女性運動在各項運動中普遍增長，其中籃球係我國是最受矚目的運動項目之一。女子籃球並非像男子籃球發展的如此順利，對於過去針對女性角色的刻板印象及社會期待，使得女性在參與競技運動時，受到多重阻礙，甚至影響運動參與的機會。對於女性運動員來說，除了一份對運動的執著與熱忱外，社會支持的力量更是讓女性運動員維持運動的動力。研究內容主要包括三方面：女籃選手培訓與困境、社會支持重要性與社會支持來源影響分析。本文研究方法，是以文獻整理探討與歸納分析方式，進行女子籃球選手社會支持與運動參與之回顧，分析社會支持對運動參與之影響，並將其文獻分類與彙整，以利於填補其相關之研究缺口。本文研究最終目的，是希望喚起各界對選手多加支持與重視,提供關心女籃發展熱心者及各級教練訓練、輔導與後續學術參考。
