Hence, we have aimed to summarize the effects of different types of endurance training in female soccer players. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Literature identification was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and in multiple databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, EBSCOhost and Science Direct). EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Based on the pre-defined inclusion criteria (year of publication (2003 to 1st April 2023), full-text study published in English, the experimental study that had included healthy and injury-free female soccer players as participant sample), database search has identified 112,371 potential studies. Lastly, a total of seven full-text studies were included, with a total of 196 female participants. A wide range of endurance assessment tests were realized, such as 12-min run test, Wingate test, YoYoIR1 and 30-15IFT, whereas endurance improvements were up to 25.2%. CONCLUSIONS: Although multiple studies did not include control groups, the study findings suggest endurance improvements, regardless of competition level, training experience and participants’ age. Hence, the study represents a good framework, however, future studies are necessary, in order to fully understand the results mechanisms.
