TL;DR: Elite male players have an enhanced specific agility, a better throwing performance, a higher team handball specific oxygen uptake and higher leg strength compared to sub-elite and non-Elite players.

TL;DR: Key aspects for jump height were wide dynamic arm swing allowing for a forceful countermovement and, thus, increased range of motion in lower limbs, and large angular velocities in ankles and knees, and these aspects strongly determined jump height in females and should be included in technical and strength-related training.

TL;DR: Correlations support that the results cannot be explained fully by strength and power differences between sexes but represent the product of technical-coordinative variations.

TL;DR: The results of the study revealed that male players are heavier, taller, faster, stronger, jump higher and have a better aerobic performance, however, female players performed relatively better in the team handball specific tests compared to the general tests.

TL;DR: Anthropometric characteristics, sex and lower limb strength differently influenced the Y BT measures, regardless of limb dominance, and these variables should be controlled to limit the variability for an accurate evaluation of postural balance, especially if different YBT measures are used.
