The Correlations Between Training Load Parameters and Physical Performance Adaptations in Team Sports: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Collating evidence on the relationship between training load and physical fitness adaptations in team sport players can help refine training plans.

Objectives

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to: (i) identify research designs and methods examining the relationship between training load and physical performance in team sport players, and (ii) synthesize key findings, advancing to meta-analysis where correlations could be established.

Methods

Eligible participants were men and women in team sports at least at the trained or developmental level. Studies included had training loads of at least two weeks with pre-post physical performance evaluations. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Study quality was asse
