Women's participation in field collision sports is growing worldwide. Scoping reviews provide an overview of scientific literature in a developing area to support practitioners, policy, and research priorities. Our aim is to explore published research and synthesise information on the physical and technical demands and preparation strategies of female field collision sports. We searched four databases and identified relevant published studies. Data were extracted to form (1) a numerical analysis and (2) thematic summary. Of 2318 records identified, 43 studies met the inclusion criteria. Physical demands were the most highly investigated (n+=+24), followed by technical demands (n+= 18), tactical considerations (n+=+8) and preparatory strategies (n=1). The key themes embody a holistic model contributing to both performance and injury prevention outcomes in the context of female field collision sports. Findings suggest a gender data gap across all themes and a low evidence base to inform those preparing female athletes for match demands. Given the physical and technical differences in match-demands the review findings do not support the generalisation of male-derived training data to female athletes. To support key stakeholders working within female field collision sports there is a need to increase the visibility of female athletes in the literature.
女性参与野外碰撞运动在全球范围内呈增长趋势。范围综述为发展领域的科学文献提供了概述，以支持从业者、政策和研究重点。我们的目的是探索已发表的研究，并综合有关女性野外碰撞运动的身体和技术要求以及准备策略的信息。我们在四个数据库中进行了搜索，并确定了相关的已发表研究。数据被提取出来形成（1）数值分析和（2）主题总结。在确定的 2318 条记录中，有 43 项研究符合纳入标准。身体需求的研究最多（n+=+24），其次是技术需求（n+= 18）、战术考虑（n+=+8）和准备策略（n=1）。这些关键主题体现了一个整体模型，有助于女性野外碰撞运动中表现和预防受伤的结果。研究结果表明，所有主题都存在性别数据差距，并且缺乏证据基础来为那些为女性运动员准备比赛需求的人提供信息。鉴于比赛需求的身体和技术差异，审查结果不支持将男性衍生的训练数据推广到女性运动员。为了支持在女性野外碰撞运动中工作的主要利益相关者，需要增加文献中女性运动员的可见度。
