Which fitness component do you use the most in handball? Flexibility Muscular Strength Muscular Endurance Cardiovascular Endurance

1. Handball is an intermittent sport that requires high-intensity bursts of activity interspersed with very short recovery periods. 2. During a game, players must repeatedly perform actions such as sprinting, jumping, throwing, and rapid changes in direction. These actions require the muscles to work continuously without fatiguing quickly. 3. This repeated, high-intensity use of the muscles is best supported by a well-developed level of \(\textbf{muscular endurance}\), which is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period. 4. While flexibility, muscular strength, and cardiovascular endurance are all important in handball, the nature of the sport—with its many repeated movements and short, explosive actions—puts a heavy emphasis on muscular endurance. \(\boxed{\text{Muscular Endurance}}\)
