| Sumario: | [eng] This doctoral thesis analyses the sport performance of handball players from a multidimensional approach. Making a brief chronology of the evolution of scientific contributions in this sport, we observe that it has been directly related to the advance of technology to measure performance variables, especially internal and external load. In terms of external load, methods have evolved from manual recording to automated monitoring using IMU technology. Observational studies of the tactical component have also been developed to identify factors that influence offensive and defensive performance in different phases of the game. The thesis consists of four scientific studies. The first one described the external loads of elite players according to their position by measuring the load during matches using IMU. The results showed that not all positions should be trained with the same parameters. The second study evaluated the effects of a 9-week training programme performed at home during COVID-19 confinement on the aerobic and jumping capacities of 11 players. The results indicated that individual work maintained jumping but not aerobic capacity. The third study analysed group tactical behaviour in 14 games through observation, looking at relationships between successes, failures and other performance parameters. The results suggested that defensive success in ball retrieval was key to scoring on counter-attacks. The fourth and final study monitored external and internal loading during competitive microcycles of 15 players. The results showed differences in external load by position and between training and competition, but not in perceived internal load. In conclusion, this thesis based on four studies provided applicable knowledge to improve training and competition processes in handball from a multidimensional and integrative approach of performance variables. |
