Effects of 8-Week in-Season Upper and Lower Limb Heavy Resistance Training on The Peak Power, Throwing Velocity, and Sprint Performance of Elite Male Handball Players

Abstract: The aims of this study were to test the potential of in-season heavy upper and lower limb strength training to enhance peak power output (Wpeak), vertical jump, and handball related field performance in elite male handball players who were apparently already well trained, and to assess any adverse effects on sprint velocity. Twenty-four competitors were divided randomly between a heavy resistance (HR) group (age 20 ± 0.7 years) and a control group (C; age 20 ± 0.1 years). Resistance training sessions were perf… Show more

“…The reco mmended form of PRT is a co mb ination of a variety of Oly mpic-style and tradit ional weightlift ing movements and plyometrics [16]. Several studies have previously reported the positive effects of PRT on improvement in strength and performance in athletes [17][18][19][20]. However, it is unclear whether athletes participating in high intensity resistance training such as PRT can obtain cardioprotective health benefits as well.…”

“…L'amélioration de la détente est très proche du seuil de signification statistique (+5%, p = 0,06). Ces résultats confortent certaines études longitudinales en sports collectifs qui ont également constaté des améliorations musculaires à la suite d'un entraînement spécifique [8,35,36] [20,23,37]. Quoi qu'il en soit, les améliorations de la fonction musculaire constatées au niveau du test de presse sont probablement responsables des améliorations observées en sprint et en détente verticale.…”

“…Quoi qu'il en soit, les améliorations de la fonction musculaire constatées au niveau du test de presse sont probablement responsables des améliorations observées en sprint et en détente verticale. De nombreuses recherches confirment ce lien entre amélioration musculaire et amélioration fonctionnelle [19,20,23,[37][38][39]. Dans notre étude, l'effet bénéfique de l'entraînement musculaire semble se marquer plus particulièrement au niveau des membres inférieurs.…”
