Individual and collective psychomotor performances in male handball

The aim of our present study was to assist the practical job of trainers and teachers within the area of education and check utilizing the results of our research. We consider our study as an initiative research that makes a great step towards the analysis of the sport game tactics.; There are two ways applied in the Ph.D. thesis.; The main outcomes of our double aspect empirical research were the following: (1) On the grounds of match observations, the conformation of attacks in the modern handball was investigated considering the completion of the attacks. The attack completions can realize in several different ways, and they could be analysed according to the frequency of occurrence, the scored goals or their efficiency. Dominance of the center backs can be observed during the organized attack against a set-up defense. Long range shots are the most frequent attack completion of game situations that comes after negative and positive connection between the variables of the other game situations. Other players such as wingers or pivot players have fewer number of scoring situations, thus the performance of the team claims better situation utilization from them. (2) A measuring method has been elaborated based on typical completions of the attacks. It models the most important features of live situations. The survey carried out with 200 Hungarian players has proved that the more time the player spends in playing handball, the greater development can be observed in his general performance. The dominance of center backs are justified by the on-site measures, as their performance was always on the highest level in all age-categories. Performance development of the wingers and pivots can be observed after 5-6 age categories. In the model situations the long range shots proved to be the most unsuccessful, even in case of specialists (center backs), as well. This moderate performance can be explained by the distance from the goal, and the difficult implementation of the shot requiring special skills. Thus the close-range zone had high standard, and those situations proved to be successful, in which the team mates cooperated.
