Influence of the quality of the opponent on physical, technical, and tactical performance of elite female soccer players in international competitions

Purpose Soccer is a complex sport that depends on several physical performance and technical-tactical factors. Therefore, we aimed to: i) analyze the differences in physical, technical, and tactical performance of one international team when competing against opponents divided by their world ranking...

description Purpose Soccer is a complex sport that depends on several physical performance and technical-tactical factors. Therefore, we aimed to: i) analyze the differences in physical, technical, and tactical performance of one international team when competing against opponents divided by their world ranking (i.e., higher ranked [HR] and lower ranked [LR]) ii) explore the associations between physical, technical, and tactical measures obtained when playing against HR and LR teams. Methods Twenty-seven elite female soccer players ( n  = 27; age: 27 ± 3.4 years; height: 162.8 ± 4.32 cm; body mass: 60.5 ± 4.6 kg) selected from a South American international team during 34 official FIFA matches volunteered to participate in this study. Physical measurements were recorded using Global Positioning System (Catapult Sports ® , 10 Hz), and the post-match rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was also reported. Technical and tactical variables were recorded through an analysis platform (InStat Footbal ® ). Results When compared to LR, HR matches showed significantly trivial to moderate higher RPE, total distance (TD), meters per minute (MM), and player load (PL) ( p
