“…Additionally, in these leagues, a high percentage of physical trainers expressed deficiencies regarding the availability of the players and the time dedicated to the development of their physical condition. The lack of continuity of the physical trainers and the players of these teams during the training makes it impossible to train them adequately 2 , 3 ) and, as a consequence, hinders the optimal development of the physical condition.…”

[Purpose] This study describes and compares the conditioning services of the roller hockey teams of the two most important leagues in Spain: the OK Liga and the First Division. [Subjects and Methods] A survey was administered to the people responsible for physical preparation. The response rate was 93%. [Results] 75% of the OK Liga teams have hired someone full time exclusively for training, with a university degree. The percentage was significantly lower in the First Division, at a 43.7%. A low percentage of the physical trainers continued with their academic training, and the consultation of scientific journals. The main deficiencies are associated with the strength training equipment and facilities. In the First Division teams, significant deficiencies were found in most of the variables associated with the training environment. These results show significant deficiencies in the conditioning services offered by the teams to their players, especially in non-professional and lower performance level teams. [Conclusion] Spanish physical trainers should take advantage of advances in scientific knowledge in the area of conditioning by studying Masters and consulting scientific journals. The clubs directors and/or coaches should be aware of the importance of conditioning to improve the training environment. Both aspects would offer a better training and rehabilitation procedure in the club.

“…In recent years, some researchers used GPS or LPS devices to examine the physical demands of handball [ 7 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. This technology has been used to quantify training sessions [ 7 , 26 ], simulated or friendly matches [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], amateur competitions [ 30 ] and beach handball [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. In the case of training sessions, researchers have tried to determine the physical demands of different small-sided games (3 vs. 3 and 6 vs. 6) [ 7 , 25 ].…”

An understanding of physical demands during official competitions is essential to achieving the highest performance in handball. The aim of this systematic review was to summarise the available scientific evidence associated with physical demands during official competitions in elite handball according to playing positions, competition level and gender. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, 17 studies were selected after a systematic search and selection process of three digital databases: PubMed, Web of Science and Sport Discus. The quality of the selected studies was evaluated using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist; the average score was 18.47 points. The sample consisted of 1175 handball players, of whom 1042 were men (88.68%) and 133 were women (11.32%). The results show that an elite handball player covered on average 3664.4 ± 1121.6 m during a match. The average running pace was 84.8 ± 17.2 m∙min−1. The total distance covered was largely greater in national competitions (4506.7 ± 647.9 m) compared with international competitions (2190.3 ± 1950.5 m) (effect size (ES) = 1.2); however, the running pace did not present any significant difference between the international or national level (ES = 0.06). In regard to gender, the total distance covered was moderately greater in female competitions (4549.1 ± 758.6 m) compared with male competitions (3332.6 ± 1257.7 m) (ES = 0.9), and the running pace was largely greater in female competitions (110.5 ± 7.2 m∙min−1) compared with male competitions (78.4 ± 19.7 m∙min−1) (ES = 1.6). In relation to playing position, backs and wings covered a moderately greater total distance (ES = 0.7 and 0.6) and slightly more meters per minute (ES = 0.4 and 0.2) than pivots. Moreover, the technical activity profile differed between playing positions. Backs performed moderately more throws than pivots and wings (ES = 1.2 and 0.9), pivots exhibited largely more body contact than backs and wings, and wings performed moderately more fast breaks (6.7 ± 3.0) than backs (2.2 ± 2.3) (ES = 1.8). Therefore, this research study provides practical applications for handball coaches and strength and conditioning professionals with respect to designing and implementing more individualised training programmes to maximise performance and reduce injury risk.

“…Com o aumento de força e potência decorrente da utilização do método de treinamento complexo (TC) (EBBEN, 2002;EBBEN & WATTS, 1998;RODEN et al, 2014) espera-se que os atletas também tenham sua capacidade de aceleração aumentada, a qual deverá ser manifestada nos jogos e treinamentos durante o deslocamento do corpo em diferentes direções: para frente, para trás, lateralmente e verticalmente. Tal capacidade de aceleração tem sido medida através de acelerômetros triaxiais que estimam a taxa instantânea de mudança na aceleração em três planos de movimento do corpo (AOKI et al, 2017;BOYD et al, 2011;MARCELINO et al, 2013;MONTGOMERY et al, 2010;NEVILLE et al, 2010;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014;SCHELLING & TORRES, 2016).…”
