Movement-Based Approach in Strength Training Weekly Periodization for Women’s Football: Linking the Gym with the Pitch

Recent research highlights a movement‑based weekly periodization model that bridges strength work in the gym with on‑pitch performance for women’s football. Studies from PSG’s 2018 summit, a 2021 strength‑speed correlation analysis, and a 2025 micro‑dosing framework demonstrate that frequent, low‑volume strength sessions improve sprint speed, lower injury risk, and enhance match readiness. Clubs adopting this approach report measurable gains in speed and a 5‑10% uplift in overall performance metrics. The model offers a scalable template for coaches seeking data‑driven training integration.
