“…However, other articles present more open definitions. This is the case of Ruehlemann et al [ 20 ] (2019) and Monaco et al [ 22 ] define injury as damage that causes absence in training or competition. In the case of Asker et al [ 2 ] and Aasheimen et al [ 1 ] we are told that it causes a moderate or severe reduction in training volume, performance or even total capacity.…”

“…Along these lines, Oshima et al [ 25 ] reported that those players who sustained ACL injuries had poor static balance compared to players who were not injured, concluding that balance training is effective in preventing non-contact ACL injuries. In the study presented by Ruhlemann et al [ 20 ], they evaluated knee stability functionality with a battery of tests, finding that stability differs depending on the position on the field. The results of this study show that the pivot is the player with the best stability values in the two-legged stability test, while in the single-legged balance, it was the wingers who obtained the lowest results.…”

Handball is a team sport involving a great physical demand from its practitioners in which a high number of injuries occur, affecting individual and collective performance. Knowledge of the injuries is of great importance for their prevention. The objective of the present study was to identify, locate and compare the most frequent injuries and injury mechanisms in handball practice. It was carried out following the Preferred Informed Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The source of data collection was direct consultation of the PubMed and Medline databases. Several keywords were used for the documentary retrieval, and the quality of the studies that were selected was evaluated. Of the 707 studies retrieved, only 27 were considered appropriate for the review, and quality scores were obtained that ranged from 10 to 26 points, out of a maximum of 28. The most frequent injuries in handball players are located in the lower limbs (thigh, knee and ankle), and in the shoulder in the upper limbs. Regarding the playing position, the players who play over the 6-m line are the most affected by injuries, while the women players have a higher probability of injury. Most injuries occur during competition.

“…Reasonable test and measures therefore involve tasks in jumping 18 , landing 13 , side-cutting 19 20 and balance 21 22 and are summarized as “functional knee stability” 23 . Unfortunately, scientific studies measuring functional knee stability in an objective manner in handball are lacking 24 25 . Moreover, most of the recent studies in handball examined professional players in national teams or elite divisions of the respective country.…”

The return to sport after knee injury is challenging. This is cruel for sports with a high incidence of injuries, such as team handball. Various tests guide decision making, but often, the athlete`s preinjury performance of these measures remains unknown. Moreover, objective return to sport criteria of a matching population are missing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate objective measures of knee capability in handball depending on players’ age. 261 handball players performed a functional test battery designed to evaluate knee capability after anterior cruciate ligament injury: two- and one-legged stability analysis, jumps, speed tests and agility assessments. For age-specific evaluation, athletes were divided into three age groups (16-19; 20-29; ≥ 30 years). Male players showed a differences in two and one-legged jumping height (p<0.02) as well as power per body weight (p< 0.01) between age groups. Young female players reached better results in two-and one-legged stability. Besides the quick feet test, results of females did not differ between age groups. Functional knee stability in healthy handball players is partly influenced by age, females show better results in stability and male athletes in power measurements. This aspect should be taken into account for return to sports testing and underlines the importance of performance measures in athletic testing.

Purpose Despite the great evolvement of sports medicine, there is still a lack of consensus among sports physicians regarding the decision of return to sports after knee injury, especially in non‐elite sports. Currently, no sport‐specific reference data for an objective reliable evaluation of functional knee stability exist. The purpose of this study was to assess objective measures on knee joint stability from an established test battery in non‐elite handball. It was assumed that players’ knee stability differs depending on their field position. Methods One‐hundred and sixty‐five non‐elite handball players with a mean age of 24.3 ± 5.5 years underwent a test battery including two‐legged and one‐legged stability tests, two‐legged and one‐legged counter movement jumps, two‐legged plyometric jumps, one‐legged speedy jumps, and a quick feed test. Results Athletes’ physical performance differs in terms of field position. Significant differences between handball players of different positions were found in regard to two‐legged stability (p < 0.036) and one‐legged stability in the dominant leg (p < 0.009). Players of different positions differed in ground contact time of the plyometric jumps (p < 0.017), whereas the other functional tests did not show significant differences. Conclusion This study is first to report differences in functional knee stability of non‐elite handball players on the basis of objective data. Significant differences of functional performance were noted, which were in congruence with position‐specific demands. These findings demonstrate the importance of position‐specific screening and training to prevent injuries. Level of evidence II.
