The main objective of this study was to identify the positional attack performance indicators of the Spanish handball team during the World Championship in Japan 2019, in which they were runners-up. Using an idiographic, observational, follow-up and multidimensional design, positional attacks played with equal numbers of 6 vs. 6 were recorded and analysed, excluding attacks carried out with an empty goal. The polar coordinates technique made it possible, on the one hand, to identify behavioural patterns and, on the other, performance indicators related to: the continuity of attack, the situations used to generate imbalances in the opposing defence, and the actions involved in the completion of the attack. For this purpose, two levels of analysis were carried out: each match independently and all matches together. The results obtained show that each match presented its own specific game dynamics, as different behavioural patterns were triggered and different performance indicators emerged depending on the match. These findings highlight the variability and dynamic nature of the offensive behaviours and performance indicators of the World Cup runners-up team. The need to study performance indicators through research that respects their specific and changing nature is emphasised.
