Abstract
Background: Athlete monitoring has become an important aspect of demanding indoor team sports like handball. Monitoring external and internal load and well-being should help coaches to optimize load management and recovery strategies to improve athletic performance and maintain athlete health. However, there is a large variety in the methods described, their coherence, and their effect on performance and health. This systematic review will summarize the methods currently used to monitor external and internal load and well-being during training and competition in team handball.
Methods: This systematic review will follow the current Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive search of electronic databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science, will be conducted until 30 April 2024. Original articles in English, German, or Spanish that assess methods for monitoring the external and/or internal load and/or well-being of healthy team handball players during training and/or competition will be considered. In addition, a backward search of all relevant full-text articles identified through the search will be conducted. Two reviewers will independently perform study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment for included studies. Included studies will be assessed for risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. It is anticipated that the number of eligible studies will be limited, and that the data extracted from them will be highly heterogeneous. Consequently, a narrative synthesis of the extracted data will be presented.
Discussion: This systematic review will provide the current evidence on methods for monitoring external and internal load and well-being in competitive team handball players. The results may assist practitioners in implementing an athlete monitoring. We will share our findings through scientific conferences, educational meetings for coaches and medical staff, expert meetings, and publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
背景：运动员监控已成为手球等要求苛刻的室内团体运动的一个重要方面。监测外部和内部负荷和健康状况有助于教练优化负荷管理和恢复策略，以提高运动成绩和保持运动员健康。然而，所描述的方法、它们的一致性以及它们对性能和健康的影响各不相同。本系统综述将总结目前用于监测手球训练和比赛中外部和内部负荷和健康状况的方法。方法：本系统评价将遵循现行的系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。全面检索电子数据库，包括MEDLINE、Embase和Web of Science，将进行到2024年4月30日。评估在训练和/或比赛期间监测健康手球队员外部和/或内部负荷和/或健康状况的方法的英文、德文或西班牙文原创文章将被考虑。此外，将对通过检索确定的所有相关全文文章进行反向检索。两名审稿人将独立进行纳入研究的研究选择、数据提取和偏倚风险评估。纳入的研究将使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表评估偏倚风险。预计符合条件的研究数量将是有限的，并且从中提取的数据将是高度异质的。因此，将提出提取数据的叙述综合。讨论：这个系统的回顾将提供当前的证据方法监测外部和内部负荷和健康的竞技手球团队球员。结果可能有助于从业者实施运动员监测。我们将通过科学会议、教练和医务人员的教育会议、专家会议以及在同行评议的期刊上发表我们的发现。系统评价注册：PROSPERO CRD42024540676。
期刊介绍：
Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal publishes high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modelling. At this time Systematic Reviews does not accept reviews of in vitro studies. The journal also aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted systematic reviews are published, regardless of their outcome.
