covered a significantly greater distance at high speed running (134 m; 178 m) and sprinting (74 m; 92 m) speeds, respectively, whereas the second- and back-row covered greater distances jogging (1966 m; 1976 m) and the front-row spent the greatest overall distance walking (2613 m). Outside-backs reached greater maximum speed than all other positions (24.9 km.h-1). The mean player load was highest in the back-row (562 AU) and second-row (555 AU) and these were higher than the outside-backs (476 AU). These findings indicate that the demands placed on female rugby players are position specific and differ from male players. Additionally, the data are the first obtained from the 10 Hz GPS and from within English domestic women's rugby, thus adding to the overall limited data available on women's rugby union.
本研究旨在确定英格兰国内女子英式橄榄球联盟比赛中的位置体能要求。通过全球定位系统（Catapult Minimax S4）收集了来自泰瑞尔超级15联赛的129场球员比赛的10Hz数据。球员根据宽泛位置（前锋、后卫）和具体位置（前排、第二排、后排、传锋、内锋和边锋）进行分类。计算了总距离、最大速度和球员负荷。平均总距离为4982米，前锋和后卫之间相似，其中第二排球员覆盖距离最长（5297米），边锋最短（4701米）。内锋和边锋在高速奔跑（分别为134米；178米）和冲刺（分别为74米；92米）速度下覆盖的距离显著更长，而第二排和后排在慢跑（分别为1966米；1976米）时覆盖距离更长，前排步行的总距离最长（2613米）。边锋达到的最大速度高于所有其他位置（24.9公里/小时）。平均球员负荷在后排（562任意单位）和第二排（555任意单位）最高，且高于边锋（476任意单位）。这些发现表明，对女性橄榄球运动员的要求因位置而异，且与男性运动员不同。此外，这些数据是首次从10Hz全球定位系统以及英格兰国内女子橄榄球比赛中获得，从而增加了女子英式橄榄球联盟总体有限的数据。
