Muscle metabolic responses to a 5v5 football game in trained female football players
These findings indicate that 5v5 SSG impose a notable muscle metabolic load in trained female players, taxing both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems despite a relatively low external load. SSG may be a training modality for improving sport-specific fitness in trained young female players, but intervention studies are required to confirm adaptations. Inference is limited by the small sample and absence of control for menstrual phase and pre-exercise nutrition.
