Metric Characteristic of The Newly Constructed Agility Test in Handball : Master's Thesis

Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 26 igrača iz dva različita kluba, od čega 13 iz RK Split, te 13 igrača RK Arbanasi iz Zadra. Cilj je bio utvrđivanje metrijskih karakteristika novo-konstruiranog testa te usporedba igrača prema rangu u kojem se klub natječe te po poziciji u igri. Za to su osim novo-konstruiranog testa, korištena dva već poznata testa, a to su: “T-test“ i “Koraci u stranu“. Utvrđene su vrlo dobre metrijske karakteristike kod novog testa pa su tako domene pouzdanost, homogenost, osjetljivost i faktorska valjanost bile zadovoljavajuće, izuzev pragmatičnosti koja nije dala očekivane rezultate. Dobiveni rezultati daju nam prostora za male korekcije testa kako bi bio još uspješniji. Test nam može poslužiti za selekciju sportaša i kao odličan trenažni stimulans.The research was constructed on a sample of 26 players from two different clubs, 13 of which are from RK Split and 13 players from RK Arbanasi , Zadar. The main goal was to determine metric characteristics of newly constructed test and comparing players participating in different leagues and by the positions in the game. In that purpose, we used newly constructed test and two already broadly known tests: “T-test“ and “Side steps“. We have established very good metric characteristics of the new test in domain of reliability, homogeneity, sensibility and factor's validity, while in the pragmatics domain we received unexpected results. Results give us some space for improvements of the test to make it more successful. Test can be used for selection of handball players as well as a great training stimulus
