Why is it important?

Stronger players have greater performance in all handball-fitness attributes compared with their weaker counterparts.

Perspectives

Handball coaches and strength and conditioning practitioners should aim at the acquisition of high strength levels within their handball teams for achieving a superior on court performance. With this as a goal, strength training should be a vital part of training for all players but mainly for weaker players, who are suggested to spend more training time on resistance training programs aiming in increasing their strength levels and fat-free mass.
