Abstract
This research focuses on analyzing the physical performance level of female netball players from the Mutuelle de la Fonction Publique (MFP) club at Bujumbura. The main objective was to determine whether the team’s dominance in national competitions results from genuine athletic superiority or rather from the relatively low performance level of their opponents. The study involved female players aged 35 years and above. To assess their physical qualities, standardized tests were used: the Cooper test for aerobic endurance, the 20-meter sprint for speed, the T-Test for agility, and the vertical jump test for lower limb power. The findings revealed that most players demonstrated an average performance level across the majority of the tests. In the Cooper test, 60% of the players scored average, 30% good, and 10% poor. In the 20-meter sprint, 40% were average, 30% good, and 30% poor. Regarding agility, 40% achieved good results, 30% average, and 30% poor. For the vertical jump, 60% scored average, 30% poor, and only 10% good. These results indicate that the physical performance of the MFP players is generally moderate and does not align with international standards for elite female athletes. The apparent superiority of the team in national competitions seems to be explained more by team cohesion, experience, and tactical organization, as well as by the relatively weak preparation of their opponents, rather than by a clear physical advantage. This study highlights the necessity of implementing well-structured physical preparation programs to improve endurance, speed, agility, and power among players. Such measures would help to strengthen the team’s performance in a sustainable manner and contribute to the development of women’s netball in Burundi.
