THE INFLUENCE OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFIC MOTOR SKILLS ON SELECTION IN HANDBALL
Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2012, Vol 0, Issue 34
Abstract
On a sample of 64 handball players, 33 among whom have been selected for the national team and 31 of whom are first league handball players, the relations between morphological characteristics and motor abilities with respect to selection for the national team have been studied. The predictor variables included four from the domain of morphology and 8 from the sphere of motor abilities. Based on the obtained results of descriptive statistics a conclusion can be drawn that the mean values of morphological variables indicate that the handball players on the national team are taller on the average (191.79±5.67; 190.85±5.72, respectively) and the mean value of the planemetric parameter of the hand is larger (25.28±1.23; 25.06±1.06, respectively). Based on the obtained results of descriptive statistics a conclusion can be drawn that the mean values for variables in the sphere of motor abilities indicate that the selected handball players had, on average, better scores for the standing high jump variable (48.12±6.19; 44.90±6.85, respectively), long jump (252.18±18; 246.94±18.79, respectively), shot on a basketball board (69.52±6.63; 67.35±7.58, respectively), triple jump (771.48±83.64; 765.74±50.32, respectively), bench press (45.04±12.06; 42.45±12.83, respectively), whereas hand tapping showed almost identical results (4.45±0.56; 4.46±0.32, respectively) and the first league players were better at foot tapping (6.80±1.30; 6.98±1.10, respectively).
