dc.description.abstractAvhandlingen undersøkte kamp- og treningsbelastning hos kvinnelige fotballspillere på toppnivå i Norge. Ved å samle data fra fire Toppserien lag over to sesonger, analyserte vi spillernes aktivitetsnivå i kamp og i typiske treningsuker. Resultatene avslørte store forskjeller i aktivitet mellom ulike spillerposisjoner, spesielt med tanke på høyhastighetsløp og sprinter. Videre kom det frem at treningsbelastningen i typiske treningsuker følger et pyramideformet mønster, med høyere belastning midt i uken, og lavere belastning i etter- og i forkant av kamp. Imidlertid oppnådde spillerne ikke samme topphastighet under trening som under kamper. Disse funnene gir verdifull innsikt for trenere og spillere, og understreker viktigheten av å tilpasse treningen for å møte de fysiske kravene i kamp.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe thesis aimed to investigate the activity profiles and training loads of highly trained female football players amidst the growing interest in women's football. Data were collected from four Norwegian premier division teams over two seasons. One paper analyzed players' activity profiles by position, while another established reference values for deviations in these profiles. Results showed players covered great distances during matches, with notable differences between positions. A normally large match-to-match variability in high-speed running and sprinting were observed, which has implications for player monitoring. The training load distribution in typical cycles followed sound principles, with a high concentration of load in the mid-week, and lower loads following and preceding match day. Despite this however, players did not achieve maximal running speeds during training. These findings underscore the importance of tailored training strategies to match the activity levels of competitive play while recognizing potential performance gaps in training sessions.en_US

dc.description.popularabstractWith the surge in professionalism and competitiveness of women's football, there is a call for further research to enhance the development and health of these athletes. This thesis tried to answer this call by examining the activity profiles and training loads of elite female footballers in Norway. Data from four teams in the premier division were analyzed over two seasons. The results showed that players covered great distances during matches, with variations in running intensity depending on player position. For example, wingers were subjected to higher demands in terms of high-speed running and sprinting compared to center-backs. It was also interesting to note how the activity varied from match to match, particularly concerning high-speed running and sprinting, which has important implications for player monitoring. The load in typical training weeks followed a pyramid structure, with lower loads before and after matches and higher loads during the midweek. This aligned with fundamental training principles. However, players did not achieve maximal running speeds during training sessions, which coaches should be aware of. These insights provides valuable insights for coaches and players, emphasizing the importance of adapting training to match the activity levels during matches while considering the need for recovery and varied training.en_US
