Abstract

A positively selected group of 51 students of the Faculty of Physical Education in Zagreb was tested to established the relationship between situational motoric abilities of football. The correlation were determined by meansof quasicanonical(QCR) and quasiregressional (SRA) analysis.
The predictive set of variables was represented by the following situational motoric factors:
1. precision of hitting a target
2. manipulation with the ball
3. speed of dribbling
4. ball-kicking power
5. speed of non-linear running
The criterial set of variables comprised evaluations of six independent pudges who observed each subject over four matches and awarded points for the following elements of the game:
1. efficacy of technique
2. efficacy of tactics in attack
3. efficacy of tactics in defence
4. creativity
5. responsibility
6. commitment
7. behaviour
8. general performance
It was established that in the set of evaluations the following have high objecitivity: efficiacy of technique, efficiacy of tactics in attack, evaluation of general performance, while a satisfactory objectivity was shown by evaluations of creativity, efficacy of general performance, while a satisfactory objectivity was shown by evaluations of creativity, efficacy of tactics in defence, responsibility and commitment.
The evaluation of behaviour was of low and unisatisfactory objectivity. IN order for it to be useful in further testing it will be necessary to investigated throughly the infrastructures and manner of evaluation.
In the quasicannonical analysis a high correlation was obtained between the only significant pair of quasicanonical factors (.73).
The quasicanonical factor int he space of situational motoric abilities is defined to the greatest degree by the speed of dribbling, manipulation with the ball, ball-kicking power and precision of hitting a target, and, to alesser degree, by the speed of non-linear running. This quasicanonical factor can therefore be interpreted as the general ability of footballers for moving with the ball.
The quasicanonical factor in the space of performance evaluations is defined to the greatest degree by a larger number of criterial variables, i. e. evaluation of general performance, technique, creativity, tactics in attack, responsability and commitment. A somewhat smaller contribution to the fortmationof the factor is given by the evaluation of efficacy of tactics in defence. An even smaller, but negative, contribution is given by the evaluation of behaviour. It is therefore possible to interpret this factor as general efficacy in the playing of football.
For general success in the game of the game of football the efficacy of tactics in attack is of greater importance than that of tactics in defence. This preference for the attacking game is significant for practice and for the development of modern football, for in recent times preferall of the defensive manner of play has caused the game of football to regress.
Quasiregressional analysis gave basically similar results. The greatest multiple correlations between the set of situational motoric factors and the criterial variables were found for evaluations of efficacy of tactics in attack, technique, creativity and general performance, followed by those of responsibility and commitment. A somewhat smaller multiple correlation was observed for the evaluation of efficacy in defence and a low, negative and not significant one for the evaluation of behaviour.
Among the situational motoric dimensions, the greatest contribution individual evaluations of performance was given by speed of dribbling and manipulation with the ball, power and precision of kicking the ball, while non-linear running speed had a relatively smaller contribution to make.
