This review examines the physiological responses and descriptive characteristics of women's lacrosse players to pre-season conditioning and selected fitness parameters. The research findings are discussed, and the application of conditioning, speed, agility, footwork, and strength training for college female lacrosse players is explored. The conclusion highlights consistency with the ASEP suggestions but also identifies limitations in the research.
