“…Conversely, if the ball is slower, the GK of the team in numerical inferiority could have more time to re-enter in the goal's area, having higher possibility to save the goal. Furthermore, for team handball, probably true also for beach handball, it has been demonstrated [35] that high throwing velocity and efficiency are inversely related, suggesting that there is a need of identifying the right combination between efficiency and velocity.…”

PurposeOne factor affecting successful performance in beach handball is the efficiency of shootings. As only few studies evaluated gender-related differences in shooting performance, the aim of this study was to analyse variations of shooting efficiency between males (M) and females (F) during beach handball matches.MethodsNine matches were analysed. Overall, there were 559 (M: 353; F: 206) shots, of which 54.7 ± 9.4% were successful and 19.9 ± 7.1% were goalkeepers’ saves. Type of shot, shooting area, and goal area were recorded. Percentages of differences between genders were also computed. Players’ efficiency was calculated as (frequency of goals*100)/frequency of shots. Goalkeepers’ efficiency was calculated as (frequency of goalkeepers’ saves*100)/frequency of shots. Gender differences were ascertained by Pearson’s chi-squared test for independence with Bonferroni corrections. Statistical significance of the results was accepted at <i>p</i> < 0.05.ResultsNo statistically significant gender differences were found for any parameter. Goalkeepers were most efficient (M: 23.0 ± 6.1%; F: 25.9 ± 18.0%) when receiving inflight shots. The most frequent shooting area was the front (M: 328 shots; F: 194 shots) and most shots reached lower corners of the goal (M: 139 shots; F: 77 shots).ConclusionsNo differences between genders were found during semifinal and final phases of the tournament. Notational analysis proved to be a valuable tool for better coaching through the interpretation of shots in beach handball and it may be useful to examine all the aspects related to shooting, such as the shooting area and the goal area.

“…Perhaps the important thing is that C3 throws showed to be as effective as C4 throws, which suggests that this could be the range where players better combine effectiveness and velocity (which could be termed as "effective velocity") and subsequently, coaches via training, should improve this range in competitive play. 7 It would probably be preferable to carry out throws with submaximal velocity so we could save energy and reduce the potential risk of injury. 13 The results are logically consistent in terms of distance and throwing angle.…”

“…The two main factors for a throw to be successful and score a goal are throwing velocity and accuracy. 7 Players with higher throwing velocity are more successful as the time available for goalkeepers and defenders to prevent the goal is reduced. 8 Similarly, if the ball is shot to the desired area of the goal, it will be harder for the goalkeeper to stop it.…”

“…Another important indicator, and one which has so far been ignored, of the throwing performance is the throwing accuracy. [12][13][14] Although intrinsic motivation and interest in (motor) learning affect the acquisition of motor skills, 15 it is unclear how the experiences of children using different types of ball materials, like the soft methodic ball, vary. If the children feel comfortable using soft methodic balls in training tasks, it is assumed that this benefits skill acquisition processes while also enhancing motivation levels.…”

Throwing a ball is a primary skill in team-handball and can be directly influenced by the properties of different types of balls. Therefore, the use of different balls (i.e., methodic ball) recommended by the handball federations (e.g., IHF) and the education guidelines, are important in teaching throwing. Previous studies have shown that movement patterns and throwing velocity can be influenced by different ball types and sizes. However, the influence of these factors on throwing accuracy has not been investigated in detail yet. This study aims to replicate the findings of previous studies on increasing throwing velocity in children by comparing the use of a soft methodic ball with a size 0 handball. Furthermore, this study investigates the influence of these balls on throwing accuracy. In an experimental study, participants (10-years of age) threw a soft methodic ball and a size 0 ball at target areas in a handball goal. For all the throws, throwing velocity and accuracy were measured. Commensurate with previous research, throwing velocity was higher for the soft methodic ball compared to a size 0 ball. No difference was found in accuracy, although, it is worth mentioning that the participants were only experienced in throwing using the size 0 ball. Moreover, only one-third of the children favored throwing with a size 0 ball, which is what they are used to in training and competition. The results of our study, therefore, confirm that using soft methodic balls additionally, positively influences the throwing velocity and has no negative effect on the accuracy in throwing among young handball beginners.
