Sažetak

Achieving a high level of performance in ball-game activities such as basketball depends upon (a) the technical skill level of the player within the team and of the whole team, and (b) the psychological, mental, and emotional edge over the opposing team. However, bothcoaches and players seem to emphasise the technical aspects of the game when preparing for a long-duration championship, a tournament, or a single game. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlational relationship among indexes of efficiency, technical and height variables and the final placing of a team in a 9-day championship. More specifically, two questions were raised in this study: (a) Is it possible to predict the final placing of a team based on its technical playing ability? and, (b) Is it possible to develop appropriate indexes to measure team ability and predict its final success? Based on the data obtained in the European Basketball Championship for teams under 19 years of age, two indexes of efficiency were developed. In addition, nine technical variables of the game of basketball were analyzed. Spearman rank-order and Pearson product moment correlations were used to examine the relationship between each index and variable and the final placing of a team, and the relationships between all variables. It was concluded that it was possible to use indexes of efficiency such as index of playing ability, and technical variables such as final scores and 2-point percentages, to predict the final ranking of a team. However, in order to promote the prediction process in ball-game activities it is recommended that researchers and practitioners develop multi-face indexes in which psychological, as well as technical, variables are considered.
