CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.0 Previous research The majority of previous research pertaining to performance analysis in basketball has been focused on the quantitative analysis of game-related statistics, commonly found in a basketball box-score (Sampaio et al., 2006). These game-related statistics include: field goal attempts, field goals made, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal attempts, 3-point field goals made, 3-point field goal percentage, free throws attempted, free throws made, free throw percentage, defensive rebounds, offensive rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers and personal fouls. The practical value of performance analysis is that well-chosen performance indicators allow good and bad techniques or team performances to be highlighted (Hughes Franks, 2008). Trinic et al. (2002) analysed the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) official performance indicators with the goal of identifying parameters that differentiated between winning and losing teams which played in the final tournaments of the European club championships from 1992 to 2000. Discriminant function structure coefficients (SC) from discriminant analysis exposed that defensive rebounds (SC = 0.42), field goal percentage (3-point field goals made SC = 0.24, 3-point field goals missed SC = -0.30, 2-point field goals made SC = 0.14 and 2-point field goals missed SC = -0.26), and free throw percentage (SC = 0.26) had the highest discriminative power respectively.Show MoreRelatedPreventing PEDs in Professional Sports Essay1198 Words   |  5 PagesThe use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) amo ng athletes in professional sports has caused an outrage all around the world for many years.
