Aim: The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of 6 weeks bilateral (BL) versus unilateral (UL) complex training combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT) on maximal strength, jumping ability, straight sprint (5, 10, 20 and 30 m), change of direction speed (CODS), repeated sprint ability (RSA) and specific endurance in Swedish elite male and female handball players. Another purpose was to examine if a bilateral deficit (BLD) exists in strength and jumping ability (power deficit) and if it changes differently with 6 weeks BL and UL complex training. Method: 18 male and 12 female elite handball players was selected to either a 6 weeks bilateral (BL, n = 10) or unilateral (UL, n = 20) complex strength training program. In addition both groups trained HIIT. Training volume, intensity and exercise motion was similar between the groups. Tests included maximal (1RM) UL and BL Smith machine squat strength, UL counter movement jump with arm swing (CMJ) and BL (CMJ), squat jump (SJ) jumping ability, modified T-test, straight sprint (5, 10, 20 and 30 m), repeated shuttle sprint ability (RSSA) and Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test (Yo-Yo IR) before and after 6 weeks training. Results: There was no significant difference between BL and UL groups and any of the selected tests. The UL group significantly (p &lt; 0.05) increased sprint time pre- to post testing only between 0-10 m and significantly decreased RSAtotal pre- to post testing (p &lt; 0.01). BL group significantly (p &lt; 0.01) increased sprint time pre- to post testing only between 0-30 m. When pooling data from both groups significant (p &lt; 0.01) improvements were seen in maximal UL and BL strength, UL CMJ dominant leg, CODS and Yo-Yo IR test as well as increasing the BLD and power deficit for elite male and female handball players. Conclusion: 6 weeks of complex training using only BL or UL exercises combined with HIIT resulted in no significant changes between groups in any of the selected tests. Training unilaterally could possibly be a safer training method since the absolute load is lesser than BL training. / Syfte och frågeställningar: Syftet med studien är att undersöka effekterna av 6 veckors bilateral (BL) och unilateral (UL) kombinationsträning kombinerad med högintensiv intervall träning (HIIT) på maximal styrka, hoppförmåga, linjär sprint (5, 10, 20 och 30 m), snabbhet med riktningsförändringar (CODS), maximala upprepade sprinter med kort återhämtning (RSA) och specifik uthållighet på manliga och kvinnliga elithandbollsspelare. Ett annat syfte var att undersöka om bilateral deficit (BLD) existerar i styrke- och hoppövningar (power deficit) och huruvida 6 veckors BL och UL kombinationsträning påverkar förhållandet. Metod: 18 manliga och 12 kvinnliga elithandbollsspelare indelades i antingen ett bilateralt (BL, n = 10) eller ett unilateralt (UL, n = 20) kombinationsträningsprogram. Utöver kombinationsträningen utförde båda grupperna högintensiv intervallträning (HIIT). Träningsvolymen, intensiteten och övningsval var lika mellan grupperna. Testerna inkluderade maximal (1RM) UL och BL knäböjstyrka i Smith maskin, UL counter movement jump med armsving (CMJ) och BL CMJ, squat jump, (SJ), modifierat T-test, linjär sprint (5, 10, 20 och 30 m), upprepade shuttle sprintar (RSSA) och Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test (Yo-Yo IR) före och efter 6 veckors träning. Resultat: Det fanns ingen signifikant skillnad mellan BL eller UL gruppen i någon av de valda testerna. UL gruppen förbättrade signifikant (p &lt; 0.05 ) sprint tiden mellan 0-10 m och minskade RSAtotal (p &lt; 0.01) efter träningsperioden. BL gruppen ökade signifikant (p &lt; 0.01) sprint tiden mellan 0-30 m. När data från båda grupperna lades samman visade resultatet signifikanta (p &lt; 0.01) förbättringar i maximal UL och BL styrka, UL CMJ på det dominanta benet, CODS och Yo-Yo IR test och även en signifikant ökning i BLD och power deficiten för manliga och kvinnliga elithandbollspelare. Slutsats: 6 veckors kombinationsträning med enbart BL eller UL övningar och HIIT resulterade inte i signifikanta skillnader mellan grupperna på något av de valda testerna. ULträning kan möjligtvis vara en säkrare träningsmetod eftersom den absoluta belastningen är lägre jämfört med BL träning. / <p>Uppsatsen tilldelades stipendiemedel ur Överste och Fru Adolf Johnssons fond VT 2015.</p>

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This paper studied the organization of the teaching of sports content, with a view to the need for basic education students understanding it from a critical perspective. Part of the understanding that education in the capital´s landmarks is used as an effective means for restoration of capitalist hegemony, which implies the lowering of education for the lower classes, which most often seen in school the unique opportunity to access such knowledge. Consequently, there have taken students of basic education to a unilateral development, opposing the development of a degree of approximation to unilateral training. Therefore, we ask: how to organize the teaching of sports content in Physical Education - specifically athletics - based on complex system so that it can be grasped in its entirety and thus contribute towards developing a degree of approximation to unilateral training? Therefore, the objective is to analyze the possibility of complex system guide the appropriation of sport content in physical education classes in order to contribute to enhance aspects of human formation of the students. As for the results, there is the difficulty to organize sport education based on complex system, since the incompatibility that exists between the complex system and the educational culture of capitalist school prevents the broad development of this proposal. But despite the difficulties imposed by the objective conditions, it is considered that got it progress with regard to the degree of students´ understanding of the entire sport phenomenon, which confirms the hypothesis of the study, consolidating therefore the complex system as a chance to guide the deal with sports knowledge in order to contribute to a degree of approximation to unilateral training of students. / Este estudo tem como objeto a organização do ensino do conteúdo esporte, tendo em vista a necessidade dos alunos da educação básica apreendê-lo em uma perspectiva crítica. Parte da compreensão de que a educação nos marcos do capital é utilizada enquanto meio eficaz para recomposição da hegemonia capitalista, o que implica no rebaixamento do ensino destinado às camadas populares, que na maioria das vezes vê na escola a única oportunidade de acessar tais conhecimentos. Em consequência, têm-se levado os estudantes da educação básica a uma formação unilateral, em detrimento ao desenvolvimento de um grau de aproximação à formação onilateral. Diante disso, questiona-se: como organizar o ensino do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de Educação Física mais especificamente o atletismo com base no sistema de complexos a fim de que o mesmo possa ser apreendido em sua totalidade e, consequentemente, contribua na direção do desenvolvimento de um grau de aproximação à formação onilateral? Para tanto, o objetivo é analisar a possibilidade do sistema de complexos orientar a apropriação do conteúdo esporte nas aulas de educação física no sentido de contribuir para ampliar os aspectos da formação humana dos alunos. O estudo, de natureza quantitativa/qualitativa, foi realizado à luz do método materialista histórico-dialético, a partir da observação livre das aulas de educação física em uma turma de sétimo ano de uma escola pública do município de Arapiraca, Alagoas. Quanto aos resultados encontrados, destaca-se a dificuldade para organizar o ensino do esporte com base no sistema de complexos, posto que a incompatibilidade que existe entre o sistema de complexos e a cultura pedagógica da escola capitalista impede o amplo desenvolvimento desta proposta. Mas, apesar das dificuldades impostas pelas condições objetivas, considera-se que obtive-se um avanço no que se refere ao grau de compreensão dos alunos sobre a totalidade do fenômeno esportivo, o que confirma a hipótese do estudo, consolidando-se, portanto, o sistema de complexos enquanto uma possibilidade para orientar o trato com o conhecimento esporte na perspectiva de contribuir para um grau de aproximação à formação onilateral dos alunos.
