The effects of sprint training, maximal strength, and technical training have been reported in laboratory studies. However, no study has determined the combined effect and relative contribution of these training modalities on maximal speed adaptation in situ. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the training factors affecting maximal speed adaptation during a preseason in subelite female Australian Rules footballers. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Maximal speed during field training, predicted 1-repetition maximum (1RM) for box squat and hip thrust, and sprint biomechanics were assessed during early and late preseason (\u223c9\u00a0wk apart) in 15 female subelite Australian Rules Football players (age 20\u2009[3]\u00a0y). On-field training volume and intensity (total distance, high-speed running, very-high-speed running, and maximal speed) were determined using a Global Positioning System. A multivariate regression model was used to determine the factors associated with changes in maximal speed across the preseason. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The preseason training program had a small effect on maximal speed and large to very large effects on strength and sprint biomechanics. The multivariate regression with the greatest fit (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001, <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u2009.939) included change in estimated 1RM box squat (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u22120.63), total distance per week (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u22120.55), and change in hip projection (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.16) as factors. Multivariate regression of biomechanical factors (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.044, <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u2009.717) and maximal strength factors (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.003, <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u2009.676) were also significant. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The development of maximal speed across a preseason is dependent on (1)\u00a0total distance per week, (2)\u00a0maximal strength adaptation, and (3)\u00a0sprint technique adaptation in female subelite Australian rules football players.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2023-0523","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,22]],"date-time":"2024-08-22T00:04:53Z","timestamp":1724285093000},"page":"1041-1047","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Determinants of Maximal Speed Adaptation During Preseason in Subelite Female Australian Rules Footballers"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6831-3319","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Gyan A.","family":"Wijekulasuriya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"},{"name":"Western Bulldogs Football Club, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"},{"name":"MSA Research Center, Maribyrnong Sports Academy, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brendan","family":"Canham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western Bulldogs Football Club, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Calvin","family":"Pane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western Bulldogs Football Club, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2150-0624","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hannah","family":"Dower","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"},{"name":"Western Bulldogs Football Club, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0493-4148","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Paul","family":"Larkin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"},{"name":"MSA Research Center, Maribyrnong Sports Academy, Melbourne, VIC, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"r1","series-title":"J Strength Cond Res","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3415","DOI":"10.1519\/JSC.0000000000003810","article-title":"Quantifying the movement characteristics of Australian football league women\u2019s competition","volume":"36","author":"Thornton HR","year":"2022","unstructured":"Thornton HR, Armstrong CR, Gamble T, Rigby A, Johnston RD, Duthie GM.
