Abstract: Introduction: Coaches and fitness trainers strive through various testing methods to identify appropriate short-term training techniques to achieve the greatest improvements in athletic performance in the shortest possible time. Therefore, studies are needed to evaluate the effects of handball-specific training on selected physical fitness (speed, agility, explosive power, and explosive arm strength) and physiological variables (body fat, body mass, capacity, maximal heart rate, anaerobic endurance) of handball players. The main aim of this study was to develop a complementary strength training program for the development of physical training of professional handball players at junior level, as well as the selection of a test methods to assess fitness. Materials and methods: The research was conducted over a period of 12 months, and during this time a complementary strength training program was applied on an experimental group. The experimental group was represented by 16 junior I athletes from the SCM Politehnica Timișoara handball club, and the control group consisted of 16 junior I athletes from the CSM Resita handball club. The tests aimed the evaluation of the following parameters: body composition and strength before and after training for both groups. Results and discussions: The results obtained show a slight progress of the experimental group in front of the control group in terms of body composition, but an important progress in terms of strength. Conclusions: The study validated that through the modern means of training applied, substantial contributions are made to the increase of sports performance.
