Dependence of results in table tennis on certain game efficiency indexes

From sports aspect, the basic and most utilitarian indicator of game quality is exactly the achieved result on a particular sports competition. Amongst different manners of quality analysis of table tennis players' game, the basic idea of research was to seek to detect those indicators (data) for collection of which only the final result in particular competitions in larger number of events, in one table tennis match, certain sets in one table tennis match could be sufficient. Sindik (in year 1999) performed that by implementation of variables which could directly be derived from the results of competitions, however, those variables one could reduce to a smaller number of indexes. The basic aim of the research is to question to which extent the indexes directly derived from the results of individual table tennis matches could foresee indexes which are described by the final result of an individual in a larger number of individual table tennis matches. Research is comprised of analysis of appropriate sample of 39 entities – total individual competition effect of sportsmen in 9 team championships, for all the players of one table tennis team, in the period from 1990 till 1996, in the organization of TTOCAZ, in different competition ranks in which the named team has competed. 16 indexes – indicators of efficiency of an individual in table tennis competition have been defined, which can be derived directly from the competition results. The predictive value of used indicators has been determined, significant in statistical manner, for the prognosis of direct indicators of success on basis of other indexes. However, due to characteristics of the sample, the generalization of results is not possible.
