And in Handball, which has the pitch as the main foundation, serious physiological changes can occur in the entire shoulder joint, due to the great demand for strength that is required. These injuries can affect the entire joint, thus making it difficult to move. In the literature, one of the known injuries that affects this entire joint, is called Scapular Dyskinesia, which is the alteration of scapular movements. Therefore, a bibliographic review was carried out in order to understand the relationship between the Handball pitch, with pain. joint discomfort and decreased athlete performance, and also check prevention methods to avoid or minimize future joint problems that are so prone to injuries during sports practice. It was concluded that in the Handball there is a great incidence of injuries caused by repetitive movements of the technical gesture of the throw, having as a preventive method a specific work of the whole musculature.
