Comparison of the match running demands of elite and sub-elite women’s Australian Football

Objectives: This study aimed to quantify and compare the match running movements of elite (AFLW) and sub-elite (VFLW) women’s Australian Football (AF) competitions. Methods: Match running movements (GPS) were recorded during 7 AFLW (n = 91 files) and 13 VFLW (n = 263 files) competition matches. Results: AFLW players covered moderately greater relative high-speed running (HSR, 14.4–18.0 km·h−1, AFLW 14.9 ± 5.7 m·min−1; VFLW 12.2 ± 3.9 m·min−1; ES...
