Experimental Study on Selection and Optimization of specific Physical Training in Handball Game according to the Level of Dominance of the cerebral Hemispheres

Abstract

This study is an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the selection process on the axis: specific physical training - level functional dominance of the cerebral hemispheres, the purpose was to identify a possible determinism in this direction. Research subjects were organized into two groups of 20 children (handball beginners players) ranging from age 11 to 12 years old. The experimental group was set up by a hemispherical model made in advance by analyzing a representative sample of senior athletes and the control group included athletes selected in accordance with the selection criteria established in the sport. After this step, it was applied a series of samples two times (intervals of a year) to identify possible differences in the evolution of sports for the subjects of the two groups. The overall conclusion of this study was that the use of the hemispheric dominance criterion leads to an efficient selection process.
