Impact of Hip Strength Training on Jump and Throw Performance in Young Female Handball Players
Sponsor: Istanbul University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of an 8-week Hip Strength Exercise Training program, implemented in addition to the athletes' regular training routines, on hip muscle strength, jump distance, and three-step jump shot performance in female handball players aged 15 to 19. Furthermore, the study seeks to explore the potential relationships between throwing performance and various physical parameters, including anthropometric measurements, handgrip strength, and body fat percentage.

Exercise
Participants in the Hip Strength Exercise Training group performed structured hip strengthening exercises using resistance bands in addition to their regular handball and strength training programs. The training was implemented three times per week for 8 weeks, with one rest day between sessions, and was conducted before regular handball practices. The exercises focused on activating and strengthening the hip muscles through simple, well-structured movements. Resistance bands were chosen due to their portability, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for adolescent athletes. This method ensured a safe training environment, reduced the risk of overload, and allowed for proper execution and control of the exercises.
