Thanks to the psychological resource of creativity, sports have innovated and adapted to changes in recent years. This cognitive and affective strength is now more present in both athletes and clubs. After a systematic review of the bibliography published over the last 25 years through various databases, a manual screening was carried out based on specific selection criteria. This search provided 39 studies addressing the theme of 'creativity and sport' out of a total of 5.174 papers. Although 14 of these 39 studies have limitations that could affect their replicability, or even the quality of their results, it is possible to observe a growing interest of the scientific community in this topic, as well as an increase in the number of articles published that have focused on this subject. Thus, it is possible to conclude that, although the research published to date has opened excellent lines of work and possibilities, it cannot yet be considered as a set of content, structure or relationships shaping a specific sports or motor domain, within the resources of creativity.

Keywords : sport; creativity; systematic review; psychology.
