2019 프랑스여자월드컵과 2023 호주 뉴질랜드 여자월드컵 8강진출팀의 경기활동량(체력) 데이터 비교 분석

Abstract

This study conducted a comparative analysis of the physical activity variables of the teams that reached the quarter-finals in the 2019 France Women’s World Cup and the 2023 Australia New Zealand Women’s World Cup. The subjects were 411 players from the positions of defender (DF), midfielder (MF), and forward (FW) who played more than 70 minutes per game, excluding goalkeepers from the analysis. The study utilized the SPSS 27.0 statistical package for analysis, calculating means (M) and standard deviations (SD), and conducted one-way analysis of variance (One-way ANOVA) and Scheffe’s post-hoc test to analyze differences in physical activity data. Additionally, a two-way analysis of variance (Two-way ANOVA) and Scheffe’s post-hoc test were conducted to analyze activity types and physical levels by tournament. The analysis revealed that the distance covered in zone 1 (0-7km) and zone 3 (13-19km) was higher in the 2019 tournament, while the number of high-intensity sprints in zone 5 (>23km) increased in the 2023 tournament. This suggests that the role and tactical demands on positions changed from the 2019 to the 2023 tournament. Notably, changes in roles during attack transitions and counter-attacks induced changes in physical demands by position. The findings of this study not only contribute to understanding the physical and tactical evolution between the two tournaments but also provide important insights for future tournament preparations and player development strategies. Moreover, the comparison of physical data by tournament and position can serve as a foundational resource for continuous improvement in tactical and physical preparation in women’s soccer.
