The sampling method was used for this research have received basic training handball 36 (18 girls and 18 boys) formed the study sample group of children. </span> </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:10pt;color:#222222;" xml:lang="en">The children who participated in the research were divided into 3 (control group and two different trainings) groups. </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en"> </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:10pt;color:#222222;" xml:lang="en">The experimental group consisted of handball players (24 athletes) who were active in handball while the control group consisted of handballs and also non-trained children (12 athletes) who were not actively involved in another sports branch. Experimental groups were divided into traditional handball(12 athletes) and neuromuscular+traditional handball training group(12 athletes) and performed a total of 24 handball training. For all research groups, sprint, agility and reaction time measurements were performed as pre-test and post-test. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en-us">Data was tested for normality with the “Kolmogorov Smirnov Test”. </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en-us">“Signed Rank Test” was used to determine the difference between pre and post tests. The “Kruskal-Wallis H Test” was used to detect the diffence betwenn groups. The “Pairwise Multiple Comparisons Test” was used, for detecting the differences between groups. </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:10pt;color:#222222;" xml:lang="en"> T </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:10pt;" xml:lang="en">he difference between pre and post-test measurements of sprint and agility tests of girls and boys were determined. In addition, it was determined that there were difference between post-test measurements of the girls’ right visual reaction tests, whereas the boys’ left visual reaction tests. However, it was determined that there was a difference between the sprint and agility levels of girls and boys in both 8-weeks training models. As a result, it was found that 8-weeks <span style="color:#222222;">traditional handball </span>and <span style="color:#222222;">neuromuscular+traditional handball training groups </span> were increased the sprint levels of boys and girls by equal levels (9%). In addition, <span style="color:#222222;">traditional handball </span>were increased agility levels of girls and boys by 3%, whereas <span style="color:#222222;">neuromuscular+traditional handball training </span>were increased by 5%. Neuromuscular training should be preferred especially to increase agility in the pre-competition period. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={İrfan YILDIRIM}
