Abstrakt: To establish the criterion‐assessed energy and fluid requirements of female netball players, 13 adult players from a senior Netball Super League squad were assessed over 14 days in a cross‐sectional design, representing a two‐ and one‐match microcycle, respectively. Total energy expenditure (TEE) and water turnover (WT) were measured by doubly labeled water. Resting and activity energy expenditure were measured by indirect calorimetry and Actiheart, respectively. Mean 14‐day TEE was 13.46 ± 1.20 MJ day−1 (95% CI, 12.63–14.39 MJ day−1). Resting energy expenditure was 6.53 ± 0.60 MJ day−1 (95% CI, 6.17–6.89 MJ day−1). Physical activity level was 2.07 ± 0.19 arbitrary units (AU) (95% CI, 1.95–2.18 AU). Mean WT was 4.1 ± 0.9 L day−1 (95% CI, 3.6–4.7 L day−1). Match days led to significantly greater TEE than training (+2.85 ± 0.70 MJ day−1; 95% CI, +1.00– +4.70 MJ day−1; p = 0.002) and rest (+4.85 ± 0.70 MJ day−1; 95% CI, +3.13–+6.56 MJ day−1; p < 0.001) days. Matches led to significantly greater energy expenditure (+1.85 ± 1.27 MJ; 95% CI, +0.95–+2.76 MJ day−1; p = 0.001) than court‐based training sessions. There was no significant difference in TEE (+0.03 ± 0.35 MJ day−1; 95% CI, −0.74–+0.80 MJ day−1; p = 0.936) across weeks. Calibrated Actiheart 5 monitors underestimated TEE (−1.92 ± 1.21 MJ day−1). Energy and fluid turnover were greatest on match days, followed by training and rest days, with no difference across weeks. This study provides criterion‐assessed energy and fluid requirements to inform dietary guidance for female netball players. Highlights: The energy and fluid requirements of female netball players were greatest on match days, followed by training and rest days, with no difference across a one‐ or two‐match weekly microcycle. Therefore, players are encouraged to periodise their intake on a daily basis, aligning with the demands of their training and match schedule.Female netball players have in‐season energy requirements representative of a vigorously active lifestyle (physical activity level: >2.0 arbitrary units). Water turnover varied widely amongst participants (range: 62 mL fat‐free mass [FFM] day−1), while total energy requirements were more homogenous (range: 0.05 MJ FFM day−1).Calibrated Actiheart 5 monitors underestimated female netball player total energy expenditure in comparison to the doubly labelled water criterion (range: −0.38–3.84 MJ day−1). Further research is now required to investigate the validity of Actiheart for measuring team sport athlete energy expenditure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
