“…Accordingly, when we adjusted bone analysis for LST, the differences between the handball group and control group disappeared at baseline. These findings are in agreement with some cross-sectional studies, which found association between handball practice with increased physical fitness, lean mass and bone mass 10,15,16,22,23 . Subjects in the handball group had practice in this sport at least six months before the study begin, which may explain these differences between groups at baseline.…”

“…These data are in agreement with other cross-sectional studies, in which higher bone quality 22 and bone density 23 values were observed when compared to adolescents of the same age (control group). Studies also demonstrated that handball players have higher BMD and BMC when compared to sedentary individuals with the same age and sex 10,15,16,24 .…”

“…The effects of the sports practice on BMD are different according to each sport [8][9][10] . Weight-bearing activities have a great importance to increase regional bone mass, mainly in those regions where activities induce great impacts 11,12 .…”

“…Also, handball presents upper limbs actions, such as of throwing, blocking and defensive actions, resulting in osteogenic reactions in the axial and appendicular regions 15 . It is well established that girls at the puberty stage that practice handball present higher bone health compared with those that do not practice the sport 10,15,16 . However, these are cross-sectional studies, and a longitudinal analysis with handball young players is needed in order to understand the changes on the variables among subjects who are enrolled in a sport program.…”

A strategy to prevent bone loss diseases (i.e., osteoporosis) would be to enhance the increase of bone mass during childhood and adolescence. The purpose of this study was to compare bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) between female adolescent handball players and peers who did not play (control group), and to assess the changes in BMD and BMC after eight-months of competitive period. Fifty-eight female adolescents (12–17 years old) were allocated into two groups: handball players (HG: n = 27) and control group (CG: n = 31). BMC and BMD were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and z-scores were calculated. Sexual maturity, menarche, peak height velocity (PHV), sun exposure and calcium intake were assessed. At baseline, the handball players showed greater BMC and BMD than control group (p < 0.05). These differences between groups disappeared after adjusting for weight, BMI, menarche and lean soft tissue. After competitive period, significant time-effects for BMC and BMD of total TBLH and lumbar spine (p < 0.01) were observed in the handball players. HG increased BMC and BMD of total body and lumbar spine after eight-month. The Z-score analysis showed significant group effects with greater BMD of total body, lumbar spine, femur and hip than control group. The results showed that after eight-month competitive handball period, there was an increase in BMD of total body for handball players.

“…Zouch et al (2008) conclude that bone mass is higher in those bones that support the impacts and changes of directions, as it happens in sports such as handball, basketball and soccer, which affirms the results of this research which confirm that bone content of volleyball players is slightly lower than of the players of other three mentioned sports. Ubago-Guisado et al (2015) also describe soccer, basketball and handball as the sports of high impact, which show higher values compared with other. However, it is interesting that the percent of fat content in the body of handball players is insignificantly higher than the percent of fat content in the body of subjects from other group.…”

MASANOVIC, B.Comparative study of morphological characteristics and body composition between different team players from Serbian junior national league : soccer, handball, basketball and volleyball. Int. J. Morphol., 37(2):612-619, 2019. SUMMARY:The purpose of this study is to define every subsample with precision, to give an overview of the importance of the differences between different team players, as well as to point to the closeness along with the remoteness between them, and finally, to determine latent anthropologic characteristics which, when in interaction, contribute to significant differences and better comprehension of the specifics of every mentioned sport. Sixty-seven males were enrolled in the study, divided into four groups: twenty-five soccer players, fifteen handball players, thirteen basketball players and fourteen volleyball players. All subjects were assessed for the anthropometric measures required for the calculation of body composition variables, using the standardized procedures recommended by the established literature. Data was analysed using SPSS and the descriptive statistics were expressed as a mean (SD) for each variable, while the ANOVA and LSD Post Hoc tests were carried out to detect the effects of each type of sport, distinct features that have been identified by calculating the discrimination coefficient have determined the specifics of the subsamples, and their grouping was demonstrated by calculating Mahalanobis distance. The results showed that a significant difference was found for body height, body weight, muscle contents of body, fat contents of body, residue mass, ideal body mass and lean body mass. There is no significant difference in the body mass index and bone contents of body. It was confirmed that there is a clearly defined line between the players in different sports and it is possible to determine the characteristics of players of each sport. The results also indicate that the least amount of differences appears between volleyball and basketball, and that the sports that are most apart are volleyball and handball. Therefore, these findings may give coaches from the region a more precise top soccer, handball, basketball and volleyball player profile, and suggest them to follow recent selection process methods and be more careful during talent identification.

Adolescence is a crucial period for bone development, and exercise can enhance bone acquisition during this period of life. However, it is not known how the different loading sports practiced can affect bone acquisition in adolescent male athletes. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine the 1-year longitudinal bone acquisition among adolescent males involved in osteogenic (football) and non-osteogenic (swimming and cycling) sports and to compare with active controls. A total of 116 adolescent males aged 12 to 14 years at baseline were followed for 1 year: 37 swimmers, 37 footballers, 28 cyclists, and 14 active controls. Bone mineral content (BMC) was assessed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); cross-sectional area (CSA), cross-sectional moment of inertia (CSMI), and section modulus (Z) at the femoral neck was assessed using hip structural analysis (HSA); and bone texture of the lumbar spine was assessed using trabecular bone score (TBS). Serum N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I (PINP), isomer of the Carboxi-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX-I), total serum calcium, and 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] were analyzed. Footballers had significantly higher adjusted BMC at the lumbar spine (7.0%) and femoral neck (5.0%) compared with cyclists, and significantly greater BMC at the lumbar spine (6.9%) compared with swimmers. Footballers presented significantly greater TBS (4.3%) compared with swimmers, and greater CSMI (10.2%), CSA (7.1%), Z (8.9%) and TBS (4.2%) compared with cyclists. No differences were noted between cyclists and swimmers, both groups had similar bone acquisition compared with controls. PINP was significantly higher in footballers and controls compared with cyclists and swimmers (3.3% to 6.0%), and 25(OH)D was significantly higher in footballers and cyclists compared with swimmers and controls (9.9% to 13.1%). These findings suggest that bone acquisition is higher in adolescent male footballers compared with swimmers and cyclists at the femoral neck and lumbar spine sites of the skeleton. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
