상세 설명
emale handball requires repeated sprinting, jumping, rapid changes of direction, and unilateral movements that may contribute to the development of lower-limb strength asymmetries. Such asymmetries have been associated with impaired athletic performance and an increased risk of injury. Although unilateral resistance and plyometric exercises have shown beneficial effects individually, evidence regarding the effectiveness of unilateral compound training in female handball players remains limited.
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of a six-week unilateral compound training program on lower-limb strength asymmetry, isokinetic knee extensor and flexor strength, hamstring-to-quadriceps ratios, body composition, sprint performance, change-of-direction ability, countermovement jump performance, and single-leg jump performance in competitive female handball players.
Thirty competitive female handball players were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group completed unilateral resistance and plyometric exercises three times per week for six weeks in addition to regular handball training, whereas the control group continued regular handball training only. Outcome measures were assessed before and after the intervention using standardized laboratory procedures. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of unilateral compound training for reducing lower-limb asymmetry and improving sport-specific performance in female handball athletes.

실험적: Experimental
Participants received a six-week unilateral compound training program three times per week in addition to their regular handball training.
|
Participants in the experimental group completed a supervised unilateral compound training program three times per week for six weeks in addition to their regular handball training.
The intervention consisted of progressive unilateral resistance and plyometric exercises designed to improve lower-limb strength asymmetry, isokinetic muscle strength, neuromuscular performance, sprint performance, change-of-direction ability, and jump performance.

간섭 없음: Control
Participants continued their regular handball training without additional unilateral compound training.
