Abstract

The use of weighted balls provides an effective means to improve muscle strength, endurance and functional fitness. Anyone can use medicinal balls or weighted balls to improve their physical condition, from rookies to performers. Weighted ball training increases muscle strength and throwing speed, depending on the weight (of the used items) and it promotes diversity by introducing a new stimulus in physiological adaptation. At the same time, matching an appropriate speed represents a dangerous factor concerning the safety of the athlete as it may become too demanding with regards to the biomechanics involved. Speed cannot be so easily controlled. Overall strength is developed with the aid of plyometric exercises, as well as muscle endurance, and last but not least, suppleness. Research focused on the effectiveness of strategic training has revealed mixed results.
