Players run forwards and after 15 meters or a whistle from the trainer, the players turn around and jump on one leg. They then watch the trainer who waves a coloured shirt or just their left or right arm and players run backwards in that direction with a cross-over technique.

Handball demands explosive power, repeated sprint ability, and the strength to compete physically for 60 minutes. Sport-specific conditioning develops the athletic qualities that underpin elite performance.
