Developing Jump Endurance in Handball Players Through Situational Exercises to Improve the Effectiveness of Jumping Activity

Abstract

Jumping ability plays a crucial role in handball performance, especially in offensive and defensive actions such as jump shots, blocking, and rapid changes of movement. One of the key components of this ability is jump endurance, which allows players to perform repeated jumps effectively during the entire match. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of situational exercises in developing jump endurance among handball players. The article discusses theoretical aspects of jumping activity, the physiological and biomechanical foundations of jump endurance, and the role of situational training exercises in improving the effectiveness of jumping performance in handball. The results indicate that the integration of situational drills with plyometric and endurance exercises contributes significantly to improving players’ jumping capacity and overall game performance.
