In the rugby and soccer sevens, players need special motor capacities, such as aerobic and anaerobic resistance, proper force in the muscles that work during game actions, as well as speed and agility. The purpose of the papers was to assess the motor capacity in the competition period, among female athletes who practice team sports. The study comprised 26 subjects, 12 of whom activate in the female rugby team of CS Politehnica Iasi, and 14 of whom belong to the soccer team of Naviobi Iasi. Both teams are champions in their leagues. We applied the following tests: 250m run, long jump without take-off, throwing the 2kg medicine ball, 30second abdominals, and 5m back and forth run. The data obtained were interpreted in SPSS 20.0 for IBM, by applying the t test for independent samples. Results have shown a significant difference (p<0.05). Significant differences were found only for the test that measured the force of abdominal muscles for which the female rugby players scored significantly higher than the rest. In all the other tests, the mean results were similar or very close. We found that the motor experience within the game influenced the results obtained, just like general physical training; they are both important for supporting the specific effort. The tests we applied mid-competition period.
