“…The same occurred in matches with balanced and unbalanced scores. A similar result is found in various other studies involving players of both sexes and at different performance levels 3,4,10,11 . However, a study with women's teams in the world championship demonstrated that H+ was different for medallist and non-medallist teams in the competition's preliminary phase 12 .…”

“…These same results were found in a study with women's teams that participated in another edition of the same championship. In this case, the winners of the unbalanced matches scored more GH+ than the winners and losers of balanced matches and the losers of unbalanced matches 10 . This can be explained by the technical and tactical discrepancies present among teams with higher score differences, with the opposite occurring with well-matched teams in which the defensive marking is well conducted, making it more difficult to score goals in an H+ situation.…”

This study compared the frequency, number of goals and attack efficiency in temporal numerical superiority among winning and losing teams and among balanced and unbalanced matches in a junior men’s water polo competition. Another analysed relationship was that between a balanced or unbalanced final score and the efficiency at scoring goals in numerical superiority in the winning teams’ games. A total of 56 matches from the Pan-American Junior Men’s Water Polo championship was analysed. The teams were categorised as losers or winners and the match results were classified as balanced or unbalanced. The chi-squared and Mann-Whitney tests were used for statistical treatment. There is no significant difference in the occurrence of numerical superiority between winners and losers (p = 0.25) despite the winners scoring more goals (p = 0.002) and being more efficient (p < 0.001). There is no significant difference in the occurrence of numerical superiority (p = 0.81) and goals (p = 0.03) in balanced and unbalanced matches. However, there tends to be a higher shot efficiency (p = 0.01) in unbalanced matches. A significant relationship exists (p = 0.04) between the winning teams’ efficiency at scoring goals in a situation of numerical superiority and an unbalanced score.

“…More specifically, past research in this scientific area reveal the interest of the scientific community in detecting the differences between winners and losers’ teams. Comparisons between offensive and defensive actions, goals or points, interactions between players, and assists are the most commonly used factors assessed by researchers in basketball ( Blake, 2015 ; Madarame, 2017 , 2018 ), football ( Lago-Peñas, 2007 ; Szwarc, 2007 ; Rumpf et al, 2017 ; Sarmento et al, 2018b ), female handball ( Ohnjec et al, 2008 ; Costa, 2018 ), and other collective sports ( Vaz et al, 2011 ; García-Marín and Argudo Iturriaga, 2017 ).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine differences related to the offensive process between winning and losing teams among teams participating in the European Handball Federation Champions League (EHFCL) in 55 matches across five seasons. The key indicators used in this study are the offensive actions, team possession type and the zones of the field, goals, and shooting effectiveness. A total of 34 indicators were analyzed and compared using Mann-Whitney U tests. Sixteen key indicators are identified to confirm differences both from the aspect of the collective game in terms of assists (9.10 ± 2.75 vs. 7.29 ± 2.65), goals of positional attack (21.38 ± 4.60 vs. 18.20 ± 3.62) and from the aspect of individual goals from 6 m (16.67 ± 3.98 vs. 13.64 ± 3.70), and the effectiveness of shots (68.19 ± 6.83 vs. 59.41 ± 6.33). Winning teams performed better regarding the variables that defined the effectiveness of offensive shots, especially successful positioned attacks and fast attacks. They also had a greater number of assists. The profiles of the most successful teams can help coaches and practitioners to achieve better performances adjusting the training process according the performance indicators that seem to lead more often to success.

“…In the second stage, we redesigned the observational tool and created an automatic data collection panel. After presenting and discussing the instrument at the 13 th Andebol Technical-Scientific Congress (Lisbon, 2016), the expert opinions were considered to improve the design of the tool and a registration panel was developed using the software Lince V 1.3 (Gabin, Camerino, Anguera, & Castañer, 2012), which had already been used in similar studies (García-Marín & Iturriaga, 2017;Lozano, Camerino & Hileno, 2016;Suárez-Cadenas, & Courel-Ibáñez, 2017;Trejo & Planas, 2018). To check the functionality of the instrument, it was used to collect data from the 2018 EHF Champions League Final Four matches.…”

The objective of this study was to design and study the validity and reliability characteristics of an observational instrument to assess the tactical behavior of pivots in handball and its influence on tactical performance of the team. The process consisted of five stages. In the first two, a combined instrument using field formats and category repertoires was designed. The third stage consisted of validating the content by consulting a panel of highly qualified experts. The fourth phase produced reliability indices, according to Cohen’s Kappa test, for both inter-observer and intra-observer performance, of over .86. Finally, the instrument was applied to a pilot study; a correlational study using Pearson’s Chi-squared test yielded very significant dependence coefficients (p<.001) among variables, confirming the usefulness of the instrument in the search for tactical performance indicators related to the handball pivot.
