Abstract
The purpose of this research is to create a physical profile of the handball player. The results of 133 handball players from the first two leagues of Romania were analyzed. The players in the first league are taller, heavier, but without significant differences from those in the second league in body fat or muscle mass. The developed explosive force (SJ, CMJ and FJ) indicated close values. Spine mobility is superior to second league players. The maximum oxygen consumption is higher in the first league players (56.24±0.53 ml/kg/min). The results indicated the need for superior anthropometric characteristics for the first men’s handball league, but also physical characteristics that would give players a great capacity for effort
Highlights
The game of handball is a sport characterized by a sustained effort, divided into motor actions involving acceleration, deceleration, sprints, changes of direction, throws, jumps, direct contact with the opponent, etc

Summary
The game of handball is a sport characterized by a sustained effort, divided into motor actions involving acceleration, deceleration, sprints, changes of direction, throws, jumps, direct contact with the opponent, etc. Determining exactly the rigors of the current game is impossible, given that we are analyzing a complex, dynamic and constantly changing sporting activity in order to maintain the growth of human performance in performance sports. 1“Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi, Faculty of Physical Education and Sports 2The Centre of Interdisciplinary Research in Human Motricity Sciences.
