Sažetak
The relationship between cognitive factors and two sets of measures of performance in basketball were investigated on a group of male students of the Faculty of Physical Education who had been positively selected with regard to their cognitive abilities and who were basketball players of average quality.
The cognitive factors were defined as efficiency of the perceptive processor (INPUT), efficiency of the parallel processor (PARAL) and efficiency of the serial processor (SERIJ).
The first set of measures of performance in basketball were obtained with the aid of evaluations made by judges at regular matches and related to seven aspects of the game: (1) efficiency of play (TEHNIK), (2) efficiency of play in attack (NAPAD), (3) efficiency in play in defence (OBRANA), (4) creativity in the game (STVARA), (5) responsibility with respect to the agreed tactics (PONASA) and (8) general efficiency of play (OPCOCJ).
The second set of measures of performance consisted of results for situational-motoric factors extracted from objective tests which contain certain elements of basketball. The situational factors were defined (1) precision of passing (PRECDO), (2) precision of shooting (PRECUB), (3) manipulation with the ball (MANLOP), (4) efficacy of movement with and without the ball (EFKRET) and (5) ball-throwing power (SNAIZB).
The results were subjected to quasicanonical (QCR model) and regression (SRA) analysis.
The regression analysis did not show any significant multiple correlation between cognitive factors as the predictive set and individual measures of performance defined by judges' evaluations, nor between the set of cognitive factors and individual situational-motoric factors.
The quasicanonical analysis of the relationships between cognitive factors and judges' evaluations gave a small, barely significant (r=.225) correlation which was interpreted as a connection between cognitive factors and the evaluation of bahaviour of the general modality. This analysis was carried out on 50 subjects.
The quasicanonical analysis of the relationships between cognitive factors and situational-motoric factors also gave a small correlation (r=.243), significant at the p=0.05 level. It is assumed that this relationship was realized through the participation of part of the variability of the basal motoric factor coordination with which the situational-motoric factors are saturated. This analysis was carried out on 53 subjects. The results of the investigation confirm the existence of positive link between cognitive factors and performance in basketball and also indicate the possibility of realizing this link through various mechanisms. In order to draw reliable conclusions about the intensity and structure of this relationship it will be necessary to carry out further investigations on a greater number of subjects with a wider range of results for cognitive factors and quality of play.
