Athlete monitoring in handball (ATHMON HB): a survey of current practice in professional women’s and men’s handball
Our findings indicate that the majority of handball teams already use some form of IIS, and more than half of these teams have implemented an AMS, with men's teams using significantly more player tracking, internal load and well-being measures. The apparent high level of interest in athlete monitoring highlights the importance of data-driven approaches to managing player health and performance, although selection bias must be considered. This information is valuable for practitioners seeking to implement or expand AMS in handball.
