Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Studies show that warm-up programs have a positive effect on sports performance. Warm-up programs are used to prevent possible injuries and to increase sports performance by increasing temperature and flexibility in muscle and connective tissue. Warm-up programs may also cause changes in muscle viscoelastic properties and thus affect performance.
Recently, new approaches have begun to be used in warm-up programs. Some of these are warm-ups with a resistance tire, a medicine ball, and a weight vest. When the literature was examined, the effects of the warm-up program with resistance bands on adolescent handball players were generally examined in the lower extremity, but no study was found examining the effects on the upper extremity. For this reason, the study was designed to examine the effect of elastic band exercises applied to the upper extremity in addition to the traditional warm-up program on shooting performance in adolescent female handball players and the change in the viscoelastic properties of the upper extremity muscle groups.
30 female handball players with an age range of 12-18 years will participate in the research. Athletes will be divided into two equal groups as control and experimental groups in a controlled, randomized manner. The control group will be given a traditional warm-up program 6 days a week for 6 weeks. The experimental group will be given a traditional warm-up program under the same training conditions and additional elastic band exercises. In order to examine the effects of the warm-up programs to be applied in the chronic period, goal shooting, Modified Push Up test, Medicine Ball Throwing test, Upper Extremity Y Balance Test will be performed before training and at the 6th week and muscle viscoelastic properties will be evaluated. At the same time, in order to examine the acute effects, the goal shooting and muscle viscoelastic properties will be evaluated after the first warm-up training.The investigators hope that our study will help coaches and physiotherapists working in this field during the training process by ensuring the active use of a warm-up program with elastic bands in handball players.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
traditional warm-up method specific to handball
Traditional handball warm-up consists of dynamic and static warm-ups and passing and shooting drills.
traditional warm-up method specific to handball
The traditional warm-up program specific to handball consists of 6 basic sections: static stretching, aerobic work, dynamic mobility exercises, passes and crosses, shooting on goal and shooting according to position, and lasts 17 minutes in total.
elastic band exercises added to the traditional warm-up method specific to handbal
Elastic band exercises added to the traditional handball warm-up consists of exercises for the upper extremity muscles that are active during the throw.
elastic band exercises added to the traditional warm-up
The experimental group will be given elastic band exercises for 6 weeks after the static and dynamic exercises in the traditional warm-up and then continue with the warm-up with the ball. The exercise program was planned progressively. The exercises will be done in the first 3 weeks, 2 sets of 10 repetitions with a light resistance band. Then the exercises will be done in 3 sets of 10 repetitions with a medium resistance band. There are 8 band exercises in total.This exercise; Flexion and Extension Exercise in Diagonal Pattern, Internal and external rotation with the arm next to the body and the elbow in 90 degrees flexion, Internal and external rotation with the arm in 90 degrees abduction and the elbow in 90 degrees flexion, Scaption Exercise, Rowing, Biceps and Triceps (elbow flexion and extansion exercise), Wrist Flexors and Extensors (wrist flexion and extansion exercise).
