Impact of Multiple Training Programs on Physical Fitness, Body Composition, and Performance of Female Handball Players of Bahawalpur City

Abstract

    This study investigates how various training programs affect female handball players' body composition, fitness, and performance. Thirty female handball players (age = 20.14±1.23 years) were equally divided into three groups, such as a specific group, a medicine ball group, and a strength group. The selected variables were endurance, agility, speed, flexibility, vertical jump, skinfolds, girths, breadths, height, and weight. To compare the groups' performance, anthropometric, and physical fitness, ANOVA for statistical analysis. Results showed that the medicine ball training group was significantly higher in elbow angle (P < 0.01), ball speed (P < 0.02), agile ( P < 0.00), hand grip strength (P < 0.01), endurance (P < 0.04), sit-ups (P < 0.04), standing board jump (P < 0.05), 7-meter throw, and reduction in fat percentage than the other training groups. It was concluded that six weeks of medicine ball training enhanced the performance of female handball players.
