Busbridge, AR, Hamlin, MJ, Jowsey, JA, Vanner, MH, and Olsen, PD. Running demands of provincial women's rugby union matches in New Zealand. J Strength Cond Res 36(4): 1059-1063, 2022-There has been rapid growth in participation in women's rugby but there is minimal research on the sport. The aim of this study was to increase our knowledge of the running demands of high-level female players in the New Zealand Provincial Rugby Competition. Players (n = 20) wore 10-Hz Global Positioning System units during 7 matches to measure total distance covered, all running distance (≥6.4 km·h-1), high-intensity (HI) running (≥16.1 km·h-1), meters per minute (m·min-1), and maximum speed (km·h-1). Mean ± SD were calculated for forwards and backs. Forwards and backs covered a similar total distance (5,616 ± 809 m and 5,852 ± 1,022 m, respectively) and running distance (3,181 ± 583 m and 3,095 ± 805 m, respectively). However, when separated into specific playing positions, the half back recorded significantly higher running distances (4,292 ± 171 m), greater HI running distances (1,003 ± 58 m), and more distance overall (6,812 ± 277 m) than other positions (p ≤ 0.05). By contrast, outside backs did less running (2,456 ± 114 m) than other positions (p ≤ 0.05), and had the lowest distance for HI running (528 ± 39 m) in the backs. Running demands were similar for forwards and backs; however, within positions there was considerable variation, and the lower running measurements for outside backs maybe unique to women's rugby. Due to these findings and possible different tactical approaches, the development of training and speed zone bands specific to female players is advised because male research findings may lack transferability to women's rugby.
布斯布里奇，AR，哈姆林，MJ，乔西，JA，万纳，MH，以及奥尔森，PD。新西兰省级女子橄榄球联盟比赛的跑动需求。《力量与体能研究杂志》36(4): 1059 - 1063，2022年——女子橄榄球的参与人数迅速增长，但对这项运动的研究却很少。本研究的目的是增加我们对新西兰省级橄榄球比赛中高水平女性球员跑动需求的了解。20名球员在7场比赛中佩戴10赫兹全球定位系统设备，以测量总跑动距离、所有跑动距离（≥6.4千米/小时）、高强度（HI）跑动（≥16.1千米/小时）、每分钟跑动距离（米/分钟）以及最高速度（千米/小时）。计算了前锋和后卫的平均值±标准差。前锋和后卫的总跑动距离相似（分别为5616 ± 809米和5852 ± 1022米）以及跑动距离相似（分别为3181 ± 583米和3095 ± 805米）。然而，当按特定比赛位置划分时，半场后卫的跑动距离（4292 ± 171米）、高强度跑动距离（1003 ± 58米）以及总跑动距离（6812 ± 277米）显著高于其他位置（p ≤ 0.05）。相比之下，边后卫的跑动距离（2456 ± 114米）比其他位置少（p ≤ 0.05），并且在后卫中高强度跑动距离最低（528 ± 39米）。前锋和后卫的跑动需求相似；然而，在不同位置之间存在相当大的差异，边后卫较低的跑动数据可能是女子橄榄球特有的。鉴于这些发现以及可能不同的战术方法，建议针对女性球员制定特定的训练和速度区间标准，因为男性的研究结果可能不适用于女子橄榄球。
