Abstract
The aims of this study were to define determinant factors that affected throwing actions used to score goals in handball, and to study the effectiveness of throwing actions and their relationships with different factors during their use, such as: the throwing distance, type of arm build, type of throw, whether it is done while jumping or while supported, the last supporting foot and the previous step cycle, as well as their relationship with the final score of the game in elite male handball competitions. A total of 1049 shots from 24 matches in the 2018/19/20 International Men’s Handball Championship were analysed. The results show that distance is relevant in the effectiveness of throwing, setting the build up, throwing while supported or jumping, the type of throwing, the type of steps cycle used and the supporting foot. This seems to indicate that the determining factor that affects a throw is distance.
Highlights
The throw used to score a goal in handball is defined as the most important action for success [1]
The ethical and deontology principles were met in relation to the participants in the research, and the data obtained was managed according to the ethical principles of the Helsinki 2016 declaration and approved by the Ethics Committee of CEIC Aragón (CEICA) no 10/2021
The aims of this research were to analyse the determinant factors that affected throws in handball, their effectiveness and their relationships between the variables that defined the results of throws in handball competitions of the elite male category
Summary
The throw used to score a goal in handball is defined as the most important action for success [1]. Determinant factors analysis of handball throwing is focused on variables such as: distance; throwing zone, type, angle or position; the result or final effectiveness of the total quantity of actions [2,3,4]; or factors of vital importance in the result of the throw, such as speed and accuracy [5,6,7,8,9,10]. It is necessary to understand the behaviour in these clashes similar to the interaction of dynamic and complex systems, which require the analysis of both individual and collective decision making, considering the context [21,22,23] For this reason, many articles focus on match analysis in handball [8,14,24,25]
