Abstract

ABSTRACTIndications of laterall biases favouring left-handers have been found in various sports; especially interactive sports where the athletes have limited time to react to incoming objects. The aim of this study was therefore to explore whether any lateral biases exist in handball by examining 7-meter shots. A total of 6846 7-meter throws from 240 7-meter shooters across four seasons in the semi-professional Icelandic elite handball division (male and female) were analyzed. Out of the 240 7-meter shooters, of which 151 were male and 89 were female, 22% were left-handed (22% of the males and 20% of the females). The left-handed 7-meter shooters took a disproportionate number of the 7-meter shots, with left-handed shooters performing 29% of the 7-meter shots (27% in the male league and 33% in the female league). The results of a Bayesian two-level analysis indicated that left-handedness is not associated with greater success from the 7-meter line at the semi-professional level.

他们生来就是为了得分吗？半职业手球投臂与7米线得分的关系。

在各种运动中都发现了偏向左投手的偏侧倾向的迹象；尤其是运动员对进入的物体做出反应的时间有限的交互式运动。因此，本研究的目的是通过检查7米射门来探索手球中是否存在任何侧向偏差。对冰岛半职业精英手球赛区240名7米射击运动员在四个赛季中（男性和女性）的6846次7米投掷进行了分析。在240名7米射击运动员中，151人为男性，89人为女性，22%为左撇子（22%为男性，20%为女性）。左撇子7米射手在7米投篮中的命中率不成比例，其中左撇子射手的7米投篮命中率为29%（男性联盟为27%，女性联盟为33%）。贝叶斯两级分析的结果表明，在半专业水平上，左撇子与7米线的更大成功无关。

期刊介绍： Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition publishes high quality research on all aspects of lateralisation in humans and non-human species. Laterality"s principal interest is in the psychological, behavioural and neurological correlates of lateralisation. The editors will also consider accessible papers from any discipline which can illuminate the general problems of the evolution of biological and neural asymmetry, papers on the cultural, linguistic, artistic and social consequences of lateral asymmetry, and papers on its historical origins and development. The interests of workers in laterality are typically broad.
