- Abstract
The aim of this study, was to determine and explain the differences between winning and defeated A1 handball women's teams, based on the analysis of the final offensive and technical errors during games that ended up to three goals difference. Through the Mann-Whitney U test, between 20 matches, the main results are as follows: The winning teams showed a larger total number of throws, with more throws from 9m, and lateral side, more penetrations and more counterattacks. The final effectiveness of the goalkeepers of the winning teams differed significantly (p <.001) from those of the losing teams. Winning goalkeepers had an average of 1.8 more saves per match. The winning teams performed on average significantly more fouls than the losers (p =.02), recording 8.6 more per match. In addition, the winning teams made significant (p=.03) less breaches of regulations that change the possession of the ball, with losers registering an average of 2.2 more offenses per match. The defending actions (fouls), technical mistakes, and overall performance of the goalkeeper appear to be the main factors that separate the winners from the losers in women's matches between equal opponents.
