Physical Fitness Profile of High-Level Female Portuguese Handball Players
We characterized the physical and physiological profiles of high-level female Portuguese handball players and examined the relationships between their anthropometric characteristics, general motor performance and cardiopulmonary fitness.

description | We characterized the physical and physiological profiles of high-level female Portuguese handball players and examined the relationships between their anthropometric characteristics, general motor performance and cardiopulmonary fitness. Twenty-four high-level female handball players with an average age of 23.6 ± 5.5 years, height of 173.6 ± 5.1 cm and body mass of 72.6 ± 9.1 kg volunteered to participate. A Pearson correlation test was used to assess the relationship between variables. Direct relationships were observed between the players’ height and arm span (r = 0.741), as well as between their squat jump and countermovement jump performances with regard to body mass (r = 0.448 and 0.496, respectively). The 9 m jump shot has a large relationship with the 7 m standing throw (r = 0.786) and between left hand dynamometry and body mass index (r = 0.595). The 30 m sprint has a relationship with the 7 m standing throw (r = −0.526) and the 9 m jump throw (r = −0.551). Oxygen uptake has a relationship with the players’ height (r = −0.482) and time limit (r = 0.513), while the fitness index has a relation to the players’ height (r = −0.488) and arm span (r = −0.422). Our results should be considered when using physical testing to plan optimal physical training regimens in elite team handball. |
