RESUMO
Aim: The main aim of this study was to identify the effects of match location, quality of opponents and match status on possession during the 2015/16 Season of England Premier League. Methods: Three hundred and eighty matches played by 20 teams were analysed. For each match, two values were recorded, resulting in 760 observations. Results Teams who played at home (51.77 ± 10.22%) presented higher possession values (EF=moderate) than those who played away (48.21 ± 10.30%). Quality of opponents also had a significant difference, as possession was higher (EF=large) when teams played against weak (52.30 ± 9.77%) than strong opponents (46.48 ± 10.38%). The multivariate analysis revealed no interaction between situational variables and possession (p = 0.76). Despite the teams classified as "best-ranking" (1st to 8th position: 50.60 ± 10.35%) presented greater possession (EF=moderate) than "worst-ranking" (9st to 20th position: 47.59 ± 9.74%), no significant differences were found in the comparisons of match status (winner [50.34 ± 10.48%] x drawer [49.95 ± 10.25%] x loser [49.68 ± 10.48%]). Conclusion: General interpretations should be viewed with caution, since this possession can represent an indicator of success for a team but not for others.(AU)

O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar a associação dos diferentes indicadores de desempenho, registados nos últimos 10 minutos do jogo de handebol, com o desfecho da partida em função da qualidade do adversário, local e equilíbrio do jogo. A amostra foi constituída por 1551 processos ofensivos e 1549 processos defensivos registados em 150 períodos de 10 minutos, observados em 75 jogos, realizados por nove equipes da Liga Portuguesa de Handebol de Seniores Masculinos na época de 2008/2009. Para o registro dos dados foi desenvolvido um sistema de observação, composto por oito variáveis de desempenho (relação numérica, fase do jogo, substituições, ações ofensivas, ações defensivas, sanções disciplinares, resultado da posse de bola e resultado do jogo) e três variáveis contextuais (local do jogo, qualidade do adversário e equilíbrio da partida). A análise da relação entre o desempenho, o resultado da partida e as variáveis contextuais foi feita com recurso ao teste do Qui-quadrado e aos modelos log-lineares. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que os indicadores associados ao resultado final são: a eficácia do goleiro, a eficácia de finalização, as substituições defesa-ataque e o número de contra-ataques. O equilíbrio da partida relaciona-se significativamente com o número de substituições, as interrupções do ataque por faltas defensivas, a eficácia de finalização da 1ª linha e os erros ofensivos
The purpose of this study was to verify the association of different performance indicators, registered in the last ten minutes of handball game, with the match outcome according to quality of opposition, game location, and match equilibrium. The sample consisted of 1551 offensive processes and 1549 defensive processes recorded in 150 ten-minute periods from 75 matches played by nine teams from the Portuguese Handball Men League in the 2008/2009 season. The observational system included eight performance variables (numerical relationship, game phase, substitutions, offensive actions, defensive actions, personal punishments, result of ball possession and match outcome) and three contextual variables (game location, quality of opposition and match equilibrium). The relationship between performance and contextual variables has been analyzed using log-linear models and chi-square test.The results suggest that the indicators associated with the match outcome are: the goalkeeper efficacy, the shot efficacy, the defense-attack substitutions and total of fast breaks. The match equilibrium was significantly related to the number of substitutions, defensive fouls, offensive errors and the efficacy of long-distance throws
