Introduction. The article analyzes the effectiveness of the indicators of the competitive activity of handball players at the World Championship (WC) using calculated quantitative and qualitative values. It is established that the results obtained are one of the leading components of the training and competitive processes. It is noted that when building the training and competitive processes of handball players, it is necessary to take into account the trends in the development of world handball, the structure and content of competitive activity. This is confirmed by the presence of a significant arsenal of means of struggle and their tactical use by players of various game roles. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of team actions of men’s national teams at the 2025 World Handball Championship in order to improve the training process. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literature and the Internet (sources were studied in accordance with the research problem); analysis of documentary materials (analysis of competitive activity protocols was conducted); system analysis method (used for a logical and consistent approach to organizing and obtaining research results); chronological method (allowed us to study sources that reveal the essence of the research and obtaining results from the beginning to the end of the competition); methods of mathematical statistics (aimed at calculating the total and average values of indicators and their effectiveness). Research results. In the process of researching the technical and tactical actions of handball players of the leading national teams of the world, the following quantitative indicators and their effectiveness were analyzed: the number of throws made in the final stages of attacks and their effectiveness; 100% effectiveness of throws from different playing positions; overall rating of national teams and their 100% indicator in nominations and components of competitive activity. Conclusions. It was found that handball players of national teams during attacks made 10,296 throws (an average of 95,3 throws per match and 47,7 – per team), of which 6,291 throws reached the goal (an average of 58,3 goals per match and 29,1 – per team); The overall ranking of the highest eficiency of indicators in one match is headed by the national team of Denmark – 17 indicators, the national team of Portugal – 15. Poland – 14 and the Netherlands – 13. The ranking by nominations is headed by the national team of Croatia – 24 indicators, Portugal – 18 and Denmark – 17. Attack from 9 m – 2 national teams with 100% effective indicators (6,3%), attack from 6 m – 17 national teams (53,1%), attack from the flanks – 17 national teams (59,4%), 7m free throws – 30 national teams (93,8%).
