Overview

Observational analysis quantified peak demands in women's handball, suggesting contextual factors significantly influence performance metrics.

Key Points

  • Wings exhibited the highest peak demands, surpassing pivots across all time windows.
  • Total distance covered decreased by 16-18% from the first to the second half of matches.
  • High-speed running increased by 40-116% during subsequent match halves across multiple time windows.
  • Analyzing position-specific demands aids in designing tailored training and rehabilitation programs.
