Abstract

This study aim is to identify the factors which influence the effectiveness of the goalkeeper at the 7 m throws. The study is based on the analysis of recordings made at 74 official games of the National Men’s Handball League - Edition 2012-2013. These recordings were made either by direct participation in official games or by watching games’ DVD. The variables recorded were: goalkeeper position at the throw, throwing technique used by the thrower, the target area and the goalkeeper status (component of the home team or the guest team). Among the study’s conclusion we noted that the effectiveness of the goalkeepers at saving penalty throws is lower when the throws are bounced than at direct throws and goalkeepers have a higher efficiency in the 7 m throws when playing as guest than when they are playing as host team. Comparing the average effectiveness of the Romanian goalkeepers at 7m throws (17.21%) with the average effectiveness of the goalkeepers from the teams placed in the first six places at the World Cup 2013 - Spain (32.3%) we observe a difference of 15.09 percentage points. The recommendations we made have practical effects both for goalkeepers on effective saving and for field players in scoring training.
