The efficiency of elements of collective attack tactics in handball

On a sample of 90 matches of the First Croatian Handball League for men we determined the performance efficiency of 19 elements of collective tactics describing the duration, continuity, systems, organisation and spatial direction of attacks in competitive circumstances. We used an analysis of variance and discriminant analysis with appropriate parameters. The results of the research show the insufficient presence of what are otherwise the most efficient attacks on an unorganised defence and the frequent realisation of short position attacks on a set defence. No significant differences were established in efficiency between the game systems involving one as opposed to two pivots, while the system with no pivots was the least efficient. Attacks based on the group co-operation of a smaller number of players and on the collective combinatory activity are more frequent but less efficient than attacks based on individual actions. Attacks directed at depth with an attempt to finish from line positions are significantly more efficient than attacks directed at width. The research results can improve the tactical performance of a team and training practice so that in their tactical preparation more attention is paid to the most efficient tactical actions.
