The purpose of this literature review is to focus on physiological changes in sports performance during a season in elite female basketball players. Methods: This literature review used a structured methodology to examine the impact of different training loads on the physiological responses of elite female basketball players over 20 years of age during a season. To collect the data for our study, 4 bibliographic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Pro Quest) were used using the Jab Ref program. According to a hybrid of sports scientific methods, we found 60 scientific articles that matched our requirements, integrating anthropometric analysis, body composition, strength tests and speed tests. Conclusions; At the end of this literature review, a more in-depth understanding of the complex effects of training loads on physiological responses and sports performance in female basketball players during competitive sports seasons has been formed.
