“…However, some of the studies failed to conduct the experiment with a control group (8,17). Furthermore, the control group did not always perform extra training to the same degree that the training group did (1,3,11,13,16,19). These studies were therefore not taken into account in the overview that is displayed in Table 3.…”

van den Tillaar, R. Effect of different training programs on the velocity of overarm throwing: A brief review. J. Strength Cond. Res. 18(2):388-396. 2004.-Throwing velocity in overarm throwing is of major importance in sports like baseball, team handball, javelin, and water polo. The purpose of this literature review was to give an overview of the effect of different training programs on the throwing velocity in overarm throwing, provide a theoretical framework that explains findings, and give some practical applications based on these findings. The training studies were divided into 4 categories: (a) specific resistance training with an overload of velocity, (b) specific resistance training with an overload of force, (c) specific resistance training with a combination of overload of force and velocity, and (d) general resistance training according to the overload of force. Each category is presented and discussed.KEY WORDS. water polo, team handball, baseball and throwing velocity Address correspondence to Roland van den Tillaar, roland.tillaar@hisf.no.

“…In this group, 4 studies (2,16,21,22) viewed the throwing performance after training with weights of 8-12RM. In all these studies, an increase in throwing velocity after training of 2.4% (16) to 6.9% (2) was reported.…”

“…Resistance training for the average participant should be rhythmical, performed at a moderate-to-slow and controlled speed, involve a full range of motion, and demand a normal breathing pattern during lifting movements. Heavy resistance exercise can cause a dramatic acute increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (Lachowetz et al 1998), especially when a Valsalva manoeuvre is undertaken (ACSM 2002). …”

Clinical Interventions in Aging

Physical exercise is proposed as a highly effective means of treating and preventing the main causes of morbidity and mortality – most of which are associated with aging – in industrialized countries. Low physical fitness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular and all-causes morbidity and mortality; indeed, it is even a predictor of these problems. When properly measured, the assessment of physical fitness can be a highly valuable indicator of health and life expectancy and, therefore, should be performed routinely in the clinical setting. Individually adapted training programs could be prescribed based on fitness assessment results and an adequate knowledge of patient lifestyle and daily physical activity. Such training programs would allow people to develop their maximum physical potential, improve their physical and mental health, and attenuate the negative consequences of aging.

“…Gorostiaga, Granados, Ibáñez and Izquierdo, (2005) and Ortega-Becerra, Pareja-Blanco, Jiménez-Reyes, Cuadrado-Peñafiel and Gonzalez-Badillo (2018) indicate that throwing mechanics, strength and muscular power in the upper and lower body segments are factors that increase speed rates in specific handball throws. To improve throw velocity, different training programs have been carried out focused on both strength and velocity (Potteiger, Williford, Blessing & Smidt, 1992) based on the principle of overloading of the upper body segments (Gorostiaga, Izquierdo, Itralde, Ruasta & Ibáñez, 1999;Marques et al, 2012), and on the principle of specificity with regard to throws in this sport (Lachowetz et al, 1998;van der Tillaar & Ettema, 2003, 2011van der Tillar, 2004;van der Tillar & Marques, 2009).…”

This study compared the effects of training programs based on the repetition of specific throws and non-specific throws with different loads to determine their relationship to throwing velocity in handball players. Twenty-four handball players (age: 21.3 ± 3.5 years; body mass: 83.7 ± 13.5 kg; height: 182 ± 8.4 cm) with experience in this sport (years of experience: 11.5 ± 4.2 years) were divided into 3 groups, each group undertaking a training program with different loads (medicine ball, specific handball ball or tennis ball). Throw velocity was assessed in standing throws from 7 m and 3-step jump throws from 9 m. The results show no significant differences in throw velocity from pretest to posttest between the different experimental groups after participating in the training programs for 4 weeks, indicating that this training period may be too short to induce significant change.
