Effect of concentric exercise-induced fatigue on proprioception, motor control and performance of the upper limb in handball players.

Background: The last phases of a competitive game are when shoulder injuries most commonly happen, and fatigue is thought to be a major contributing factor, perhaps because of reduced proprioception and motor control. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concentric fatigue on proprioception, motor control, and performance of the upper limb in handball players.

Methods: Forty-six right-handed handball players (all males, age 26.

Experimentally induced pain increases absolute but not relative errors and reduces variability in joint repositioning of the knee joint in healthy participants.

Background: Joint position sense (JPS) plays an important role in knee joint function. Despite the possible influence of pain on the proprioceptive system, the effects of experimental muscle pain on knee JPS have not been studied.

Objectives: To investigate if experimentally induced muscle pain affects knee JPS in healthy participants.

Can resistance training improve throwing performance in handball players? A Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Throwing is one of the most important movement in handball. Throwing performance is crucial for success in handball.

Objective: Τo investigate the level of evidence for the effect of resistance training (RT) on throwing performance in handball players.
