Acute Effects of Strength Training Programs on Vertical Jump and Technical Actions in Handball during Preseason

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the acute eff ects of hypertrophic strength training programs on the vertical jump and technical actions in small-sided handball games during preseason. 12 senior male players ( M age = 22.2 yr., SD = 3.4) participated in 3 × 3 and 6 × 6 small-sided games preceded by no strength training or upper limbs/ lower limbs/ upper+lower limbs strength training. The results showed that strength training aff ected the vertical jump performance and the eff ectiveness of some skills. The higher physiological stimuli during 3 × 3 games promoted the deterioration of some skills' profi ciency, mainly during small-sided games with preceding strength training. The 6 × 6 games elicited higher cooperation and interaction between players and potentiated the vertical jump performance after strength training. Thus, when training sessions are focused on the development of skills performance, combining hypertrophic strength training with 3 × 3 games may be detrimental. On the other hand, coaches should use strength training before 6 × 6 small-sided games to develop the technical profi ciency in a game context without the impairment of the vertical jump capacity and technical skills.

Performance Factors of Handball: Physiological Demands and Velocity of Ball Throwing

“…Kuvvet antrenmanı sonrasında dikey sıçrama performansı azalmış, ancak 3:3 DAO oyunu ile kombinasyonunda performans düşüklüğü daha fazla olmuştur. Ayrıca kuvvet antrenmanı sonrasında 3:3 DAO sırasında teknik etkinliğin de bozulduğu görülmüştür 75. DAO 3:3 uygulamak fizyolojik yükü artırırken, başarısız atış ve pas hatası, top tutamama gibi teknik elementlerin bozulmasına yol açabilir.…”
