摘要：Problem Statement:In the perception of safety and risk, studies show that there is a difference between genders. Sports equipment and specially the goalpost have caused accidents and deaths around the world. Changes in the federal regulations not only seek to increase the practice of the game itself but also to improve safety.Similarly, technological innovations in sports facilities and equipment improve the training and competition conditions of athletes and facilitate the work of sports facility technicians. Tutigool is a new goalpost’s anti-tip system that guarantees the safety of this equipment in any part of the field without the need to attach the goalpost to the ground or to the wall behind.Purpose:The study analyses the opinions of the agents involved in the game of handball from the point of view of gender at the 2019 International Nations Cup Tournament in Lübeck (Germany) about an innovative goals anti-tip system called Tutigool. Methods:The sample was composed of 120 subjects, 56.7% men and 43.3% women, including players (95±79.2), coaches (9±7.5), and referees (16±13.3). A modified questionnaire with 18 items was administered. Results:The men and women participating in the studyshowed positive general satisfaction with the Tutigoolanti-tip system (4.76±1.42 out of 7) withno significant differences. In several aspects evaluated in the study there were differences in the agents analysed: players, referees and coaches show significantly higher evaluations than their opposite-gender counterparts. Conclusions:It is evident that there is a gender difference in the perception of safety with the use of the Tutigool anti-tip system.
