Research explores performance in the beach handball heat

FEATURE: Understanding how athletes cope with heat is crucial for performance. Research to that effect was conducted at the YAC17 Beach Handball EURO 2025

Sun, sand and warm weather are a perfect combination for a summer outdoor sports event. Add the attractiveness of beach handball, music and a good atmosphere, and you have the recipe for a great sports event. However, there is another side to the medal, as athletes must deliver their maximum performance in challenging environmental conditions with high temperatures and humidity.
