Maximum Strength Level Of The Wings From The Romanian Handball League

Abstract

The present study aims to evaluate the maximum strength of the wings and then make the difference between those from Romanian Handball League and those from Dinamo Bucharest Club. The sample of participants consisted of 16 male players divided into two groups. The first group included 16 wings (n=16) who participate in the first handball league and the second group included four wing players (n=4), which play for Dinamo Bucharest Sports Club. The maximum strength was measured using maximal repetition (1MR). A series of five 1MR tests were scheduled: Squat, Bench press, Romanian Deadlift, Power clean and Barbell Row. The results of Dinamo Bucharest's wings are superior compared to the results of other wings from national handball league, in four out of five tests. Even if there are differences, they are not statistically significant, p˃0.05 (Squat 144.18±12.15; 96.00±9.83). Nevertheless, the maximum strength of the wing players from the Romanian National League is located at the top of the assessment scales specific to the strength tests. This allowed us to create an overview of the level of handball in our country, regarding the training level of the handball wings.
