This study aimed to evaluate the acceleration\u2013velocity profiles of elite female players during the Final Weekend of the Women\u2019s EURO 2024.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    Sixty-four players from the 4 finalist teams (19 wings, 33 backcourts, and 12 line players) were monitored using a validated Local Positioning System. Data were processed in Python, using dual-pass Butterworth filtering to refine the signal and determine each player\u2019s maximum velocity. Peak acceleration and distance covered at speeds exceeding 4\u00a0m\/s were calculated, and all running trajectories exceeding 90% of each player\u2019s individual maximum velocity were considered for the final analysis, with a 3-second buffer added before and after each event for descriptive purposes. Results were grouped by playing position and 2 game phases (fast breaks or defensive transitions).\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    Wings covered significantly greater distances and exhibited higher peak speeds and accelerations than backcourt and line players (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u2009.001). No significant differences in intensity metrics were found between offensive and defensive transitions; however, the trajectory analysis revealed that maximal-intensity actions occurred nearly twice as often during defensive transitions.\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\n                      :\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    In-competition assessment of individual acceleration\u2013velocity profiles provides valuable insights for coaches seeking to manage high-speed running loads across training sessions or microcycles.
