Abstract

Coaches can use time-out (TTo) to influence performance and use this moment to give tactical instructions and make visible structural modifications (modifications of the game system and players’ substitutions). The aim of the present work is the analysis of the time-out usage and its influence on the game performance. 578 TTo were analyzed in three international handball competitions with two different regulations on the number of time-outs available. The variables were: competition, outcome, final difference, difference in the scoreboard during the time-out, difference five minutes before the time-out, defensive change, players’ substitution and finalization of the five attacks previous and later to TTo. The use of TTo is mostly done by teams losing or which have had a bad streak on the scoreboard, being the latest factor the most decisive one for its application. Although the percentage of positive actions generally increases after the application of TTo, if analyzed in relation to the visible structural changes, players’ substitutions are more effective than defensive system changes.
