There are a lot of and a number of studies have been performed as to the importance of facilities use in sportsmen training.  Nowadays, when the amount of training load comes to quite high values, further improvement of sportsmanship in many aspects depends on intensification of the workout process. Skilled application of exercise machines and training devices plays an important role in intensification and improvement of performance during the workout process. The aim of the research is justification the control of training by qualified handballers with special technical devices. The necessity to use facilities during workout sessions in handball has been ascertained. Novel informative testing techniques using flashlight tests have been discussed. Application of test exercises, aimed at evaluation of psychomotor system by qualified handball players of the Ukrainian Super League, has been analyzed

Innovative Tests During Control Psychomotor Function by Qualified Handballers 
Zaporizhzhya National University, Zaporizhzhya 
 
Introduction. Some, training devices hold a prominent place in teaching sportsmen the handball playing 
technique (Leykin, 1999). The others unite separate elements of the technique into a whole movement. When 
specific capacity is developed properly and training devices are used skillfully, sportsmen acquire reasonable 
technique. In case there are mistakes during technique attainment, then the training devices are used for their 
elimination (with the selective influence on separate elements or the whole technique) (Popov, 1999). 
Generalized present-day knowledge of fundamentals of facilities allows us to choose the most advanced 
applications of exercise machines or new generation devices for workout process (Vodlozerov, 2011; 
Mokina, 2008). The issue is that correct goal-oriented use of exercise machines brings positive results and 
great achievements in sports (Alabin, Skripko, 1979). We can assume that the correct choice of exercise 
machines for workout sessions or testing is an important stage in the use of facilities. They are indispensable 
for the management and efficient workout process, which gives opportunity to promptly and objectively 
collect information about readiness of a sportsmanʼs body (Yushkevich, Vasyuk, Bulanov, 1989). 
Our own experience of scientific-practical work with combine teams and teams of Super league of 
Ukrainian championship, analysis of modern literature, devoted to this problem, give understanding that 
today one of problems is discordance of theoretical works about sport games and their insufficient 
implementation in practice. It permits for us to think this problem to be really urgent.  
The Aim of the Research. Justification the control of training by qualified handballers with special 
technical devices. 
Methods. This study included 85 male highly qualified handballers (age=23,48±3,68 years) from candidate 
master of sports (CMS) to international master of sports (IMS) of Ukraine by three teams competing in the Super 
League Ukraine «Motor», «ZTR», «ZNTU-ZAB» Zaporizhzhya. Teacher supervision took one microcycle                 
(3 days). The objectivity of the information has been provided by adherence to the standard conditions: 
– teacher supervision was performed in the morning from 9.00 AM till 12.00 AM; 
– exercises for evaluation have been performed after a basic lead-in and warming up of qualified 
handball players; 
– the results of psychomotor function have been determined at a separate training session; 
– repetition of exercise (tries) has been performed after a rest and after the sportsmen reached the heart 
rate below 110 bpm. 
Exposition of the Basic Material of the Research. In order to evaluate special condition (psychomotor 
function) of handball players, analysis of standard practices and specific character of competition-based activity in 
handball allowed us to propose and implement the following test exercises into the workout process of qualified 
teams of the Ukrainian Super League: the Flashlight Test (FlT), the Flashlight Handball Throw Test (FHTT) and 
the Complex Flashlight Handball Test (CFlHT). They are of crucial importance in most game situations and to the 
full extent reflect the following technical and tactical actions of players and a team during competitions: 
 active counteract to the attack of the opponents;  
 correction of technical and tactical actions in response to the change of the system of offense; 
 switch of defensive players while marking offense;  
 performance of backup and parallel movement in defense; 
 performance of attacks and defensive technical and tactical actions in the setting of numerical 
disadvantage, majority in number etc. 
The Flashlight Test (Tyshchenko, 2014) allowed us to determine the attention switch rate and special 
capacity of handball players under conditions of active choice of useful information. The structure of 
exercise performance was the following: 5 stands with LED lamps were located in the center of the 9-meter 
line (line of active defense). 
It should be noted that LED lamps have been used as a signal stimulus during performance of an 
exercise. The flash of one or another lamp was controlled by computer application of basic random numbers. 
The distance between the stands was 1 m. A handball player started doing the exercise from the middle of 
the 6-meter line (the goal line). On a coach signal, the sportsman dashed from the standing start to the stand, 
where the light flashed. When he touched the stand, he ran back to the starting place. During the exercise

performance the number of touches of the stand during 30 second has been counted. To get the better result 
qualified handball players had two tries for the performance of this exercise. 
The sportsmen have performed the Complex Flashlight Handball Test (CFlHT) from the standing start 
on the signal of a coach (Fig.1).  
 
Fig. 1.  Complex Flashlight Handball Test (CFlHT) performance scheme: 
А, В – halves of the playground, 1 – 9-meter line (line of active defense), 2 – 6-meter line (goal zone), 3 – goal,                      
4 – throw, 5 – backward run, 6 – forward run, 7 – stands,8 – ball, 9 – dribbling 
It involved performance of the basic technical and tactical actions in handball: movement with change 
of direction, ways of movement (forward and backward, sidesteps and cross steps), ball pickup and dribbling 
throw of the ball on the goal square, above which the light flashed. To provide performance of the exercise in 
the middle of the 6-meter line (goal line) and 9-meter line (active defense line) the stands (4 in all) have been 
located on the both sides of the playground. The performance of this exercise started from the 6-meter line 
and involved three runs around the first couple of stands on the first half of the playground acceleration to 
the second half of the playground (В) and tree runs around the second couple of stands. After this, the ball, 
located near the stand at the 6-meter line of the second half of the playground, was picked up, then - 
dribbling from the 9-meter line of the first half of the playground, and the jump shot was performed on the 
same half of the playground. It should be noted that the stands have been run around (on the A and В halves 
of the playground) forward to the central line. In this wise the sportsman ran forward from the 6-meter line to 
the 9-meter line, and backward from the 9-meter line to the 6-meter line. Running in this section from the 
one half of the playground to the second one and dribbling were forward. The time for performance of the 
test exercise has been registered from the moment the sportsman started the movement on the 6-meter line 
until the ball crossed the goal line. 
With the help of the Flashlight Handball Throw Test (FlHTT) the rate of technical competence has been 
monitored in game situations, related to active attacks, in situations of set offense, as in counter-attacks and in 
drawing of standards. The performance of this test exercise involved the use of basic effectively significant 
technical and tactical actions during attack by qualified handball players: movement with change of direction, way 
of movement (forward and backward, sidestep and cross-step), handling, throwing the ball on the goal.  
The content of the routine involved alternate regulated performance of throws on the goal by qualified 
handball players after handoff from co-instructors. Starting location for the exercise – 12 m from the face 
line (3 meters from the 9-meter line of active defense). The sportsmen had two acceptance trials, the best of 
which was scored (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2. Flashlight Handball Throw Test (FlHTT) performance scheme: 
1 – sportsman, 2 – co-instructors, 3 – goal, 4 – throw, 5 – sportsman's movement, 6 – 6-meter line of the goal zone,                  
7 – 9-meter line (line of active defense), 8 – handling of the ball from the co-instructor to the sportsman 
The sportsman must alternately perform throws from the 9-meter line after movement along it to one or 
another side. It should be noted that that the throws have been performed into the goal square, above which 
the light flashed. The total time for performance of the exercise was 30 sec and it has been recorded from the 
moment the first throw had been made. Within this time the number of balls, thrown exactly into the relevant 
areas, has been calculated. 
Discussion. The study of various types of psychomotor response of sportsmen has not only theoretical, but, 
in the first place, practical importance in the selection of space-time regimens for movements management when 
teaching techniques of new exercises and performing set of exercises.  The two components can be distinguished 
in the motor response: sensor, which is characterizing information perception, and motor, which is directly 
responsible for the movement. However, in the setting of competition-based activity, handball players must 
display the complex of these components in a good manner.  
In this wise, we can state that training facilities for improvement of significant number of specific 
physical properties (coordination, speed endurance, technical endurance etc) can be used to enhance overall 
performance of special condition of qualified handball players. In addition, efficient training facilities, aimed 
at improvement of coordination skills of sportsmen, should be used. 
Conclusions. During CFlHT, orientation in mid-air, balance in combination with speed performance 
(agility) are dominating and for performance of FlHT latent time of complex reaction and the time of single 
movement have the same significance. Coordination skills and the extent to which they are developed are 
closely connected with formation of technique for sport exercises (Portnov, YU.M. 1996; Bulkin, V.A. 
1983). Taking this into consideration, it can be assumed, that the use of facilities, aimed at development of 
special coordination skills, shall have positive effect on the level of technical competence of sportsmen and, 
particularly, the realizable component of technical and tactical actions of qualified handball players. 
Prospective of the Further Researches. Performed research does not cover all the sides of the analyzed 
problem. It confirms the necessity of precise attention to the further deep theoretical-methodological work and 
improvement of realization practice for the innovative control system into the preparation system of the higher 
qualification handball teams. The main goal for the further usage of this information – definition of the potential 
possibilities, their correspondence to the demands and correction of the preparation process.
