Abstract

By carefully watching the handball games both in the domestic championship and the games from the World and European Championships, we come to the conclusion that great performances are only achieved by teams that have a very good physical training, so implicitly a general and specific motor ability excellently doubled by a preparation on training factors: technical, theoretical, tactical and psychological. The choice of plyometric exercises must imitate handball skills, to maximize the strengthening of the muscles that trigger the movement and, in certain cases, to generate "motor memory", consolidating the technical skills involved.
