Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Team Handball 1
Team handball group participants were instructed to perform one weekly 60-min recreational team handball training sessions for 16 weeks.
Recreational Team Handball programme
All training sessions consisted of a standardized 15-min warm-up (running, coordination, strength, flexibility and balance exercises), followed by 3x15-min periods of recreational team handball matches interspersed by 2-min breaks, performed in an indoor team handball court. The matches were played as small and formal game formats (4v4, 5v5, 6v6 or 7v7).
Team Handball 2
Team handball group participants were instructed to perform two weekly 60-min recreational team handball training sessions for 16 weeks.
