Introduction: The increase in the number of participants of Ultimate Frisbee suggest the necessity to improve the knowledge about this sport and its demands. Thus, the aim of this study was to quantify and compare the external loads imposed upon players during official Ultimate Frisbee matches according to sex. Material and methods: Twelve male and female players participated in four official Ultimate Frisbee matches. Players were divided according to sex (8 males and 4 females). Results: The average duration of matches was 62.3 ± 13.8 min, during which the players were active for 34.9 ± 11.4 min. External loads (i.e., total distance covered, distance covered at different speeds, accelerations and decelerations) encountered by Ultimate Frisbee players were compared between sexes (males vs females). Male players registered greater external loads (p < 0.05 large-moderate), especially performing high-intensity actions (distance at high intensity, distance at very-high speeds, and medium-high accelerations and decelerations) than female players. Conclusions: Coaching and performance staff should consider the sex of each player when developing training programmes and tactical strategies to optimise player performance during Ultimate Frisbee matches.

官方极限飞盘比赛中施加的外部负荷的性别差异：监测极限飞盘需求

简介：极限飞盘参加人数的增加表明有必要提高对这项运动及其需求的了解。因此，本研究的目的是根据性别量化和比较官方终极飞盘比赛期间施加在球员身上的外部负荷。材料与方法：12名男女选手参加了四场官方终极飞盘比赛。选手按性别分为（8男4女）。结果：平均比赛时间为 62.3 ± 13.8 分钟，期间球员活跃时间为 34.9 ± 11.4 分钟。极限飞盘选手遇到的外部负荷（即，总距离、不同速度下的距离、加速度和减速度）在性别（男性与女性）之间进行了比较。男性运动员比女性运动员表现出更大的外部负荷（p < 0.05 大中度），尤其是执行高强度动作（高强度距离、超高速距离和中高加速度和减速度）。结论：教练和表演人员在制定训练计划和战术策略以优化终极飞盘比赛期间的球员表现时，应考虑每个球员的性别。
