Abstract: On-court activity profiles in team-handball can help coaches to individualise conditioning programmes for the purposes of performance enhancement and return to performance. The aim of our study was to quantify on-court activity in an independent sample of elite team-handball players related to playing positions and playing time. 16 matches of a german first division squad were recorded by two ceiling cameras. Based on trajectory data of semi-automatic tracking windows, we quantified activity of 168 players. Wings (n = 44) showed higher absolute activity due to increased time on-court (51.0 ± 20.9 min) and distance covered (4057.9 ± 1630.5 m) compared to backcourts (n = 93; 35.8 ± 16.5 min; 2881.96 ± 1239.29 m) and pivots (n = 31; 35.4 ± 15.8 min; 2702.8 ± 1180.0 m). Furthermore, times and distances at different intensities differed significantly between positions (p
