The aim of the present study it's a providing an update of the profile of very high-speed running (VHSR) of professional female football players. In this study 23 official matches of the Spanish First Division of Women´s Football were analysed. A total of 15 players participated, who were classified according to their location on the matches played: central-corridor (CCP, n = 7), and lateral-corridor (LCP, n = 8). The variables recorded were: 1) Very High-Speed Running (VHSR), considering the accumulated distance, duration, and frequency, and the individual characteristics of the efforts (distance and duration); 2) Recovery between efforts (VHSRe) and; 3) VMAX. The results show that LCP described higher values in accumulative VHSR and VHSR by distance bands, with greater distances, durations and VMAX of VHSRe, with less recovery between efforts. There seems to be an evolutionary trend in the distribution of the efforts, with a higher % of efforts in the 10-20 m band. The results provide useful information that coaching staff of professional women's football teams could use to design specific very high-speed running training to optimize performance in competition.
本研究旨在提供对职业女子足球运动员超高速度跑动（VHSR）特征的最新认识。本研究分析了西班牙女足甲级联赛的 23 场正式比赛。共有 15 名球员参与，根据他们在比赛中的位置进行了分类：中央走廊（CCP，n=7）和侧方走廊（LCP，n=8）。记录的变量包括：1）超高速度跑动（VHSR），包括累计距离、持续时间和频率，以及个体努力的特征（距离和持续时间）；2）努力之间的恢复（VHSRe）；3）VMAX。结果表明，LCP 在累积 VHSR 和按距离带划分的 VHSR 方面表现出更高的值，具有更大的距离、持续时间和 VHSRe 的 VMAX，努力之间的恢复时间更短。在努力的分布上似乎存在一种进化趋势，10-20 米波段的努力比例更高。这些结果提供了有用的信息，职业女子足球队伍的教练可以利用这些信息来设计特定的超高速度跑动训练，以优化比赛中的表现。
