Journal Title: Sportske nauke i zdravlje - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this research was the influence of basic motor skills of table tennis players on their performance efficacy. The sample of participants was made by 48 elite seniors aged 17-36 yr (representative sample) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The sample of participants was chosen based on the qualification tournament of all registred table tennis players in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The measuring instruments in the research are 12 variables for evaluation of basic motor skills and 1 variable for evaluation of competitive efficacy of table tennis. Analyzing results methods included descriptive statistic procedures and multiple regression analysis. The motor predictors of applying multiple regression analysis significantly explain the criterion variable competitive success of table tennis players. Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, which was conducted on six independent, predictor variables from a set of basic motor skills and position subjects the ranking table tennis (BODRNG) as the dependent variable and competitive performance, using the enter method showed a single statistically significant regression function. This indicates that between these variables a linear relationship. The resulting multiple correlation coefficient is statistically significant and amounts to R=.65, which indicates that about 41% of variance in variable position of respondents to the ranking table tennis (BODRNG), can be explained with the help of predictor variables involved. In most regression analysis, the motor factors significantly explained criterion variables of technical-tactical efficacy of table tennis players. In general, it can be said that the most important factor is hand tapping variable or in other words the variable evaluating the movement frequency. But we cannot forget variables evaluating explosive strength both evaluating total and relative explosive strength.
