Intermittent training and the morphologic, metabolic and physiologic characteristics of handball

Abstract

The handball is a sport composed of movements of low, medium and high-intensity, alternating moments of effort and rest, intermittent feature of the work, so the importance of such training in sports mode. The handball requires high-level athletes with a morphological, metabolic and physiological specific, that efficiently meets the physical requirements, techniques and tactics of the sport. This study aimed to identify the morphological, metabolic and physiological's handball and investigate the importance of intermittent training in the preparation of that sport. Studies have found that athletes from teams placed well in competitions havea morphological profile topping, whose power and anaerobic capacity is well developed shows of extreme importance to good performance in sports. Already the aerobic capacity helps in times of recovery, which enables the athlete to keep longer a high intensity during the match. In general, the profile of athletes serves as a morphological parameter for the development of strategies and tactics of play. The training should be used in intermittent stages of training by the similarity with the demands of the sport effort, prioritizing the development of anaerobic present especially in decisive moments of the game.
