This quantitative study conducted identifies the effectivity of shots from Handball back court players depending on their range to the goal by analyzing games from the EHF World Championship 2019. It herewith compares the general effectiveness measured in goals from long distance or attempts from the six-meter line. During the course of investigation, success is not only measured when a back-court player scores a goal but also when he is granted a penalty shot. Adding this factor to the rate of success, the study ultimately finds that when back court players attempt a shot on the goal from close range, the likelihood for success is significantly higher than when they shoot from the back-court.
