Handball is a team sport that has experienced considerable global growth, driven by its dynamic gameplay and strong competitive appeal. To sustain this progression and enhance overall performance quality, ongoing efforts continue to focus on developing technical skills, refining offensive and defensive tactical strategies, and improving players’ physical conditioning. Modern handball places high physical and physiological demands on athletes, requiring repeated intense muscular efforts throughout increasingly frequent and competitive tournaments. These conditions can affect players’ physical readiness as well as their psychological state.
