Abstract
This paper aims at identifying the types of combined defense performance in each playing position in the ( 6 :0 ) closed defense formation and the (3:2:1) open defense formation in the Men's World Championship Spain ( 2013 ), and identifying the effectiveness of playing positions in these formations as used by the Egyptian team and comparing it with a number of other teams in the mentioned championship. The survey-descriptive method was used 19 matches were analyzed, covering different rounds played by France, Denmark, Spain, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland and Egypt, with a total of 4 matches per team. Results included identifying the types of combined defense performances in each playing position in the ( 6 :0 ) closed defense formation and the (3:2:1) open defense formation. Effectiveness of the Egyptian team was below average in the ( 6 :0 ) formation, ranking fourth among 6 teams. Effectiveness of the Egyptian team was low in the (3:2:1) open formation, ranking lst. According to the study results and the statistical analysis, the research team found the most important results are The highest degree of effectiveness in using the ( 6: 0 ) defense formation occurred in the teams of Croatia and Denmark, the low standard of the Egyptian national team in using this formation The team only got the last-but-one rank in the team classification. The highest degree of effectiveness in using the (3:2:1) defense formation occurred in the teams of Croatia and Slovenia , the low standard of the Egyptian national team in using this defense formation. The team got the last rank of effectiveness in the team classification. It is recommended to give due consideration to planning training programs based on results of this study and in a manner suitable to players' abilities and skills, while continuously developing and modifying the training program. Training models suggested should also be used by the team in order to upgrade the defense performance level of Egyptian handball teams.
