Sažetak
Both handball and football are very popular in Croatia, as well as in Europe. Because of the specific movements handball and football players perform, good hamstring and lower back functioning is important. The aim of this paper was to show how different types of training (handball or football) affect flexibility and what the long term effects are. Thirty seven men participated in the study divided into two groups: 16 handball players and 21 football player. Prior to the measurements, they warmed up for 10 minutes. Height, weight, body mass index and spinal mobility of the thoracic and lumbar spine as well as hamstrings flexibility were measured. Statistical significant differences were found for height and weight in favor of handball players, as well as for posterior thoracic and lumbar mobility, lateral flexion and hamstrings flexibility. Training helps development of specific needs depending on sport. Handball players achieved better results on spine mobility tests, maybe because of increased activity of the shoulder girdle due to specific training process.
