Opis

Handball is a modern ball game which belongs to the family of team sports. It combines the best features of different branches of sport, that is, the advantages of physical abilities, technical skills and tactical knowledge. Traditionally, coaches and trainers have planned conditioning programs for their teams by following regimens used by teams that have successful win loss records. This type of reasoning is not sound because win-loss records alone do not scientifically validate the conditioning programs used by the successful teams. In fact, the successful team might be victorious by virtue of its superior athletes and not its outstanding conditioning program. Without question, the planning of an effective athletic conditioning program can best be achieved by the application of proven physiological training principles. Optimizing training programs for athletes is important because failure to properly condition an athletic team results in a poor performance and often defeat. To improve sports performance of handball players different types of training are administered, among which plyometric and speed, agility and quickness (SAQ) training were administered in this study.
