Applying the method of main components by Hotelling and rotation components, i.e.Varimax rotations Keiser, latent structure basketball efficiency was established.It based on fourteen manifest indicators efficiency.Our findings refer to sample comprised game-winning teams at World Championships: in Greece, 62 teams; USA, Japan, 80 Turkey, teams.Factorization performed entire all teams, that is 284, as well single game winners championships Turkey.There total four factor analyses within each them five seven dimensions, i.e. factors parameters were extracted.Katell landslide indicates a clear elbow between third fourth component.These first three dimensions analysis exhibit stability high saturation side variables.The have been defined as: general offensive factor, three-points shot free throw factor.Having variables account for number attempted made shots dominant these factors, it can be concluded indeed explained means efficiency.These confirm both empirical theoretical speculations experts, overall primarily dependent efficiency, what seems entirely logical.
