Abstract
Abstract. The growing importance of physical preparation in the training plans of handball coaches must be the basis for consolidation and improvement during the specific training of junior handball players. The higher the motor indicators, the higher the difference between the technical and tactical skills of junior handball players in terms of achieving maximum efficiency. The research took place over an eight-month period. The research participants were 32 U17 junior handball players aged 15 and 16 years. They were divided into two groups as follows: the experimental group, consisting of 15 handball players from the Bucharest Municipal Sports Club, and the control group, consisting of 17 handball players from the Bucharest School Sports Club No. 2. The methods used for the experimental group included set training circuits performed in the corresponding part of basic training. Each training circuit was introduced systematically and quantifiably for 15 minutes, three times a week on successive days and according to the training period covered by the U17 male handball team. The training of the control group was based on traditional methods provided in the annual training plan. Throughout this period, the specific physical training parameters of the experimental group were influenced by the chosen training methods: for speed endurance in different directions and at different angles with forward, backward and lateral movements; for the ability to rotate in different directions and at different angles with an emphasis on execution speed, acceleration speed, speed endurance, agility and body control.
Highlights
At this age, the psychophysiological and neurological processes become stable and help growth and the alactacid anaerobic effort is well tolerated, which is why the training programme is based on exercises aimed at developing repetition speed, execution speed, movement speed, speed endurance and less on pure speed
The diversity of materials used in this physical training programme aimed to modernise and diversify the training process in order to capture attention while motivating athletes
The variety of methods included in the programme improved the training of male U17 handball players by increasing the specific indices of speed endurance, coordination, agility, orientation and body control
Summary
Professional handball remains the breeding ground for novelty and creativity. Performance has reached unforetold levels and is continuously trying to keep up with the great scientific achievements in the field. Modern handball is a dynamic and spectacular sport due to the combination of technique and endurance, reaction speed, explosive power, coordination and agility and courage and commitment. Handball is characterised by frequent changes in intensity, high demands on specific techniques, tactics and cognition as well as strong physical confrontations during game play. The large number of elite competitions requires players with high levels of physical performance. Physical training in the game of handball is essential for improving performance in competitions, facilitating optimal recovery between competitions and workouts and preventing injuries.
