Handball is a very popular game all over the world and in SCG as well. Popularity of this game stems from successful play of our male and female handball national team on European, World Competition and on Olympic games. Technically and tactically this game more and more resembles the male handball. The process of training is close to the very edge of female abilities, so we have dynamic game full of duel, long shots and spectacular goals. The aim of this research is to confirm differences of developing characteristics and state of nutrition of male and female handball players at our national competition.
