HANDBALL AS FORM OF RECREATION

Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2011, Vol 0, Issue 28

Abstract

The objective of the paper was to research the field of veteran handball. With a survey, which involved a questionnaire, we wanted to collect the data by which we could understand who the people that practice handball as recreation are and which are the main motives for choosing this form of recreation. Furthermore, we wanted to find out how succesfull the former handball players, undertaking handball recreational activities, were in their sports career as well as why and when they ended it up. At last, we wanted to figure out the ways of financing veteran handball and how often do the recreationists undertake their activities. The sample consisted of 144 recreational handball players, 83 Slovene and 61 Croatian. The data was collected with a survey based on a questionnaire and was analysed using the SPSS programme (Statistical Package for The Social Sciences). We found out that the handball recreational activities are mostly undertaken by former handball players who didn't achieve significant results during their active sports career. The recreational handball players mainly participate at the tournaments to meet people and have fun. It was also found out that the recreationists don't undertake their activities very often and that the costs arising from such activity are mostly covered by themselves.
