The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 8-weeks two different handball training on sprint, agility and reaction time of 11-13 year old children. 36 children were included in the study. The sampling method was used for this research have received basic training handball 36 (18 girls and 18 boys) formed the study sample group of children. The children who participated in the research were divided into 3 (control group and two different trainings) groups. The experimental group consisted of handball players (24 athletes) who were active in handball while the control group consisted of handballs and also non-trained children (12 athletes) who were not actively involved in another sports branch. Experimental groups were divided into traditional handball(12 athletes) and neuromuscular+traditional handball training group(12 athletes) and performed a total of 24 handball training. For all research groups, sprint, agility and reaction time measurements were performed as pre-test and post-test. Data was tested for normality with the “Kolmogorov Smirnov Test”. “Signed Rank Test” was used to determine the difference between pre and post tests. The “Kruskal-Wallis H Test” was used to detect the diffence betwenn groups. The “Pairwise Multiple Comparisons Test” was used, for detecting the differences between groups. The difference between pre and post-test measurements of sprint and agility tests of girls and boys were determined. In addition, it was determined that there were difference between post-test measurements of the girls' right visual reaction tests, whereas the boys' left visual reaction tests. However, it was determined that there was a difference between the sprint and agility levels of girls and boys in both 8-weeks training models. As a result, it was found that 8-weeks traditional handball and neuromuscular+traditional handball training groups were increased the sprint levels of boys and girls by equal levels (9%). In addition, traditional handball were increased agility levels of girls and boys by 3%, whereas neuromuscular+traditional handball training were increased by 5%. Neuromuscular training should be preferred especially to increase agility in the pre-competition period.
