Effects of unilateral handball training in comparison with effects in sports with dominant bilateral loads in training

The aim of this paper is to determine the differences between the dominant and nondominant side of the body in indicators of motor performance by unilateral and bilateral athletes. 17 subjects were examined (members of the university handball team of the Faculty of Kinesiology) which represented unilateral athletes (in further text – UA) and 14 subjects (swimmers, gymnasts and bodybuilders, all students of the Faculty of Kinesiology) which represented bilateral athletes (in further text – BA). All respondents were male gender and had been tested in 5 tests. Tests were chosen to be the nearest representatives for activities in handball which are the most significant for success in this sport (hypothetical structure of success in handball). The obtained results indicate a significant difference in tests between the dominant and nondominant side both at unilateral and bilateral athletes. By BA statistically significant difference are appearing only in tests throwing the handball ball in sitting position on the ground with legs wide apart and hand tapping. Differences are interpreted by training methods and teaching process at the Faculty of Kinesiology, where BA spent the same training as UA, and UA spent the same training as BA in their parent (main) sport.
