Eleven players of the Brazilian women’s rugby sevens national team were investigated across three 2019-20 HSVC World Rugby Women’s Seven Series tournaments to assess: (1) within-tournament match-to-match changes in various external and internal match load measures; (2) daily changes in players’ well-being collected before the commencement of a tournament (day one) and during or post-tournament (day two to day four); and (3) the effect of pre-match well-being and level of opponents (high vs. low level) on match loads. Results revealed no between-match significant differences (<i>p</i> > 0.05) in most of the investigated match load measures. A congested match schedule negatively affected perceived fatigue (<i>p</i> < 0.001), muscle soreness (<i>p</i> = 0.004) and overall wellness (<i>p</i> < 0.001), with post hoc analyses showing decreased values on day four compared to previous days (small-to-moderate effect sizes). Finally, pre-match well-being and level of opponents did not affect match loads (<i>p</i> > 0.05). These results highlighted the necessity to embrace a multidimensional approach when adopting monitoring systems in elite women’s rugby sevens during tournaments and to consider various contextual factors possibly affecting match loads, besides those investigated.Daniele ConteAristide GuerrieroCorrado LupoAdemir Felipe Schultz ArrudaPaulius KamarauskasMDPI AGarticleGPSexternal loadRPEinternal loadwellnesscongested fixtureMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 12132, p 12132 (2021)
