Eleven senior players participated (25±3 years; 188,7±4,7 cm; 90,6 ±10 Kg) in this study. The season was divided into three training periods, each of eight week, to test different methods of strength training. The results show that strength training based on the contrast static - dynamic combined with technical- tactical training during the competitive season is more effective (p=0.033) that only the realization of maximum strength training combined with peak power for improving throwing velocity.
