Summary/Abstract: The problem of this work are forms of doping behaviour and the potential impact of different predictive factorson doping behaviour of handball players. Looking at the problem of this paper, its main goal was to determine thedifferential effects of selected social, demographic, health and sports predictors on doping-factors in handball. Thesample of respondents consisted of 150 handball players of the highest caliber competitions in BiH, 70 juniors and 80seniors. The sample of variables is divided into two sets, predictor variables and criterion variables, which were collectedby the questionnaire. The methods of analyses included descriptive statistical procedures, analysis of the differences andthe analysis of the relationships. The data analysis brought us to the following results and the conclusion. Playing sportsto same extent is a protective factor in the consumption of cigarettes and alcohol. Knowledge of supplementation withhandball players is very small, juniors claimed a daily diet is sufficient, while seniors find it necessary to add supplements.Ignorance about supplementation represents a high risk of potential doping behaviour. However, there are also limitingfactors in the use of supplementation such as financial issues. It is believed that there is doping among top handball players.
