Sažetak
To establish the performance of a basketball player in a game is rather difficult and unreliable, It depends on many factors from which some can be established objectively and recorded as basketball statistics so that the playing efficiency of a player can be determined. The other factors can be established only subjectively and therefore playing success can thus be adequately evaluated only by competent experts. The sample of subjects included 43 young female basketball players (age 15 to 17) who participated in the final tournament of the Cadet Championship of Slovenia in the season 1994/95. The sample of variables included 6 weighted and 6 non-weighted indexes of playing efficiency and 5 marks of playing success which were established by 5 independent evaluators according to certain criteria. We can establish that the weighted and non-weighted indexes of playing efficiency have, with respect to the extremely high interrelation, practically the same subject of measurement so that non-weighted indexes obviously also express a fairly real mark of playing performance. For this reason, the application and calculation of the weighted indexes was almost meaningless in our case because instead of them the non-weighted indexes could have been used as a criterion of playing efficiency as well.
We can also find out that the indexes of the playing efficiency used in the research are a quite successful measure of efficiency of a player in a game. Absolute indexes obviously carry some more information as they are in a better correlation with the mark of performance than are the relative ones. In establishing the playing efficiency we thus recommend for further use above all the index of absolute efficiency of a player in a match. Provided that the playing performance is evaluated by adequate experts, the mark of playing performance (success) probably still remains that criterion which is the most relevant one and which conveys the most information.
