The aim of this study was to examine effects of specific preparation training to the performance in women handball players. Methods: Fourteen women handball players [age(year)=20.2±1.9, height(cm)=170.7±5.5, body weight(kg)=65.8±8.3)] from Turkish Women Handball Super League were voluntarily participated. Body fat percent(BF%), somatotype, sprint variables (10m, 20m, 30m), anaerobic power(AP), anaerobic capacity(AC), squat jump(SJ), countermovement jump(CMJ), lactate threshold(LT), maximal oxygen consumption( VO2max), maximal heart rate MHR) were tested at pre and post specific preparation phases. LT, VO2max, MHR were determined from Modified Shuttle-Run Test(MSRT) (Hazýr, 2000). Subjects`FBLLs(fixed blood lactate levels) were determined from the MSRT. MSRT was started at velocity of 8km/h and in every 3min velocity was increased 1km/h until the exhaustion, with 1min rest intervals for blood sampling from earlobe. Third degree polynomial fit was used to estimate mean running velocities, heart rates, oxygen consumptions of FBLLs at 2mm/L, 3mm/L, 4mm/L, 5mm/L respectively. The players were trained 2 mesocycles training (sprint, strength and power, endurance, and technical-tactical training) for the specific preparation. Each mesocyle included 5 day training period in a week for 3 weeks. The training period included endurance running at FBLLs, weight training, sport-specific strength, sprint running, training, and competition game. Wilcoxin test was used to determine the effects of specific preparation phase training to the performance characteristics. Results: The results show that there were no significant differences between pre and post specific prepation training for AP, AC, BF%, endomorphy, and mezomorphy but woman handball players increased their some performance characteristics. Ectomorphy, 10m-20m- 30m sprint variables, SJ, CMJ, VO2max, running velocities, heart rate, and oxygen consumption at FBLLs were significant differences (p<0.05). Discussion: Specific preparation training resulted in significant increases in sprint variables, squat and countermovement jumps, VO2max, running velocities, heart rate, and oxygen consumption at FBLLs. Such performance characteristics as strength, speed, and endurance that increases have been found in woman handball players (Granados et al, 2007; Gorostiaga et al, 2006). It is concluded that such increases in specific preparation training are likely to be considered advantages to women handball players because these biomotor characteristics give the forceful muscle contractions and also endurance for required in some handball game actions, such as sprinting, throwing, blocking, jumping, pushing.
