Selection biases in elite youth handball
Talent selections in youth sports are frequently biased regarding the maturation and relative age of the players, with preference given to more mature and relatively older players. It thus can be hypothesized that relatively younger players born at the end of the selection year must mature earlier to compensate for this disadvantage. Hence, this study investigated maturation, relative age, and their association in the talent selection of German y…
Longitudinal investigations of development in handball and its association with relative age effects
In this paper, we describe two studies on the association among long-term developmental outcomes and relative age effects. To extend or compliment the cross-sectional work done previously, these studies take different approaches to investigate the association of relative age effects on long-term development. In the first, a retrospective approach is taken, while in the second, developmental data for players over a 4-year period is considered. In …
An investigation on main effects and interactions of relative age effects and playing position in female elite football in Germany
Athlete age-grouping and age-banding has been shown to impact sport participation and athlete development. The current study examined the impact of within-year (WYEs) and between-year effects (BYEs), and their interactions with playing position, on female participation in elite German football. The sample of 1,378 German first-league players revealed expected participation inequities within-year with relatively older players being over-represente…
Expert goalkeepers' and coaches' views on anticipation and cue utilisation facing backcourt throws in handball goalkeeping
IntroductionHandball goalkeepers have to act under severe spatio-temporal pressure in both standardised (e.g., 7 m penalty) and non-standardised situations (e.g., backcourt throws) which require them to predict action outcome before ball flight is visible. So far, research on goalkeepers' cue utilisation for anticipation of an opponent's action has mainly focused on 7 m throw situations whereas little attention has been paid to the latter, more c…
Handedness and Relative Age in International Elite Interactive Individual Sports Revisited
Relative age effects (RAE) describe the unintended side effect of annual age grouping such that athletes born close to a specific cutoff date are more likely to be associated with attaining higher performance status than athletes born later. One factor suggested to override the RAE is handedness. Given the left-handers' rarity and their proposed performance advantage in interactive sports, left-handedness may be associated with a lower likelihood…
Looking to Learn Better - Training of Perception-Specific Focus of Attention Influences Quiet Eye Duration but Not Throwing Accuracy in Darts
Investigations of the association of focus of attention and quiet eye duration have shown mixed results. It is possible that when focusing on visuo-motor learning a more sensitive category system of instructions might be useful. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of focus of attention and quiet eye duration in darts. In addition to locus-directed foci (external, internal), perception-directed (visual, kinesthetic) foci of at…
On the Influence of Action Preference on Female Players' Gaze Behavior During Defense of Volleyball Attacks
Knowledge of an opponent's action preference may affect visual anticipation of their action outcome. Specifically, if an opponent acts according to their purported preference, anticipation may be facilitated. Conversely, if an opponent does not act according to their purported preference, anticipation may be unaffected or even harmed. The underlying perceptual-cognitive mechanisms of that effect, however, remain unclear. Here we tested the hypoth…

Does relative age influence motor test performance of fourth grade pupils
The aim of the current study was to explore relative age’s influence on physical and motor tests among fourth grade children (9 to 10 years) from Germany. Data from 1218 children (49% female) who had performed the German Motor Ability Test (Bös et al., 2009) were analysed. The test battery, which was comprised of physical and motor tests, included 20 m sprint, balance backwards, jumping sideways, stand and reach, push-ups, sit-ups, standing broad…
