women's soccer, game analysis, performance analysis, notational analysis, game patternsAbstract
The objective of this systematic review was to analyze the evaluation tools and indicators used to analyze games and training in women's soccer. The PRISMA methodology was followed. After performing the steps of selection and exclusion of articles by the established criteria, 33 studies were included for review. The findings indicate that the main tools used to analyze technical-tactical performance indicators were manual notational systems, AMISCO PRO, SportsCode and InstatScout software, while the physical performance indicators most commonly found were kinematic variables and fatigue assessment, mostly using GPS systems. The variety of tools found for game analysis in women's soccer suggests that there is no consensus in the literature about which tools are most appropriate for the evaluation of specific indicators, such as set pieces, individual technical indicators, etc. In this context, it is necessary to continue analyzing women's soccer in depth.
