“…It has great physical requirements, including the importance of maintaining the fast pace of play by the players and the length of the game time and sometimes extra time after the two teams are tied (Mohamed et al, 2022;Popowczak et al, 2021;Vila & Ferragut, 2019). The performance takes the nature of strength, speed, and common abilities between them due to the various offensive and defensive positions along the match duration (Ameer et al, 2023;Pereira et al, 2018). The handball match requires the player to acquire high physical fitness as well as technical skills and mastery (Antohea et al, 2023;Carneiro et al, 2023;Hermassi et al, 2021), which means the importance of developing speed endurance that helps the player to continue performing skills and its various offensive repetitions throughout the match (Hermassi et al, 2020;Radhi Abdul Hussein et al, 2022).…”

The importance of the research was represented in the preparation of special exercises to develop speed endurance for young handball players, as well as identifying the effect of special exercises in developing speed endurance, passing and shooting performance for handball players. As for the research problem, it was represented in the low level of physical attributes and skillful performance (passing and shooting) from time to time during matches or in their last minutes or in their extra times, if any. As the player becomes in a difficult situation and requires him to perform a high physical and skillful work in front of a low level of speed tolerance, which negatively affects the implementation of his duties at the required speed, especially the attack, which leads to not achieving good results in the match. Accordingly, the researchers set their goals in preparing special exercises to develop speed endurance for young players in handball to develop speed endurance among players. Where the researchers hypothesized that there is a positive effect of special exercises in developing speed endurance, passing and shooting performance for handball players. The researchers concluded that the special exercises were effective in developing speed endurance among the respondents. Which prompted them to recommend the necessity of benefiting from the special exercises in developing the speed endurance characteristic of the junior handball club players, as it is one of the basic physical characteristics in developing offensive skills in handball

Background: Handball affects the spinal anterior–posterior curvatures and disturbs the foot plantar pressure which provides insights into alterations in an individual’s posture. However, little is known about how the mal-alignment affects the distribution of plantar pressure. Objective: To investigate the relationship between the thoracic kyphosis angle, and plantar pressure distribution among handball players. Methods: Sixty male handball players were distributed into two groups based on their thoracic kyphosis angles. Group A: 28 handball players with an angle greater than 44∘ (kyphotic group), and group B: 32 handball players with an angle equal to or less than 44∘ (normal group). The Formetric III 4D spine and DIERS Pedoscan devices were used to measure the trunk anthropometry and plantar pressure distribution. The Pearson correlation test was used to explore the relationship between the kyphosis angle and plantar pressure distribution. Results: Group A was significantly taller, had longer trunk length, greater lumbar lordosis angles, and forefoot plantar pressure (FPP), and less rearfoot plantar pressure (RPP) than group B ([Formula: see text]). They showed a highly significant positive correlation between the thoracic kyphosis angle and FPP, and a highly significant negative correlation with the RPP ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], respectively). There was no correlation between the lumbar lordosis angle and FPP or RPP ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], respectively). Conclusion: Handball players with greater thoracic kyphosis angle have greater lumbar lordosis angle. Increasing the thoracic kyphosis angle is strongly associated with increased FPP and decreased RPP. While there is no relationship between the lumbar lordosis angle and FPP or RPP.
