Key Points This systematic review identified inconsistencies in the intensity zones and intensity thresholds adopted within and between popular monitoring technologies (i.e., video-based TMA, microsensors, and LPS) in the basketball literature. Across the existing research using different technologies to monitor external load using intensity zones in basketball, studies have frequently quantified only high-intensity activities, relied on manufacturer settings to set intensity zone thresholds, and sparingly included relative intensity zones. Further research encompassing expert input alongside validation work is needed to identify best-practice approaches that guide end-users in setting external load intensity zones and intensity thresholds in research and practice.
