The purpose of this study was to analyze the on-court demands of handball players during the European Handball Federation Champions League Final Four (VELUX EHF FINAL4) 2019 to define time-motion characteristics (played time; covered distances) both in offense and defense. Furthermore; we aimed to define position-specific demands and differences among them. Forty players from three teams were analyzed during the tournament using a local positioning system (LPS) for the first time in top handball. Players covered similar distances both in offense (1388.28 ± 2627.08 m), and in defense (1305.47 ± 5059.64 m) and remained on court for a similar average time (15.69 ± 8.02 min and 15.40 ± 8.94 min respectively). When locomotion activities were normalized according to the time they spent on court; significant differences were found for defense compared to offense in walking (+20%; < 0.000; Cohen's effect size (ES) = 1.01) and jogging (-29.6%; = 0.000; ES = 0.90), as well as a tendency for high-intensity running (+ 25.2%; = 0.077; ES = 0.31). Per playing position; center and left back (CB = 94.86 ± 10.98 m·min; LB = 96.55 ± 24.65 m·min) showed the highest running pace in offense and mid-left; front center defender and outside right for the defense (ML = 90.38 ± 30.16 m·min; FCD = 87.04 ± 14.94 m·min; OR = 89.64 ± 34.93 m·min). In conclusion; profile differences existed among players' position activity; both in offense and defense; which should be taken into account when designing specific physical training programs.
这项研究的目的是分析 2019 年欧洲手球联合会冠军联赛四强赛（VELUX EHF FINAL4）中手球运动员的场上需求，以确定进攻和防守时的时间运动特征（比赛时间；跑动距离）。此外，我们旨在确定特定位置的需求和它们之间的差异。在这项比赛中，我们首次使用本地定位系统（LPS）对来自三支球队的 40 名球员进行了分析。球员在进攻中覆盖的距离相似（1388.28±2627.08 m），在防守中覆盖的距离也相似（1305.47±5059.64 m），在场上的平均时间也相似（15.69±8.02 min 和 15.40±8.94 min）。当根据他们在场上的时间将运动活动标准化时，与进攻相比，防守在步行（+20%；<0.000；Cohen 效应大小（ES）=1.01）和慢跑（-29.6%；=0.000；ES=0.90）方面存在显著差异，高强度跑步也有增加的趋势（+25.2%；=0.077；ES=0.31）。按场上位置划分，中锋和左后卫（CB=94.86±10.98 m·min；LB=96.55±24.65 m·min）在进攻中表现出最高的跑动速度，而在防守中，中场左路、中前场防守队员和右外场球员的跑动速度最快（ML=90.38±30.16 m·min；FCD=87.04±14.94 m·min；OR=89.64±34.93 m·min）。总之，进攻和防守中球员位置活动存在特征差异，在设计特定的体能训练计划时应考虑到这一点。
