Higher education is under constant transformation through the use of new pedagogical
models such as university service-learning (SL). Indeed, there has been an exponential uptake of
university SL, among others, in the field of physical activity and sport (PAS) along with research
examining these practices. However, these initiatives highlight the need to improve the quality of
research in this field. This paper presents a systematic review focused on how research in this arena
has been carried out, examining the following topics: paradigm, methods, instruments, discipline,
limitations, and further research. A total of 45 articles met the inclusion criteria. The results show
that qualitative and mixed methods have experienced an increasing progression. The most recurrent
instruments have been questionnaires, reflective diaries, and interviews. According to the studies
in the sample, the limitations point to research designs and some difficulties that underlie the
pedagogical model itself. Finally, further research calls for longitudinal studies and to deepen the
reflective process. This review identifies some weaknesses and strengths of research in university SL
in PAS that aspire to inform and improve future investigations in this field. [-]
