“…According to a report about the relationship between human evolution and throwing motion, progressive thumb opposition and grip movement have led to throwing improvements 18) . A significant correlation between grip strength and throwing ability was also observed for other throwing activities, such as handball 10) and water polo 19) . To increase the throwing distance, it is also necessary to release the ball at an appropriate timing.…”

ABSTRACT. Background : It is important to acquire fundamental movement skills during childhood. Throwing is a representative manipulative skill required for various intrinsic factors. However, the relationship between intrinsic factors and throwing ability in childhood is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate intrinsic factors related to the ball throwing distance of Japanese elementary school children. Methods: Japanese elementary school children from grades 1-6 (aged 6-12 years; n=112) participated in this study. The main outcome was throwing ability, which was measured as the ball throwing distance. We measured five general anthropometric parameters, seven physical fitness parameters, and the Roberton's developmental sequence for all subjects. The relationships between the throwing ability and the 13 parameters were analysed. Results: The Roberton's developmental sequence was the best predictor of ball throwing distance (r=0.80, p!0.01). The best multiple regression model, which included sex, handgrip strength, shuttle run test, and the Roberton's developmental sequence, accounted for 81% of the total variance. Conclusions: The development of correct throwing technique reflects throwing abilities in childhood. In addition to the throwing sequence, enhancement of grip strength and aerobic capacity are also required for children's throwing ability.

“…Total body movement during throwing requires various physical fitness parameters. It has been determined that total body conditions, such as flexibility and endurance, may also be associated with ball throwing 10,11 ) . Appropriate technique also affects ball throwing in childhood.…”

“…Instead of throw velocity (Debanne & Laffaye, 2011), precision, or a comprehensive kinematic description, we focussed on different factors that promote ball release height during a jump throw, because these are important parts of this technique as well (Cardinale, 2014). …”

“…In most cases, these quantities are either measured with radar based systems, or motion capture systems and are thus depending on technical equipment which may be cost-intensive. An interesting alternative approach aims to predict the ball velocity based on anthropometric variab les and strength tests (Debanne & Laffaye, 2011). One conclusion that can be drawn is that a remarkable amount of variance (approx.…”

This study aims to analyse different performance factors of jump throws in team handball. These factors cover anthropometric prerequisites (body height and Standing Reach Height -SRH), general jump abilities (Jumping Reach Height during a countermovement jump -JRH), aspects of the jump technique (Ball Height during a handball specific Jump -BHJ) as well as the throwing technique (Ball release Height during a jump Throw -BHT). 36 male team handball players from three different senior leagues were analysed to quantify the extent to which these components vary with competitive levels and playing positions. Additionally, 30 subjects (highest national junior league) were recruited to examine the appropriateness of the components with respect to predicting ball release heights in jump throws. Results show that SRH, JRH, BHJ and BHT differ significantly between leagues and playing positions. Furthermore, the prediction of BHT based on body height, SRH, JRH, and BHJ explained approx. 62 % of the variance in BHT compared to 15 % explained by the traditionally used jump and reach test (JRT). Thus, the factors measured in the test module seem to capture relevant information regarding the level of expertise and may be strong predictors of ball release height in jump throws. Results are discussed with respect to consequences for training and coaching in team handball.

“…Au niveau des élites féminines, une étude très récente [11] confirme ces résultats avec une puissance musculaire supérieure aussi bien pour les bras que pour les jambes. Cette étude souligne par ailleurs une corrélation significative entre la vitesse de lancer de balle et la puissance en développé couché, confirmant les résultats d'autres études qui ont mis en évidence les liens entre la morphologie, la puissance musculaire et la vitesse de lancer de balle [13,14]. De toute évidence, le développement musculaire permet de créer une différence dans le handball de haut niveau et pas un uniquement pour la puissance de tir.…”

RésuméObjectif. -L'objectif de cette étude est de vérifier, au sein d'une équipe de handball féminin s'entraînant trois fois par semaine, si l'introduction de deux courtes séances de musculation hebdomadaires présente un impact positif sur les qualités physiques des joueuses au cours de l'année.Population et méthode. -Dix-huit joueuses de handball du meilleur niveau beige ont été sui-vies au cours d'une saison entière. Dix de ces filles (groupe «Muscu») ont bénéficié, en plus de leur entraînement normal, de deux séances de musculation hebdomadaire d'une durée de 30 minutes. Les autres (groupe «Contrôle») ont suivi le même entraînement, sans les séances de musculation. Une batterie de tests (puissance des jambes, puissance des bras, détente verticale, sprint, lancer, souplesse) a été mise en place, à quatre reprises au cours de la saison, afin d'examiner l'évolution des performances musculaires.Résultats. -Conformément à la littérature, le groupe «Contrôle» ne montre aucune modification de performance au cours de l'année. Les résultats du groupe « Muscu » montre, en revanche, que les séances de musculation ont été bénéfiques, avec des améliorations significatives, pour la puissance des jambes (p < 0,005) et le sprint (p < 0,05). L'amélioration de la détente se rapproche du seuil de signification (p = 0,06) et la puissance des bras apparaît supérieure en fin d'année comparativement au groupe «Contrôle». Mots clés : Musculation ; Entraînement ; Handball ; Préparation physique ; Suivi longitudinal SummaryIntroduction. -The aim of the study was to verify, in a non-professional handball female, if the introduction of two short workouts per week during all season has a positive impact on muscular performance.Methods. -Eighteen female playing handball at the top Belgian level were monitored during the complete season. Ten of these girls ("Muscu" group) achieved, in addition to their usual training, two short (30 minutes) strength training sessions weekly. The other ("Control" group) followed the usual training, without any strength training session. A battery of tests (leg power, arm power, vertical jump, sprint, throwing, flexibility) has been set up to four times during the season to follow up muscular performance.Results. -According to the literature, the "Control" group showed any change in performance during the year. By contrast, "Muscu group results demonstrated that the short strength training program was efficient, with significant improvements in leg power (P< 0.005) and sprint (P<0.05) tests. Increase in vertical jump was very close to the level of significance (P = 0.06). Arms power did not improve but appeared to be superior in the "Muscu" group in comparison with "Control" at the end of the season, which was not the case at the beginning.
