Abstract
Goal-throw risk estimation. The purpose of this work is to study the effect of distance between offence player and defense player on the perceived goal thr owing risk. 69 handball players participated in the experiment: 33 women (12 apprentices, 11 juniors and 10 seniors) and 36 men (13 apprentices, 15 juniors and 8 seniors). The magnitude estimation method with seven stimuli (distances) and one standard was used. Results indicate that the players assign different risk values to different distances. Apprentice men assign bigger risk values to intermediate distances, and the another players to the shortest ones but there are differences between categories and sex.
