Comparison of physical conditioning status of the firs and the second league male handball players

The main goal of this research was to determine general and partial differences in physical condition status between first and second league male handball players. Battery of 15 functional-motor tests was assessed on a sample of 13 First league and 21 Second league handball players. By analysis of variance statistically significant multivariate differences were determined (Wilks λ =0, 03 ; p=0, 00). The greatest statistically significant univariate difference in favour of first league players were determined in frontal agility (MAG9NN), explosive power of throwing type (MESBML3) explosive power of vertical jumping type (MESCMn ; MESSJn), repetitive power of arms and shoulders (MRSBP7)and relative power of lower trunk (MRSPT6), and to a lower extend in reaction and explosive power of sprinting type (MESP05, MESP20M). Statistically significant differences in favour of second league players were determined in flexibility of hamstring and back. Differences are not statistically significant in variables estimating lateral agility, part of power of sprinting type (MESP10), variant of explosive power of jumping type (MESMAKn), flexibility of arms and shoulders (MFLIP), speed endurance (MBI300Y), and static power of the lower trunk (MSSEL).
