Development of peripheral vision in handball players of various positions by means of special exercises

Abstract

The scientific article proves the need for the development of peripheral vision in handball players, taking into account their playing role. Based on the analysis of competitive activity, a special set of exercises has been developed that simulates typical game situations for a goalkeeper, an outfield, a point guard, a welterweight and a lineman. 14 handball athletes took part in the pedagogical experiment. It was found that the use of the proposed set of exercises provided a significant increase in indicators for the inner, upper and lower boundaries of the visual fields in the experimental group by 5-7%. In the control group, which was engaged in the traditional program, the positive dynamics was less pronounced and amounted to 3-4%. The results obtained confirm the effectiveness of targeted peripheral perception training to increase the reliability of handball players' game actions in defense and attack.
