Key Points - The wide assortment of load variables monitored and inconsistencies in the methods utilized to measure load variables across studies limit the ability to report and compare typical external and internal loads during training and games according to playing level and position in female basketball players. - Standardized approaches are needed for categorizing playing level and position, deciding when to include player data in analyses (e.g., minimum exposure time), measuring session duration (e.g., total time, live time, session components), and measuring session intensity (e.g., consistent RPE scales, intensity zone cut points) in future female basketball research to permit meaningful interpretation and comparisons of load monitoring data across studies. - Despite a rise in the popularity, professionalism, and number of studies reporting training and game loads in female basketball players, more longitudinal studies reporting load variables across various timeframes (e.g., sessional, daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal phase) and playing levels are needed to better understand the loading patterns experienced across the annual plan in female basketball teams. - Backcourt female basketball players (guards) appear to experience higher BLa concentrations during games compared to frontcourt players (forwards and centers).
