The goal of this research was to study the relationships between maximum ball speed post-impact in the forehand groundstroke and the performance of the one-hand and two-hand medicine ball throw. Ball speed in the forehand groundstroke significantly correlated with the values obtained for lateral one-handed throw (0,40 - 0,59), but not two-handed throw (0.01 - 0,29). These two different types of lateral throws would allow diverse training goals and should, according to the results of the present study, be used in distinct and specific moments of the training periodisation.
