This study evaluated the effect of selective loads periodization on physical performance and biochemical parameters in professional female futsal players during competitive season. Twelve elite female futsal players from Kindermann team (Brazil) participated in the study. Variables of physical performance and erythrogram, leukogram, plasma cortisol, plasma immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the beginning of the preparatory period (PP), in the competitive period (CP) and in the final competitive period (FCP) were evaluated. Using selective loads periodization, all variables of physical performance increased (p < .01) during CP and were maintained during FCP (p < .05). White blood cells did not modify during CP and the increase of FCP in 28% remained within normal ranges. Plasma cortisol also increased during CP (p < .01) and was within the normal ranges during FCP. Plasma IgA also was within the normal ranges during CP and FCP. Selective loads periodization is adequate and attends th...

Manchado, C, Cortell-Tormo, JM, and Tortosa-Martínez, J. Effects of two different training periodization models on physical and physiological aspects of elite female team handball players. J Strength Cond Res 32(1): 280-287, 2018-The aim of this study was to compare training-induced changes in selected physiological and physical team handball performance factors after 2 training periodization models: traditional periodization (TP) vs. block periodization (BP). Eleven female team handball players who played over 2 consecutive seasons for a Spanish first league team were assessed twice per season during a training cycle. On each occasion, participants completed anthropometric, maximal strength, and lower-body power assessments. In addition, incremental tests to determine maximum oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2max), sprint- and sport-specific throwing velocity tests were performed. Block periodization group experienced significantly greater improvements than TP on squat jump (5...
Seasonal Changes in Selected Physical and Physiological Variables in Male Handball Players
2018
Literature search shows that there is a shortage of studies that have investigated the relationships between the physical conditioning markers monitored over the course of a season and the quantitative assessments of training and competition in elite handball players. Thus, the aim of our work was to follow changes in speed, strength, power and endurance of elite male handball players during an entire season. The study was performed within a group of 14 elite male senior handball players who were tested four times during season (T1, T2, T3, T4). The testing consisted of the following procedures: 1) measuring anthropometric characteristics (body height, body weight, body fat, % of fatty tissue), 2) measuring motorical (physical) capabilities (maximal muscle force and power, speed, explosive strength), 3) measuring physiological characteristics (anaerobic capacity, cardiorespiratory endurance). Explosive strength decreased at the end of season compared to the first part of season (T1 vs T4: p = 0.00, T2 vs T4: p = 0.00), as well as the total work done on modified Wingate test (T1 vs T4: p = 0.01). In contrast, blood lactate levels after the third (T1 vs T2: p = 0.00, T1 vs T3: p = 0.02; T1 vs T4:p = 0.00) and fourth (T1 vs T3: p = 0.02) stage of endurance test were the highest at the beginning of the season. Our results suggest that anaerobic capabilities of players were the ones mostly affected by long season and inadequate training program, while on the other side, aerobic capabilities improved by the end of season. Explanation for such results may be found in insufficient strength training or interference of endurance training with strength development.
Effects of an Entire Season on Physical Fitness Changes in Elite Male Handball Players
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2006
Purpose: Fifteen elite male handball players were studied to examine the effects of an entire season of play on physical fitness and throwing velocity. Methods: One repetition maximal bench press (1RM BP), jumping explosive strength, power-load relationship of the leg and arm extensor muscles, 5-and 15-m sprint running time, endurance running, and handball throwing velocity (standing and three-step running throw) were assessed on four times (T1, T2, T3, and T4), during a 45-wk season. Individual volumes and intensities of training and competition were quantified for 11 activities. Results: From T1 to T3, significant increases occurred in free fatty mass (1.4%), 1RM BP (1.9%), standing throwing velocity (6.5%), and three-step throwing velocity (6.2%). No significant changes were observed throughout the season in endurance running and explosive strength-related variables. Significant correlations (P G 0.05-0.01) were observed between strength training time and changes in standing throwing velocity as well as between high-intensity endurance training time and changes in endurance running. In addition, linear inverse relationships were observed between low-intensity endurance training time and changes in muscle power output of the lower extremities. Conclusion: The handball season resulted in significant increases in maximal and specific strength of the upper-extremity but not in the lower-extremity actions. The correlations observed suggest that training time at low intensity should be given less attention, whereas the training stimuli for high-intensity endurance running and leg strength training should be given more careful attention in the full training season program.
Half season changes in physical fitness for the high level handball players
To examine the characteristics and changes in physical fitness (PF) during the half-season period in advanced male handball players (MHP). 32 MHP (National 1st division players) served as the subjects. Herein we observed six morphological (M), two cardiovascular–endurance and six motor-status variables at the beginning (I), at the end of the half-season period (II), and at the end of the competition half-season (III). The differences between I, II and III were analyzed by an analysis of the variance (ANOVA). ANOVA showed significant I-to-II increases (p<0.05) in: cardiovascular endurance, agility and explosivestrength, while most of the measured variables remained unchanged from II-to-III. The pre-competition period led to significant improvements in most of the observed motor and endurance variables, regardless of high fitness level of the subjects. Meanwhile, no significant changes were found in M status supporting the considerations that substantial M changes are usually unexp...
The Effect of 4-week Difference Training Methods on Some Fitness Variables in Youth Handball Players
Handball is a team sport in which main activities such as sprinting, arm throwing, hitting, and so on involve. This Olympic team sport requires a standard of preparation in order to complete sixteen minutes of competitive play and to achieve success. This study, therefore, was done to determinate the effect of a 4-week different training on some physical fitness variables in youth Handball players. Thirty high-school students participated in the study and assigned into the Resistance Training (RT) (n = 10: 16.75± 0.36 yr; 63.14± 4.19 kg; 174.8 ± 5.41 cm), Plyometric Training (PT) (n = 10: 16.57± 0.26 yr; 65.52± 6.79 kg; 173.5 ± 5.44 cm), and Complex Training (CT) (n=10, 16.23± 0.50 yr; 58.43± 10.50 kg; 175.2 ± 8.19 cm) groups. Subjects were evaluated in anthropometric and physiological characteristics 48 hours before and after of a 4-week protocol. Because of study purposes, statistical analyses consisted of a repeated measure ANVOA and one-way ANOVA were used. In considering with pre to post test variables changes in the groups, data analysis showed BF, strength, speed, agility, and explosive power were affected by training protocols (P< 0.05) as well as there is an interaction between training methods and time effect for all variables (P< 0.05). As percentage changes, findings showed there was a significant difference in squat strength, agility, speed, and explosive power (p< 0.05), but no significant difference for BF and chest strength (p>0.05). In conclusion, complex training result in advantageous effect on variables such as strength, explosive power, speed and agility in youth handball players compare with resistance and plyometric training although we also reported positive effect of these training methods. Coaches and players, therefore, could consider complex training as alternative method for other training methods.
Physical and physiological demands of elite team handball
This study aimed to analyze elite team handball physical and physiological demands during match play. Time-motion (N = 30) and heart rate (HR; N = 60) analyses were performed throughout 10 official matches. The defined locomotor categories were standing still, walking, jogging, fast running, sprinting, backwards movement, sideways medium-intensity movement, and sideways high-intensity movement, and playing actions studied were jumps, shots, stops when preceded by high-intensity activities, changes of direction and one-on-one situations. During matches, the mean distances covered were 4,370 6 702.0 m. Around 80% of the total time was spent standing still (43.0 6 9.27%) and walking (35.0 6 6.94%) and only 0.460.31% with sprinting. The most frequent high-intensity actions were stops, changes of direction, and one-on-one situations. Effective mean HR was 157 6 18.0 bmin21 (82 6 9.3% of HRmax), and total HR was 139 6 31.9 bmin21 (72 6 16.7% of HRmax). The HR, time spent in high-intensity activities, frequency of stops, changes of direction, one-on-one situations, and most intense periods of the game were higher during the first half than during the second half (p # 0.05). The opposite was observed for the number of time outs and the time between each change of activity (p = 0.00). Handball is an intermittent exercise that primarily uses aerobic metabolism, interspersed by high-intensity actions that greatly tax anaerobic metabolism. Additionally, exercise intensity decreases from the first to the second half of the match, suggesting that neuromuscular fatigue may occur during the game. The training of elite handball players should comprise exercises targeting the ability to perform specific high-intensity actions throughout the game and to rapidly recover during the less intense periods.
Aim. -The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 16-week strength-training program applied to Chinese soccer players 15-19 years old. Methods. -Twenty-eight Chinese adolescent male soccer players (16.2 years ± 1.1) from Wsports Seven Team took part in this study. During 16 weeks after one-hour football training, the players took part in a supervised strength-training program. This strength-training protocol was administered three times a week, lasted 40 min approximately and in each session they split the muscles trained. On Tuesdays, they would train chest and biceps, legs and shoulder on Wednesday and back and triceps on Friday. In the beginning and after the 16-week intervention, we evaluated body composition, resting heart rate and blood pressure, maximal oxygen uptake, upper body resistance and one maximum repetition in the bench press and lat machine.
The Effect of Physical Condition Training Forms In Soccer Team Performance For The Entire Season
International journal of scientific research, 2012
This study aimed to analyze the effects of a specific physical training season, conducted concomitantly to the State championship, on muscle strength, speed and power in U-19 basketball players (n = 14; 18 ± 1 years old; 86.2 ± 10.2 kg of body weight; 1.92 ± 0.1 m o f height). A double periodization model was used in the physical develop ment program that was divided into the following periods: general preparatory, specific preparatory and co mpetitive. The periodization was planned without any interference of the researchers. At five mo ments of the season (weeks 1, 8, 25, 39 and 49) the fo llo wing parameters were assessed: maximal strength (1RM), sprints over 30 m (nu mber of[NS]; mean speed over 30 meters (V 30). maximal speed[Vmax]; t ime to attain maximal speed[AT]) and ju mps (Squat Ju mp[SJ], counter-movement ju mp without arms[CMJ] and counter-movement ju mp with[CMJA]). The results showed that at the finals of the championship significant increases (p<0,05) in V 30 and AT were observed. The other parameters (1RM, SJ, CMJ, CMJA,Vmax and NS) d id not change throughout the season (p>0,05). Thus, it can be concluded that only the time to attain it (acceleration) and V 30 were sensitive to the training periodization proposed by the technical co mmission during the 49-week co mpetitive season.

The aim of this study was to describe the effects of eight weeks of pre-competitive period preparation (Pc2P) on the isokinetic muscular characteristics in world-class handball players. Nineteen male professional players (age: 26.6 ± 5.4 years) participated in the study. Two bilateral isokinetic tests of knee joint flexors (H; Hamstring) and extensors (Q; Quadriceps) were performed before and after Pc2P to determine the peak torque (PT), the mean power (MP) and the ratios (agonist/antagonist, dominant/non-dominant and combined). For the PT, Q at low angular velocity (60°.s-1) in concentric mode revealed no significant increase for the dominant nor non-dominant legs. For H, results showed a significant increase for both legs (p < 0.001). At the higher angular velocity (240°.s-1), Q was significantly increased for the dominant (p < 0.005) and non-dominant legs (p < 0.002) as well as H for both sides (p < 0.001). Eccentric mode (30°.s-1) showed a significant increase for dominant (p < 0.005) and non-dominant legs (p < 0.01). For MP, results showed significant increase at low angular velocity (p < 0.003) and high angular velocity (p < 0.01) for both legs. In eccentric mode, values showed a significant increase following Pc2P for dominant (p < 0.001) and nondominant legs (p < 0.02). The ratios showed significant increase for the agonist/antagonist ratio (AAR) at 60°.s-1 for dominant leg (p < 0.003) as well as the non-dominant leg (p < 0.01). At 240°.s-1 the values showed a significant difference for both side (p < 0.02). From an injury risk perspective, in addition to optimizing performance, these results demonstrated that eight weeks of Pc2P increased the maximum strength and muscle power of international handball players, even if the ratios of the knee joint muscles did not change during this period.
