Handball is a contact sport. It combines speed with skill, agility, and stamina. It is played in a court with a central goal on each end. International Handball Federation manages tournaments and the men’s world championship. It also organizes junior championships. East Asia, North Africa and North Africa are two of the 197 member federations that make up the IHF. Handball is played worldwide by approximately 795,000 teams.
The sport is usually played indoors. Each team consists of seven players. The games are adjudiated by two referees and each player is given a yellow card. If an infringement leads to a red card, the player is sent off. Players are prohibited from touching the ball or trying to kick it.
Handball is played in a 40-by-20 metre court. The ball, which is made of leather and spherical in shape, must be used with one hand. The goals are bolted to the ground and secured to a wall. Each team has one goalkeeper. This person stands within a 6-metre space. Only the goalkeeper has the right to touch the ground in the goal area.
Handball is a sport that is played by people of all ages. Clubs are often formed to help organize teams. The play is broken into two periods of 30 minutes each. There are two equal referees who judge the match. Referees can give a penalty-throw if there is an infraction. Referees should be able to make a decision based on the facts. The rules can make this a difficult decision. Depending on the seriousness of the offense, a referee can either penalize the player or award a red card (dismissal).
The first rule of handball refers to keeping the ball within the six-metre area. If a player moves beyond the six-metre mark, he forfeits his possession and the opponent takes the ball. Another rule is that the ball should only be bounced once. A player must not clinch or push the ball against another team's goal.
A player can only make one goal attempt in a game. The player will usually shoot above a defender's heads. If the shot lands on the goal, then the referee lowers their/her hand. The referee then gives the player his/her free hand to score.
The attacking team will take the corner when a player jumps into a goal area and the ball crosses over the goal line. The throwing side gets a throw-in if the defending player kicks or kicks the ball beyond the goal line. Once a throw-in has been granted, the defending player must stay at least three metres away from the person who is about to take the free-throw.
Handball is the fastest-paced Olympics sport and is loved by people from five continents. Handball is gaining popularity in South America. Originally played on grass, the sport evolved to indoors and now, it is also played on a court. Some of the major leagues are held in Europe, but handball is also played in parts of Africa and North America.
FAQ
Can I exercise after eating?
It all depends on the type of exercise that you are doing. Avoid strenuous exercise after meals as it can cause stomach cramps. Light aerobic activities, such as walking or biking, are better.
Which Is Most Important: Diet, Exercise, or Sleep?
This depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you want to lose weight, diet is the most important factor. To build muscle mass, exercise is crucial. Sleep is the last important factor, as it has little to do with how well your day goes.
What Does Nutrition Do for Your Body?
By providing all the nutrients necessary for growth and development, nutrition helps your body function well. You can ensure adequate nutrition by eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and healthy oils.
How Can I Get Started With Fitness?
Start small. Take 10 minutes each day to walk around your block. This will show you how to move and give your muscles the time to adjust. Once you've mastered this simple form of exercise, try adding more steps to your daily routine.
Can exercise make me gain weight?
Not at all. Exercise can actually help you maintain your weight. You can build muscle mass and speed up your metabolism by exercising regularly. This means you won't store as much fat in your body.
What happens to me if I don’t sleep enough?
You can't get enough sleep and your brain will not be able to regulate hormones and chemicals responsible for controlling appetite and metabolism. You may also gain weight and overeat. Lack of sleep also increases stress levels, which can lead to overeating.
