This study aimed to investigate relationships between peak power (PP) as measured by upper limb (PPUL) and lower limb (PPLL) force-velocity tests, maximal upper limb force assessed by 1 repetition maximum bench press (1RMBP), and pullover (1RMPO) exercises, estimates of local muscle volume and 3-step running handball throwing velocity (T3-Steps). Fourteen male handball players volunteered for the investigation (age: 19.6+/-0.6 years; body mass: 86.7+/-12.9 kg; and height 1.87+/-0.07 m). Lower and upper limb force-velocity tests were performed on appropriately modified forms of a Monark cycle ergometer, with measurement of PPUL and PPLL, and the corresponding respective maximal forces (F0UL and F0LL) and velocities (V0UL and V0LL). T3-Steps was assessed using a radar Stalker ATS system. Muscle volumes of the upper and lower limbs were estimated with a standard anthropometric kit. T3-Steps was closely related to absolute PPUL and to F0UL (r=0.69, p<0.01 for both relationships). T3-Steps was also moderately related to 1RMBP and 1RMPO (r=0.56, p<0.05; r=0.55, p<0.05 respectively), and to PPLL and F0LL (r=0.56, p<0.05; r=0.62, p<0.05, respectively). When PPLL was expressed per unit of limb muscle volume, the relationship with T3-Steps disappeared. This suggests the importance of muscle volume to performance in throwing events. Force-velocity data may prove useful in regulating conditioning and rehabilitation programs for handball players. Our results also highlight the contribution of both the lower and the upper limbs to handball throwing velocity, suggesting the need for coaches to include upper and lower limb strength and power programs when improving the throwing velocity of handball players.
本研究旨在探究上肢（PPUL）和下肢（PPLL）力量-速度测试的峰值功率（PP）与1 次重复最大卧推（1RMBP）和过顶推举（1RMPO）测试评估的最大上肢力量、局部肌肉体积和 3 步跑投球速度（T3-Steps）之间的关系。14 名男性手球运动员自愿参加了这项研究（年龄：19.6+/-0.6 岁；体重：86.7+/-12.9kg；身高 1.87+/-0.07m）。在适当修改的 Monark 自行车测力计上进行了下肢和上肢力量-速度测试，测量了 PPUL 和 PPLL，以及相应的最大力量（F0UL 和 F0LL）和速度（V0UL 和 V0LL）。T3-Steps 使用雷达 Stalker ATS 系统进行评估。上下肢肌肉体积用标准人体测量套件进行估计。T3-Steps 与绝对 PPUL 和 F0UL 密切相关（两种关系的 r 值均为 0.69，p<0.01）。T3-Steps 与 1RMBP 和 1RMPO 也呈中度相关（r=0.56，p<0.05；r=0.55，p<0.05），与 PPLL 和 F0LL 也呈中度相关（r=0.56，p<0.05；r=0.62，p<0.05）。当将 PPLL 表示为肢体肌肉体积的单位时，与 T3-Steps 的关系消失了。这表明肌肉体积对投掷项目的表现很重要。力量-速度数据可能有助于调节手球运动员的训练和康复计划。我们的结果还强调了上下肢对手球投掷速度的贡献，这表明教练在提高手球运动员的投掷速度时需要包括上下肢力量和力量训练计划。
