This workload report is the first in the series of annual publications taking a long-term view of the workload situation of professional players in women’s football.
The objective of these reports is to assess long-term trends of workload indicators over the course of several seasons. In doing so we can uncover any worrying signs of underload and (periodical) overload, whilst also identifying problem areas for the physical and mental wellbeing of players.
The report analyses match workload, rest & recovery periods, periodic fixture congestions and travel load, amongst many other topics. We also look at changes to the international match calendar of women’s football that will undoubtedly shape the discussion around the future of the sport.
