Study on the Assessment of the Level of Skill and Coordination of Higher Education Students

The research was conducted in the first semester of the academic year 2023-2024, the subjects tested were students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of “Spiru Haret” University of Bucharest. They gave their consent to participate in tests on the evaluation of skills in handball, gymnastics, and tennis classes. So in gymnastics, they performed circle throws and fixed-point ball throws over time, with correct execution being appreciated. The throws with the two objects were made with both hands, starting with the handy hand, with a break between trials. In tennis, our subjects had 10 balls thrown to them by the teacher and had to perform the long forehand crosscourt shot in the hatched areas (as the first trial) and the long backhand crosscourt shot in the hatched areas (the second trial). For handball, we opted in this experimental study for two individual trials of moving with two balls in dribbling over a distance of 10m, dribbling simultaneously (trial 1) and alternately (trial 2), and a partner passing trial (distance 3-4m, 30seconds) simultaneously with (trial 3).

Contributions Regarding the Improvement of Specific Physical Training in 14 – 16 Year-Old Handball Players

By carefully watching the handball games both in the domestic championship and the games from the World and European Championships, we come to the conclusion that great performances are only achieved by teams that have a very good physical training, so implicitly a general and specific motor ability excellently doubled by a preparation on training factors: technical, theoretical, tactical and psychological. The choice of plyometric exercises must imitate handball skills, to maximize the strengthening of the muscles that trigger the movement and, in certain cases, to generate "motor memory", consolidating the technical skills involved.

Wheelchair handball classification system: purpose and validation evidence-based

The aim of the present work is to propose and validate an evidence-based Wheelchair Handball Classification System, that allows its widespread use and the standardization of the classification system in different Wheelchair Handball competitions. The study involved 98 Wheelchair Handball athletes of both sex (87 males, 11 females), aged between 14 and 76 years old (M=40.32; SD= 11.73) with physical impairments. All wheelchair handball players that had participated in the last 3 national championships were invited to participate. We applied the assessment protocol to the participants and athletes’ classification process had three phases: Medical and Physiological functional assessment; Technical assessment (evaluation of specific movements with wheelchair manipulation and Handball skills) and observation in a game situation (with videorecorder). We used a Classification Points Form to permit the assessment of muscle strength and range of movement of upper limbs, trunk, lower limbs, wheelchair manipulation and Handball skills. The manipulation of wheelchair was measured considering the symmetrical movement, acceleration, braking and change direction, using the Sprint 20m – speed test and a Slalom test. The handball skills were assessed, using dribbling, reception, catching the ball from the floor, shoulder and shopped pass and 9m to the goal shot. Data Analysis was done using descriptive statistics and an Ordinal Linear Regression. The dependent variable was the classification class and we considered five independent variables (mean of upper limbs, trunk, lower limbs, wheelchair manipulation and Handball skills). Data Analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed that the proposed model presents a high degree of adjustment and permitted identify determinant variables of performance in that sport and indicates key tasks to optimize classification process. There was consistency in the specific parameters to assign a class to the athlete, according to their functional capacity, associated with the specific neuromotor alterations of each clinical condition.

Co-creating holistic injury prevention training for youth handball: Development of an intervention targeting end-users at the individual, team, and organizational levels

BackgroundInterventions that are co-created with end-users, and that are informed by behavior change or implementation theories, support implementation in real world settings. However, injury prevention programs for youth athletes have typically been developed by experts with no, or insufficiently described, end-user involvement and without guidance by theories. The aim of the current study was to describe the development of a holistic injury prevention intervention for youth handball targeting end-users at different levels, through using knowledge from end-users and researchers/experts and applying relevant behavior change and implementation theories.MethodsKnowledge from researchers/experts (sports medicine, sport psychology, handball, physical therapy, strength and conditioning (n = 14)) and end-users (coaches, players, club administrators, n = 16), and applying relevant implementation (Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, CFIR), behavior change (Health Action Process Approach, HAPA) and motivational (Self-Determination Theory, SDT) theories, were used to co-design the intervention. Early end-users (coaches (n = 6), players (n = 3) and a club administrator (n = 1)) were interviewed for initial feedback.ResultsThe intervention consisted of end-user-targeted information and training that was made available in a specifically developed interactive mobile application with modules for players, coaches, club administrators, and caregivers. Information for all end-users included benefits and principles of physical and psychological injury prevention training, load-management, motivation, and communication. Information about implementation was developed for club administrators specifically. For coaches, training to do with their teams included handball-specific injury prevention exercises (legs, shoulders, core) combined with psychological aspects (motivation, task focus, body awareness) to integrate within warm-up and handball skills training. Training for players included handball-specific multi-joint strength, power, and explosive exercises (legs, shoulders, core) and sport psychology exercises (self-awareness, relaxation, being in the present moment, prevent and handle stress). To support self-management, adoption, and motivation, programs were provided, and players and coaches could change, add, progress the difficulty of exercises, and build their own programs. Initial feedback from early end-users was generally positive.ConclusionsUtilizing an approach where researchers/experts and end-users co-created injury prevention training specifically for youth handball, an intervention was generated that included information and holistic training targeting end-users at the individual (players, caregivers), team (coaches), and organizational (club administrators) levels.

The Effect of Probe Thinking Strategy (Application of Principles) on Acquisition of Some Basic Offensive Skills in Handball

Probe thinking is the structure that emerges from the interaction between the student and what he encounters, rather than what he is taught, and thinking that is focused on posing questions and coming up with solutions, the spark that keeps a learner interested. Therefore, the present study was an attempt to investigate the possible effect of probe thinking strategy on acquisition of some basic offensive skills in handball. A control group and an experimental group were utilized in a pre-post-test design. Following the pre-test, the experimental group received the treatment whereas the control group did not. For the analysis, 20 learners from Cihan University-Erbil, Iraq, were taken into consideration. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the statistical analysis (i.e., Independent samples t-test) in terms of how the two groups performed on the pre- and post-tests. The results revealed that the use of probe questions strategy is effective for the Sports Sciences students to get better results regarding pass-test, dribble-test, and shot-test. The findings of the present study can benefit all the educators and the students as well to have a better performance in practical courses. At the same time, these results can be double checked for the other sports so that they can be generalized to all the branches of Sports Sciences.
