Influence Of Opposition On Ball Velocity In The Handball Jump Throw The current findings suggest that elite male handball players can improve ball velocity, anthropometrics, maximal upper-body strength, and power during the competition season by implementing a medicine ball throwing program. No significant changes for the control group were found. Throwing ball velocity, maximal strength, power, and muscle volume increases for the specific resistance training group after the 8 weeks of training, whereas only maximal strength, muscle volume and power and in the jump throw increases were found for the regular throwing training group. Power was measured by measuring total distance thrown by a 3-kg medicine ball overhead throw. Handball throwing velocity was measured by a standing throw, a throw with run, and a jump throw. Anthropometry was assessed by body mass, fat percentage, and muscle volumes of upper body. One repetition maximum (1RM) bench press and 1RM pullover scores assessed maximal arm strength. Over the 8-week in season, the athletes performed 3 times per week according to an assigned training program alongside their normal team handball training. Thirty-four elite male team handball players (age: 18 Â± 0.5 years, body mass: 80.6 Â± 5.5 kg, height: 1.80 Â± 5.1 m, body fat: 13.4 Â± 0.6%) were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 groups: control (n = 10), resistance training group (n = 12), or regular throwing training group (n = 12). The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a specific resistance training program ( throwing movement with a medicine ball) with that of regular training ( throwing with regular balls) on ball velocity, anthropometry, maximal upper-body strength, and power.

Data on competitive sand volleyball players who performed a medicine ball throw and a standard countermovement jump indicated that the medicine ball throw test was a valid and reliable way to assess explosive power for an analogous total-body movementâ€¦Ĭomparison of In-Season-Specific Resistance vs. Haennel, Robert G.Įvaluated the validity and reliability of a medicine ball throw test to evaluate explosive power. Validity and Reliability of a Medicine Ball Explosive Power Test.

Medicine ball training exercises seem to be a useful and inexpensive strength training strategy in enhancing functional performance by closely mimicking sport-specific movement activities. Results showed a significant group Ã- time interaction in throwing velocity (p handball players, whereas throwing precision remained unaffected. Both groups, TG and CG, also conducted a supervised shoulder injury prevention program with elastic tubes, as part of the warm-up, finishing with regular handball throws. TG performed a supervised MBT program, 3 times a week for a total of 6 weeks, focusing on handball-specific movement patterns. Twenty-eight players (mean Â± SD age: 20.8 Â± 3.3 years, height: 170.5 Â± 5.6 cm, body mass: 65.2 Â± 8.0 kg) were randomly assigned to an MBT group (TG n = 15) and a control group (CG n = 13). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of medicine ball training (MBT) on throwing velocity, throwing precision, and isokinetic strength of shoulder rotators in competitive female handball players. Raeder, Christian Fernandez-Fernandez, Jaime Ferrauti, Alexander Participants performed trials of the medicine ball chest throw and vertical jump, with vertical jump peak power calculated via an estimationâ€¦Įffects of Six Weeks of Medicine Ball Training on Throwing Velocity, Throwing Precision, and Isokinetic Strength of Shoulder Rotators in Female Handball Players. One hundred and ninety adolescents participated in this study. This study examined the predictive ability of the medicine ball chest throw and vertical jump for muscular strength and power in adolescents.
