Goalball is a Paralympic sport exclusively for athletes who are visually impaired and blind. The aims of this study were twofold: to describe game performance of elite male goalball players based upon the degree of visual impairment, and to determine if game performance was related to anthropometric characteristics of elite male goalball players. The study sample consisted of 44 male goalball athletes. A total of 38 games were recorded during the Summer Paralympic Games in London 2012. Observations were reported using the Game Efficiency Sheet for Goalball. Additional anthropometric measurements included body mass (kg), body height (cm), the arm span (cm) and length of the body in the defensive position (cm). The results differentiating both groups showed that the players with total blindness obtained higher means than the players with visual impairment for game indicators such as the sum of defense (p = 0.03) and the sum of good defense (p = 0.04). The players with visual impairment obtained higher results than those with total blindness for attack efficiency (p = 0.04), the sum of penalty defenses (p = 0.01), and fouls (p = 0.01). The study showed that athletes with blindness demonstrated higher game performance in defence. However, athletes with visual impairment presented higher efficiency in offensive actions. The analyses confirmed that body mass, body height, the arm span and length of the body in the defensive position did not differentiate players' performance at the elite level.
盲人门球是一项专为视力受损和失明运动员举办的残奥会项目。本研究的目的有两个：一是根据视力受损程度描述精英男性盲人门球运动员的比赛表现，二是确定比赛表现是否与精英男性盲人门球运动员的人体测量特征相关。研究样本包括44名男性盲人门球运动员。在2012年伦敦夏季残奥会上共记录了38场比赛。使用盲人门球比赛效率表报告观察结果。额外的人体测量包括体重（kg）、身高（cm）、臂展（cm）和防守姿势下的身体长度（cm）。区分两组的结果表明，在防守总和（p = 0.03）和好防守总和（p = 0.04）等比赛指标方面，全盲运动员的平均值高于视力受损运动员。在进攻效率（p = 0.04）、罚球防守总和（p = 0.01）和犯规（p = 0.01）方面，视力受损运动员的结果高于全盲运动员。研究表明，失明运动员在防守方面表现出更高的比赛水平。然而，视力受损运动员在进攻行动中表现出更高的效率。分析证实，体重、身高、臂展和防守姿势下的身体长度在精英水平上并不能区分运动员的表现。
