- Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this systematic review was to analyze studies that investigated serum biochemical markers used to measure internal load in football matches. Method: The review followed the recommendations proposed for PRISMA systematic reviews. The bibliographic review was carried out until May 2023. Searches were carried out in the SPORTDiscus, Scopus, MedLine (via PubMed), Lilacs (via VHL) and Web of Science databases to find studies that analyze biomarkers after football matches with athletes male professionals, where the following data were extracted: author/year, sample size, competitive level, sample characteristics, exposure, analyzed biomarkers and results. The methodological quality was assessed by the Critical Assessment Skills Program (CASP) Tool. Results: Fifteen articles were included in the review out of 1,402 identified in the search. These articles were published between 2008 and 2022 and involved a total sample of 287 football athletes at regional, national, and international levels. Regarding biochemical analyses, 50 different biomarkers were studied, among which creatine kinase was the biomarker most used in studies, along with lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase. Conclusion: The results indicate that football games impact several biomarkers, including those related to muscle damage, hematological response, hormonal variations, immune function, and oxidative stress. Creatine kinase was the most used biomarker due to its greater association with the load imposed by the game in assess muscle damage.
