The study was conducted on 20 male handball players of Laxmibai National Institute of Physical Education, Gwalior. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of selected strength and flexibility measure to playing ability in handball. For measuring the strength, arm strength was measured by counting number of push-ups, abdominal strength by leg dynamometer and grip strength by using grip dynamometer, wrist and ankle flexibility were measured by monometer, trunk flexibility by bend and reach test and the shoulder flexibility by rod centimeters and metric scale. Product moment correlation was employed to study the relationship of selected strength the flexibility measure to playing ability in handball; the correlation revealed that leg strength was highly significant to handball playing ability as compared to other selected strength measures as obtained value of correlation (r = 0.90) was much higher as compared to 0.040 value for correlation to be significant at 0.05 level. The other strength measures of arm strength, grip strength and abdominal strength also showed significant relation to handball playing ability. Shoulder flexibility showed high correlation to handball playing, ability, other flexibility measures showed insignificant correlation to handball playing ability.
