Physical structure plays in important role in handball as well in terms of performance just like in all other sports. In handball, grip strength is important in catching and throwing the ball. In handball, hand grip strength affects the performance in terms of controlling the ball both in defense and attack, gripping it with the hand and being able to do manage strong goal kicks. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the anthropometric parameters and hand grip strength of female handball players aged 12-14. A total of 58 female athletes (age average: 12.80±1.31 years) who play handball in the various sports clubs in the cities of Ankara and Kastamonu. The height and body weight of the athletes were measured, their Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated and right and left hand finger and hand lengths; arm, forearm, leg and thigh lengths; wrist, elbow, waist, hip, knee and ankle girth and hand grip strength were measured. In order to analyze the correlation between the data, the Pearson Correlation test was used. As for the statistical significance levels, (p<0.01, p<0.05) values were taken into consideration. The SPSS 20 software was in the statistical calculation of the data. A positive and significant relationship was determined between the athletes' right hand grip strength and age, height, body weight, right hands' 5 fingers, full arm, front arm and all leg lengths, elbow, hip, calf, knees and hand and between the left hand grip strength and age, height, body weight, left hand's 5 fingers, full arm, front arm and all leg lengths, elbow, hip, wrist and ankle (p<0,01; p<0,05). As a result, it was seen in the study that in handball in which throws and catches are important, there is a positive and high relationship between the female athletes' hand grip strength and their finger lengths, arm and leg lengths, calf, elbow and wrist girth in this age group.

Background and Objective: Explosive and rapid strength are important for performance in volleyball and handball. increased explosive and rapid strength improves performance. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between agility, back-leg strength and vertical jump values of female volleyball and handball team athletes. Method: The study sample consisted of 10 female volleyball players and 10 female handball players from the city of Ordu. The mean age, height and weight of the volleyball players were 19.10±1.72 years, 173.20±5.02 cm and 61.40±6.67 kg, respectively. The mean age, height and weight of the handball players were 18.50±0.97 years, 163.90±5.58 cm and 56.50±6.25 kg, respectively. Agility, back-leg strength and vertical jump were measured using the Illinois Agility Test, Bravomed dynamometer and Vertec, respectively. The two sport branches were compared. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in agility and back strength values between volleyball and handball players (p> 0.05). Handball players had higher leg strength but lower vertical jump values than volleyball players (p <0.05). Conclusion: Agility, back-leg strength and vertical jump values vary according to the technical and tactical characteristics required by volleyball and handball. Volleyball players have to jump most of the time, and therefore, their training focuses on developing vertical jump, which accounts for the fact that they have higher vertical jump values than handball players. On the other hand, handball players use the upper extremity muscles as well as the lower extremity muscles to jump, which accounts for the fact that they have higher leg strength values than volleyball players.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed at examining the impacts of trainings conducted through Combined Training and Classical Training methods in the pre-season period, which is the most important phase of the work load of the whole season, on some selected physical and physiological parameters of the handball players. Method: The pre-season preparation period trainings, which were designed as a combined training, were applied to the subject group 6 days a week, and 8-10 times a day (120 mins/day) for 8 weeks, during the pre-season preparation period. As per the control group, they attended the pre-season preparation period trainings, which were designed as a classical training, for 4 days a week and 6 times a day (12 mins/day). The statistical results were calculated through the IBM statistics data editor package program. Results: When the results of the research were evaluated, it was determined that there was statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test values of the group using the combined training method for the 30 meter speed test, cooper test, and right hand grasping power values; When the heart rate variable of the study was examined, it was determined that there was statistical significance in the maximum heart rate and anaerobic threshold values of the group using the classical training method. As per the group using the combined training method, there was statistical significance in the aerobic threshold capacity values. Although there were differences for the body composition measurements and elasticity values, there was statistically no significance. Conclusion: As the conclusion, when the findings of the study are examined, it is thought that starting with the classical training method and choosing the combined training method towards the end of the preparatory season will be more beneficial for the development of athletes.
