“…Wing and pivot players have similar passing numbers on average, but are significantly less involved in structuring interplay. This is in line with Foretic et al (2013) who, in their study on situational efficiency in men's top-level handball, ascribe back players the task of organizing the game with the aim of creating a favorable position for attack completion. The resulting three hierarchy layers of centrality also reveal a symmetric level of involvement between left-and right-sided players, especially in regard to the LB and RB.…”

The aim of this study was to characterize handball from a social network analysis perspective by analyzing 22 professional matches from the 2018 European Men's Handball Championship. Social network analysis has proven successful in the study of sports dynamics to investigate the interaction patterns of sport teams and the individual involvement of players. In handball, passing is crucial to establish an optimal position for throwing the ball into the goal of the opponent team. Moreover, different tactical formations are played during a game, often induced by two-minute suspensions or the addition of an offensive player replacing the goalkeeper as allowed by the International Handball Federation since 2016. Therefore, studying the interaction patterns of handball teams considering the different playing positions under various attack formations contributes to the tactical understanding of the sport. Degree and flow centrality as well as density and centralization values were computed. As a result, quantification of the contribution of individual players to the overall organization was achieved alongside the general balance in interplay. We identified the backcourt as the key players to structure interplay across tactical formations. While attack units without a goalkeeper were played longer, they were either more intensively structured around back positions (7 vs. 6) or spread out (5 + 1 vs. 6). We also found significant differences in the involvement of wing players across formations. The additional pivot in the 7 vs. 6 formation was mostly used to create space for back players and was less involved in interplay. Social network analysis turned out as a suitable method to govern and quantify team dynamics in handball.

“…O handebol, caracterizado como esporte de invasão, é composto por diferentes dimensões do rendimento (técnica, tática e preparação física) que podem influenciar o resultado da partida. A dimensão tática apresenta-se como decisiva, uma vez que o resultado não depende apenas da execução das habilidades (2) , mas dos contextos e momentos específicos nos quais são utilizadas.…”

“…Longer distance gives wing players more opportunity for developing speed. Obviously, sprinting skills are particularly crucial for wing players, as they are more involved in fast breaks and counterattacks during a game than the other playing positions (Rogulj et al, 2011;Foreti et al, 2013).…”

“…Yet, no data on maximal jumping height was found in our literature review. Highest jumps from backcourt players may be associated with their need to shoot from over the defense, especially in its middle segment, where the tallest players are defending (Foreti et al, 2013). On the other hand, wing players and pivots are more focused on "angle opening", since their shooting positions are rarely interfered with defender blocking actions.…”

This study aimed to determine the differences in situational power performance between playing positions in handball. The following variables were analyzed: body height and weight, fastest shot, fastest sprint, highest jump, and average game time. The study sample comprised 412 handball players who participated at European championships. Backcourt players had the fastest shots and wing players presented the slowest shots among all playing positions. Wing players presented the fastest sprinting (29.09 km/h). Jumping performance showed the most diversity between the playing positions, and backcourt players jumped significantly higher than other players (16.76 cm).
