“…The results obtained (Table 2) show very similar values to those shown by elite TH players, being higher than those found in the wings, and lower than the backs (Vila et al, 2012). Throwing velocity is a determining factor for performance in handball (Gutierrez-Davila, Rojas, Ortega, Campos, & Parraga, 2011). The values obtained in this study are higher than those obtained in other studies with TH players in throws from stop and 3-step runs (Granados et al, 2007;Vila et al, 2012).…”

This study describes the anthropometric and physical profile of the team that was the World Champion of female Beach Handball in 2016. 12 international level field players from Spain Beach Handball National Team participated in this study. The anthropometric and physical profile of the players has been evaluated, measuring: height and weight; skin folds and somatotype was determined. For the physical profile have been measured: maximal isometric hand grip force; throw velocity (throw in static support behind the line of 6 meters; throw with three steps run throw and jump with turn of 360º); speed 5 and 10 meters; countermovement jump (CMJ) and Repeated Sprint Ability on Sand (RSAS). Somatotype obtained from the sample studied, characterized by mesomorphy-endomorphy (3,33-3,35-2,65). The physical profile shown by the beach handball players champions of the world were: handgrip show very similar values to those shown by the elite Team Handball players. Throw velocity values are slightly higher to those obtained in other studies with Team Handball players. The Spanish World Champion Beach Handball players show anthropometric characteristics with low values than those shown by Beach Handball players of other nationalities, and by Team Handball players.

“…In addition, the success of expert goalkeepers in save actions seems to be located in the delayed start into save movement in order to obtain more information about the ball's trajectory and in executing intervention actions in a shorter time (faster) than their less experienced colleagues (Schorer, 2005). Such findings reinforce the importance of goalkeepers' training aiming at the development of maximum strength and explosive strength (Aagaard, Simonsen, Andersen, Magnusson, & Dyhre-Poulsen, 2002) and their ability to anticipate actions by identifying signals sent by attackers on the side and height of a throw on goal to decrease uncertainty (Guttiérrez-Davila, Rojas, Ortega, Campos, & Párraga, 2011;Rojas, Gutiérrez-Davila, Ortega, Campos, & Párraga, 2012).…”

The aim of this study was to identify game variables that discriminated winning from losing teams and to understand how these variables contributed to victory by observing goal differences in matches of the women’s handball world championships. The sample comprised 471 WCh’s games played between 2007 and 2017. The games were grouped into three clusters: balanced games – difference of 1-8 goals; unbalanced games – difference of 9-20 goals; and very unbalanced games – difference of > 20 goals. Generally, the performance of winning teams was significantly higher (in most variables), or lower in the case of the number of technical faults (p<.05). In the balanced games, there was a greater contribution of defensive variables (stolen balls, blocked throws, and goalkeeper’s efficiency indicators) in relation to attack variables (attack efficiency and throw efficiency indicators). For victory, the number of technical faults reduce the chances of winning. Games with the unbalanced and very unbalanced goal differences seem to follow the same tendency; however, in the very unbalanced games, there were more assists, yellow cards and 2-min suspensions. We concluded that the decisive variables for victory in the balanced games showed a greater weight, with a special emphasis on stolen balls followed by offensive variables (throw efficiency indicators, attack efficiency, and technical faults). There was an equal tendency for the games with unbalanced and very unbalanced outcomes.

“…Our results could lead to some practical implications. Recently, behavioral analysis of seven handball goalkeepers in a lab-context demonstrated that they had to employ an anticipatory strategy when facing long distance throws (Gutierrez-Davila et al, 2011). In the present study, the distinctive micro-decisions we found provide support for re-thinking goalkeepers training in handball, or even in other team sports such as soccer and hockey.…”

Goalkeepers hold a key position for success in team sports competitions. They perform in dynamical contexts and are highly submitted to time pressure. The purpose of this naturalistic case study, therefore, was to explore how a handball expert goalkeeper deals with the uncertainty of the competition settings to make successful decisions. An individual self-confrontation interview was held with a goalkeeper while he watched duels with potential throwers in an official competition. A mixed method was used combining the first-person and third-person point of view. Verbal data were supplemented by observational data (distance measures between the goalkeeper and the potential thrower) in 83 short accounts of decision-making situations. Qualitative analysis resulted in 419 units of salient features, in three types of processes related to the Recognition-Primed Decision model, and in four micro-decisions. Non-parametrical statistical analysis indicated that there was a significant effect of distances between the potential thrower and the goalkeeper, on the micro-decision categories, but not on the recognition processes. These results provide insights into cognitive contents and processes an expert goalkeeper can use under uncertainty and time pressure. The mixed method furnishes a meaningful description and a subsequent understanding of expert performances in sport.
