Effect of match load on perceived wellness in highly trained female football players

A summary of the research:

This study looked at how playing competitive matches affects the well-being, or "wellness," of highly trained female football players over the two days following a game. Wellness includes things like how tired players feel (fatigue), muscle soreness (delayed onset muscular soreness or DOMS), stress levels, and how well and how long they sleep. Researchers wanted to see how these factors changed from matchday and if physical information collected during the match, like distances covered at high speeds, could predict these wellness changes.
