Learn about walking handball at the next EHF Webinar
The next EHF Webinar on Thursday 18 June (13:00-14:00 CEST) will present walking handball as a feasible alternative to regular recreational handball and conventional walking. The webinar will discuss how walking handball can make handball more accessible and engaging for people of all ages and skill levels, and also improve their health outcomes.
The webinar will be presented by EHF Expert Susana Póvoas, an associate professor of sport and health sciences at the University of Maia in Portugal. Póvoas is the lead of the EHF-funded 'Handball4Health' project, which focuses on promoting handball and its variations, such as walking handball, as a health, physical fitness, and well-being enhancing sport for all.
The presentation will be based on a study, also presented at the EHF Scientific Conference 2025, which was published in the special issue of the Frontiers in Sport and Active Living journal in cooperation with the EHF. The study examined the physical and physiological demands and perceived experience of walking handball.
Webinar participants will be able to ask questions. Register for free here.
