Discriminatory power of women's handball game-related statistics at the Olympic Games (2004-2016)
PAPESH Staff (Saavedra, J.M., Þorgeirsson, S., Chang, M., Kristjánsdóttir, H) and a colleague from Chile, have published the paper entitled: “Discriminatory power of women's handball game-related statistics at the Olympic Games (2004-2016)” in the Journal of Human Kinetics.
The results showed the differences between winning and losing teams were red cards and assists. Also, the discriminant analysis selected five variables (shots, goalkeeper-blocked shots, technical fouls, steals, and goalkeeper-blocked fast-break shots) that classified correctly 83% of matches. The selected variables included offensive and defensive predictors. Coaches and players can use these results as a reference against which to assess their performance and plan training.
