Sažetak
Success in a wrestling bout largely depends on the efficiency of the execution of the technical elements. The issue of predicting the technical efficiency of wrestlers and, therefore, the issue of the research's objective appear to be logical consequences in this matter. In an attempt to determine the possibility of predicting the success in executing the throwing technique, that is, the possibility of predicting the technical efficiency, fifty quality wrestlers were tested using six situation-related motor tests, in which explosive power, speed, speed endurance, flexibility and coordination presented the hypothetical object of measurement. By means of regression analysis it was found that it is possible to predict the efficiency of the execution of throwing techniques carried out from a standing position.
By means of a model which maximizes the covariance of the linear composite formed from the standardized predictor and criterion variables, a significant (.01) multiple correlation (.58) was obtained, which explains 34% of the variance of the criterion - the general technical efficiency of wrestlers. Out of the six situation related motor tests, two composite tests, in which explosive power, coordination, flexibility and speed endurance comprised the measurement object, had a significant partial contribution to the explanation of the criterion variable and are, therefore, recommended for the prediction of the technical efficiency of wrestlers. The results of the comparative regression analysis under the least squares model were almost identical.
