Sixteen U-22 elite male handball players (age:\n                    19.8\u00b10.9 y and handball training experience: 10.5\u00b11.0 y) of the Spanish\n                    University Championship-winning team participated in this study. Players were\n                    assessed for maximum isometric shoulder internal rotation strength (kg), and the\n                    loads (kg) associated with 1 m\/s in half squat and bench press exercises.\n                    Subsequently, they performed a standardized warm-up plus isometric vs.\n                    plyometric vs. control exercises in a randomized order followed by the\n                    evaluation of ball throwing velocity. There were no significant differences in\n                    throwing velocity following any condition.
