## 5 Conclusions  
After analyzing the results, it can be concluded, for the sample studied, that:  
1. With respect to the weekly load, the more it accumulates, the more days there are between games and after a victory in the previous game. In addition, after a game against a low-level opponent, the weekly load should be higher.
2. The weekly load is directly related to the players' pre-game recovery value. In addition, as the season progresses, the recovery values are lower.
3. If a team plays with a high-level opponent, the pre-game recovery value of the next game will be lower.
4. The players who obtain the highest PIR are those who spend the longest time on the court, the ones who accumulate the most load during the games, and those who have a medium or high experience.
5. The players who obtain the highest PIR are the centers.  
The knowledge that information related to weekly load, game load and pre-game recovery has an impact on the individual performance of female players in basketball should be taken into account by coaches and physical trainers during the planning process. Specifically, they should reduce training sessions as the season progresses, so that in the last weeks of a season they should train less than at the beginning of the season, since the accumulated load at that time will be high. In addition, by knowing which female players give the best performance, coaches can plan game systems so that these players can obtain advantages. In the study conducted, these female players were the pivots.  
For future studies, in addition to the variables included in this research, it would be very interesting to be able to have the information related to the menstrual cycle of the female players, since it has already been shown that it can have an influence on sports performance and should be considered in the processes of training planning and recovery of the female players.
