The main objective of this research is to focus on a systematic review of the literature on handball, to identify potential areas for future research in this specific area of specialization. The most common research topics were identified, their methodologies were described, and the evolutionary tendencies of this area of research were systematized. Within a systematic review of the Web of Science TM Core Collection, PubMed, and SportDiscus databases, according to the PRISMA guidelines, the following keywords were used: “handball”, each one associated with the terms: “match analysis”, “performance analysis”, “notational analysis”, “game analysis”, “tactical analysis”, and “patterns of play”. Of the 245 studies initially identified, 28 were fully reviewed, and their results were analysed. Studies that meet all the inclusion criteria were organized according to the research design as descriptive, comparative, or predictive. The results showed that most of the studies use the statistics available through the tournament organization; some researchers have attempted to find some association between cause and effect in different contexts. The studies focused their analysis on four main variables of performance: total shots and finals, end match outcome, Time Outs (TTos), and the relationship between home advantage. This systematic review can provide useful information on potential lines of research for performance analysts in the field of handball match analysis.

手球比赛分析：系统评价

这项研究的主要目的是集中于对手球文献的系统回顾，以查明在该特定专业领域中未来研究的潜在领域。确定最常见的研究主题，描述其方法，并系统化该研究领域的发展趋势。在对Web of Science TM核心集合，PubMed和SportDiscus数据库的系统评价中，根据PRISMA准则，使用了以下关键字：“手球”，每个与以下术语相关联：“比赛分析”，“性能分析” ”，“符号分析”，“游戏分析”，“战术分析”和“游戏模式”。在最初确定的245项研究中，有28项经过了全面审查，并对结果进行了分析。符合所有纳入标准的研究根据研究设计进行了描述性，比较性或预测性组织。结果表明，大多数研究使用的是赛事组织提供的统计数据。一些研究人员试图在不同背景下找到因果关系。这些研究将他们的分析集中在表现的四个主要变量上：总杆数和决赛，结局结果，超时（TTos）以及主场优势之间的关系。这项系统的综述可以为手球比赛分析领域的性能分析人员提供有关潜在研究领域的有用信息。结果表明，大多数研究使用的是赛事组织提供的统计数据。一些研究人员试图在不同背景下找到因果关系。这些研究将他们的分析集中在表现的四个主要变量上：总杆数和决赛，结局结果，超时（TTos）以及主场优势之间的关系。这项系统的综述可以为手球比赛分析领域的性能分析人员提供有关潜在研究领域的有用信息。结果表明，大多数研究使用的是赛事组织提供的统计数据。一些研究人员试图在不同背景下找到因果关系。这些研究将他们的分析集中在表现的四个主要变量上：总杆数和决赛，结局结果，超时（TTos）以及主场优势之间的关系。这项系统的综述可以为手球比赛分析领域的性能分析人员提供有关潜在研究领域的有用信息。
