Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen/ Summary of the thesis

Strength and explosive qualities are suggested to be important in football, however, data in female players are scarce. In this thesis, sprint, and jump, but not strength performance measured in the laboratory were associated with match play. Further, strength training did not improve sprint, jump, and match play performance. Additionally, while both males and females improve strength by strength training, only males experienced an improved sprint and jump performance. Finally, the COVID-19 lockdown period in Norway, did not negatively influence maximal strength, sprint, and jump performance in female players.

These findings suggest a limited impact of maximal strength, and maximal strength training on female football performance. This thesis outlines results into female football physiology, that seems to deviate from that of males, highlighting the need for further and detailed investigations to provide an equal knowledge base for training and performance development for both sexes.
