The anatomical and performance traits of 2000 handball players—1200 men and 800 women—across a range of age groups are investigated in this research. The average lengths between toes and the Ball Coverage Index are the two main measurements that the study focuses on, and it offers insights into how these characteristics vary by age and sex. The findings demonstrate that female players had lower C.I.B. scores in all age groups, with the largest difference shown in the under-16 group, while male players often have bigger foot dimensions, especially in the thumb-little finger and thumb-middle finger measures. Furthermore, performance indicators drop with age for both sexes, emphasizing the importance of skill development in addition to physical growth. These results highlight the necessity for specialized training plans and gear that take into account the anatomical variations between male and female players in order to improve performance and promote inclusion in the handball community.
