Injury prevention and recovery for handball

Handball combines single-leg landings after jumps, explosive changes of direction, repeated arm throws, and constant physical contact with opponents — a combination that puts the knees, ankles, leg muscles, and arm through heavy wear. Ankle sprains from pivots and sudden changes of direction, knee injuries from landing after a jump (one of the most serious in this sport), hamstring and quadriceps tears, groin strain from constant lateral movement, and arm overload from repeated throwing are very common injuries, both on court and in training.

At Solusports, we offer a selection of products designed to support you before, during, and after every game:

For the ankle, especially exposed during pivots and direction changes, the Incrediwear ankle sleeve helps reduce inflammation and speed up recovery after a sprain. For the knee, under heavy impact with every landing after a jump, the Incrediwear knee sleeve supports circulation and joint recovery. For the hamstrings and quadriceps, Knapman short and long compression shorts (25% and 45%) stabilize the muscle during jumps and explosive movement, and are equally effective for groin strain and the adductors, heavily loaded with every lateral change of direction. As a specific alternative for this last area, Shortystrap compression shorts offer support focused exclusively on groin strain and the adductors. For the arm, under repeated load from throwing, the Incrediwear Arm Sleeve increases local circulation and speeds up recovery in the area.

In addition, TRUsox anti-slip socks improve foot stability inside the shoe by eliminating internal slippage — essential in a sport of constant pivots and starts, allowing you to brake and jump with more firmness and explosiveness, while also preventing blisters from friction.
