Dobószázalék

Dobószázalék is a Hungarian term that translates to "percussion percentage" or "drumming percentage." It is a metric used in sports, particularly in handball, to quantify the frequency of illegal physical contact made by a player's hands or arms. In handball, players are allowed to use their bodies to defend and block opponents, but intentionally striking, hitting, or pushing an opponent with the hands or arms is considered a foul.

The dobószázalék is calculated by dividing the number of illegal hand or arm contacts by the total number of defensive actions or ball contacts a player has during a game. A high dobószázalék indicates that a player is frequently committing fouls through illegal hand or arm use, suggesting a need for improvement in their defensive technique. Conversely, a low dobószázalék suggests that a player is effectively defending without resorting to such fouls.

Coaches and analysts use this metric to assess player performance and identify areas for training. It helps in understanding a player's discipline and adherence to the rules of the game. While the exact calculation method might vary slightly between different leagues or coaching philosophies, the core concept remains the same: measuring the incidence of illegal hand and arm contact. It serves as a tool for promoting fair play and refining defensive strategies in sports where such contact is prohibited.
