20.
To prepare the sportsman for high level
of performance, the scientific and systematic
tag is very important. To impart systematic and
scientific tag following tips are to be followed:1. Talent identification and its development :
21. Every sports has different requirement
for high performance. In Handball we need
the following qualities for good talent.
22.23.
Tall long leg & Arm
36.
a 38.

48.49.
Technically and tactically
50.
d
51. intelligent. 52.
53.
54. To identify the above qualities required
for Handball players, the scientific and
systematic development of talent is very
important. Many top talents burn out
because of early achievement. Coaches
should have patience as tall players need
more time to improve the performance.
2. Planning of Training :
55. It is very important to develop elements
of training systematically. In Handball.
56. Technical and tactical try along with
motor abilities is co-ordinative abilities,
strength etc. as well as the psychological
preparation are to be planned in some
definite proportion and sequence.
57.
58.
59.

60.
61.
3. Safety From Injury :
62.
In Handball the injuries are more
compared to other games / sports. Before
training the players must be physically and
mentally fit. They should know about the
training program one day before so that
they can protect themselves by wearing
suitable equipments.
4. Test & Evaluation :
63.
Periodically there should be tests for
skills and physical qualities as well as
performance should be evaluated in training
matches and in competitions.
64.
Specific Fitness
65.
Playing Handball matches is a specific
fitness training at sub Junior and Junior level.
Keeping in mind the loading factor.
66.
GENERAL FITNESS
67.
Introduction
68.
General fitness is the fitness done on both non
sportsperson and athletes.
69.
For non-sports persons, the general
fitness is mainly to maintain physical and
mental fitness. For athletes general fitness is
very much important to perform the main task
and be ready for the specific.
70.
It consist of warning up where warning
up is done to heat up the body to ready for the
other task.
71.
For Handball, general fitness is very
much important to loosen the joints and to
stretch muscles to prevent injuries.
72.
General fitness can be improved by using
the fine motor abilities such as strength, speed,
endurance, flexibility and co-ordinative abilities.
1. Strength
73.
It is the ability to do any kind of
wrote-out against the resistance some of
the main types of strength are :
74.
(a) General strength, (b) maximum strength and
(c) explosive strength

75.
76.

77.
78.
79. (a)
General Strength :
It is the strength
where we do the workout against normal resistance.
80. e.g. : daily routine workout,
jogging, walking etc. It is not specific for
handball games. It is mainly done by
non-sports persons.
81. (b)
Maximum strength :
Doing any
kind of workout against the
82. maximum resistance is called maximum
strength.
83. To improve maximum strength, given
below are the methods of training: (i)

(c) Explosive Strength:
The ability to
do workout against the resistance
127. with high speed.
128. It can be divided into three parts.
There are:- (i) start strength, (ii) speed
strength and (iii) strength speed.
129.
(i)
Start strength : The ability to
develop the maximal muscle force during the starting
phase of the movement.
130.
(ii) Strength speed : The ability to
overcome heavy resistance with high speed. Also known
as power.
131.
(iii) Speed strength : The ability to
overcome lower resistance with high speed.

It can be
improved significantly through speed in training when we
are under condition of fatigue over a certain distance with a
minimum possible of time.
164. Methods to improve :
165.
-Intensive internal method
166.
-Repetition method
3. ENDURANCE
167. The ability to use the sports movements
with the desired quality and speed under
condition of fatigue.
168. Types :
1. According to nature of activity
a.
Basic Exercise : It is the ability to do sports
movements of general nature under condition of fatigue. It
is the combination of aerobic and unaerobic metabolism.
b.
Specific Endurance : Ability to do sports movements
of a particular sports under condition of fatigue.
4. FLEXIBILITY
169. Flexibility is the ability to execute the
movement with greater amplitude or range.
Flexibility is very important for Handball players.

174.
Methods for improvement of Flexibility :
175.
(i) Ballistic Method : In this method the
joint is stretch rhythmically to its minimum
