Abstract

We investigated the acute effects of a pre-activation protocol performed with a heavy ball on shoulder internal rotator strength and overhead throwing performance in team handball athletes. Pre-activation significantly (p < 0.01) compromised static overhead throw velocity (-2.6 ± 1.3 m.s-1). Shoulder internal rotator strength (measured as isokinetic peak torque at 60o.s-1 and 180o.s-1, isometric peak torque and maximal rate of force development) and dynamic overhead throw performance were not significantly influenced by the pre-activation. The obtained results suggest that the investigated pre-activation protocol does not enhance strength and throwing performance and might compromise static throwing velocity.
