TLDR
Although it is unrealistic to expect the women’s game to approach the work output of the men’S game, specific training of skills and fitness will influence the tactical approach to the game.
Abstract
On the surface, the women's game appears to be similar to the men's game. On closer examination, there are subtle differences in the nature of how each gender plays the game, which are evident in the disparity between skills, tactics and fitness. The technical weaknesses of women include the first touch, dribbling, long passing and goal keeping. These skill limitations have dictated specific tactical approaches towards both attack and defence. Specific biological limitations inherent in the female player affect the pace and total work output in the women's game. Although it is unrealistic to expect the women's game to approach the work output of the men's game, specific training of skills and fitness will influence the tactical approach to the game.

Method of Observation and their Effects in the Selection of Potential Football Goalkeepers

TL;DR: In this paper, the goalkeepers were classified into the following groups: total (GK = 28), main goalkeeper (MG = 14), and replacement goalkeeper (RG = 14) tested at the end of the outward phase by penalty kicks test, ‘T’ Drill Test, Ruler Drop Test (TR), and anthropometric parameters (BH, BMI, BFP, BW).

Deciphering the offensive process in women's elite football: A multivariate study

TL;DR: To describe how the offensive phase is produced in women's football, to identify the significant statistical criteria that may be modulating success in attack, and finally to propose different predictive success models, with the ultimate aim of passing this knowledge on to the applied field.

Anthropometric, characteristic, physical fitness parameters- and throwing velocity in female Icelandic youth national handball players

TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal study of 22 Icelandic youth female national handball players (U15, U17, U19) from three different age groups participated in at least four of six measurements as they were tested in height, weight, BMI, MBT, CMJ, 10m sprint, 30 m sprint, Yo-Yo IR2, and throwing velocity.

Match performance of high-standard soccer players with special reference to development of fatigue

TL;DR: Top-class soccer players performed more high-intensity running during a game and were better at the Yo-Yo test than moderate professional players; fatigue occurred towards the end of matches as well as temporarily during the game, independently of competitive standard and of team position; defenders covered a shorter distance in high- intensity running than players in other playing positions.

Physical demands during an elite female soccer game: importance of training status.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that all players have high HR throughout a competitive game with periods of near-maximal values, the distance covered by HIR during match play is closely related to the physical capacity, and the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test can be used as an indicator of the physical match performance of elite female players.
