Abstract

According to research there are four main factors of basketball success. The first factor, shooting the ball, is the most important. Besides to the shooting efficiency the avoidance of turnovers is almost as important from the viewpoint of the final score. Especially important it is for the teams on the inferior level e.g. youth teams. Even on the higher levels of the basketball it is hard to underestimate that component. The inseparable part of the coaching process is the feedback received from the performance. In the course of the competition, the changes in the game structure occur because of the various reasons. To lead the training process effectively team activity must be constantly analyzed. The analysis of the basketball competitive activity is concerned with the statistical characteristics of the result. Connecting such characteristics with the competitive situations is vague, obviously it does not characterize the whole picture of the game. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the models of the offence and to find out the factors related with turnovers in basketball. Einleitung (gekürzt und geändert)
