Introduction: there are few studies about the professional Motorcycle. Objective: the aim of this work is to analyze the training habits of 18 female motorcyclists of international level and to know the history about the practice of sport, the medical history of injuries and their ailments. Method: data collection was performed using a 20-item instrument designed for women riders. It was collected about age, performance level of motor sport, frequency, duration and type of training, injuries and muscle pain. Results: the results show that despite a few hours of training, the riders conceived that they have a normal or even a good physical condition. Particularly striking are the absence of mental or tactical training and the lack of medical checks and reviews. Positive correlations were found in the variables of pain. Conclusions: the motorcycling requires a specific, controlled and planned training and medical monitoring and dietetic through multidisciplinary team training.
