Introduction: It is notorious that there are differences in relation to the biological composition between men and women, especially when we refer to physical performance, in which the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics are observed distinct between the sexes, even more, when it comes to the use of markers biochemicals related to the performance of female athletes. Objective: To elucidate the main biochemical markers that are related to performance in female athletes. Methods: The reflective theoretical path presented in this theoretical essay on health, outlined here on biochemical markers related to female performance, is based on a scientific literature review, as well as on national and international documents that addressed the issue in question. Results: The scientific evidence presented in the selected studies allowed us to present data regarding the anatomophysiological effects of training on female athletes and on the main biochemical markers: Creatinokinase (CK), C-Reactive Protein, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Erythrocytes, Hematocrits, Hemoglobin, Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone, which suffer direct action according to the volume x training intensity, as well as the athlete's menstrual cycle. Conclusion: The scientific evidence presented during the study elucidated the main anatomo-physiological and biochemical differences between men and women and how they directly interfere, from the training process to performance, with no consensus on physiological parameters and specific biochemical markers for female athletes.
