| Summary: | The criteria's used for the International Handball Federation
for the selection of the participants of the World Championship in the
lower categories is based on the players born two years consecutively in
the same category, starting the cut in the people born in an even year.
During two seasons, these participants stay in the same category, and
when the two years finalize the whole group move up to the next
category.
The sample is of 384 handball players that competed in the last World
Championships of their category. The variables registered were the year
of birth.
The study took into account if the players were born in an even or odd
year. The differences between the portion of athletes born in an even year
and an odd year were calculated with the binominal test contrasting the
proportion of 50%.
In the male junior categories more players were born in an even year
than an odd year, with significant differences. |
