OBJECTIVE The project aimed to implement neuromuscular training during a full soccer and handball league season and to experimentally analyze the neuromuscular adaptation mechanisms elicited by this training during a standardized sidecutting maneuver known to be associated with non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. DESIGN The players were tested before and after 1 season withou...

250 words) The purpose of the study was to assess the within-session and between-session reliability of knee kinematics and kinetics in a vertical drop jump task among elite female handball and football athletes. Specifically, we aimed to quantify the within-session waveform consistency and between-session consistency of the subject ranking for a variety of knee kinematics and kinetics. Forty-o...

The jump throw is the most applied throwing technique in team- handball (Wagner et al., 2008); however, a comprehensive analysis of 3D-kinematics of the team-handball jump throw is lacking. Therefore, the purpose of our study was: 1) to measure differences in ball release speed in team- handball jump throw and anthropometric parameters between groups of different levels of performance and (2) t...

This study aims 1--to describe and compare the anthropometric characteristics of male handball players from different levels of performance, and 2--to identify the morphological variables that allow differentiation of the level of performance for each individual playing position. A total of 212 male handball players (age, 23.6 ± 5.2 years) were included in this study, and divided into five leve...

The aim of this study was to examine the injury profile Japanese university handball players. In cross-sectional study, a total 1017 participants who played in 2018 National University Handball Championship were followed. incidence within previous year 0.59 [95% CI, confidence interval: 0.56-0.62] per player year. ankle (33.3%), knee (23.6%), and shoulder/clavicle (12.6%) body regions most affe...

Wrist angular kinematics (flexion/extension) and electromyography (EMG) data of a one-handed tennis backhand groundstroke were compared for an elite, intermediate and novice standard tennis player. For this purpose, synchronisation of the data with respect to ball impact time was achieved by a system of wireless and wired triggers and receivers. All three players maintained wrist extension for ...

BACKGROUND Long-term outcome after anterior cruciate ligament injury among top-level pivoting athletes is unknown. PURPOSE To evaluate outcome among competitive team handball players after anterior cruciate ligament injury. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS A previously studied group of 86 elite players who had an anterior cruciate ligament rupture were invited to participate...
