Indices of competition model of the elite athletes` in the highest rank are the most precise criteria determining tendencies of sport performance (Franks & McGarry, 1996). Peculiarities of interaction between indices of handball players age, competitive experience, height and sports results in the European championships`2004&2006 (EC), Olympic Games`2004 (OG), World championship`2005 (WC) were carried out. Indices of 1064 subjects and 225 matches were analysed using mathematical statistics methods. The highest players were participants in EC`2006 (191.5±6.7), lowermost in WC`2005 (189.2±3.6). The indices of hight had the greatest influence to win in WC`2005 (r2=0.4156) but not in EC`2006 (r2=0.0021). The oldest participants took part in OG`2004 (28.5±4.6) and EC`2004 (28.3±3.9), the youngest in WC`2005 (26.3±3.9). The greatest influence of age was found in OG`2004 (r2=0.563) but not in EC`2006 (r2=0.0873). Participants of OG`2004 (93±9) had the greatest experience, the least experience had participants of WC`2005 (69±62). The greatest influence of experience was found in OG`2004 (r2=0.3032), the lowest in EC`2006 (r2=0.0869). Research findings allow to assert that the possibilities of winning the match are not determined by separate indices but rather by the whole complex of indices characteristic of the team`s performance in general and individual fitness of players (Skarbalius, 2002, 2006).
