In recent years, battle rope (BR) training has increased its popularity in various populations, from fitness trainees to athletes to increase their strength and conditioning performance. However, research status, training methods, acute effect, and long-term effects for battle rope was not reviewed. Consequently, this article investigated the research status, training methods, acute effects, and long-term effects of BR training through a systematic review. The search results had 20 literature (15 journal paper, 5 master’s thesis); in which, the studies of acute effects mostly explored the effect of BR exercise on cardiopulmonary, blood lactate, and rating of perceived exertion, while the study of long-term effects mostly discussed the effects of battle rope training on aerobic capacity, anaerobic power, muscular endurance, and explosive force. In past studies, BR training uses ropes of 12-15 m in length, 3-5 cm in diameter, and 9-18 kg in weight and set durations usually range from 15-30 seconds, with rest intervals of 15-120 seconds. Battle rope exercise is physically demanding on the upper body and trunk muscle, resulting in increased cardiopulmonary and blood lactate levels and decreased performance in upper-body and trunk muscles. After long-term training, BR training effectively improves upper-body in anaerobic power, muscular endurance, and power, trunk muscular endurance, lower-body power, and aerobic capacity. This training is one of the appropriate options to develop multi-physical fitness simultaneously. This article suggested that future studies can investigate the effects of different battle rope training protocol (rope sizes, BR exercises, time and number of sets) to find out better training designs. Moreover, it are topics studied in the future that the reasons and mechanism for the effect of the battle rope training and how to quantify the intensity of the battle rope training.
