Analysis of the Influence of Factors Affecting Offensive Rebounds in Elite Basketball
Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the influencing factors of efficiency increase due to observation of the position, activity and number of players fighting for rebounds. Rating situations were noted in all the games of the top eight teams in Euroleague 2015/16. The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used to demonstrate the differences between variables and logistic regression in order to find the most influential factor that definitely determined whether the rebound was captured by an attack or defender. The effectiveness of offensive actions from the actions started with offensive rebounds was higher than from offenses after change of possession. The higher the efficiency, the higher the efficiency of shooting and the greater number of forced free throws. The number of attacking players who participated in the rebound was identified as the most important factor that affected the effectiveness of offensive recovery. However, the most optimal offensive recovery was found for the active participation of three players. The lack of boxing in the defense was often mentioned for the observed teams, which contributed to an effective offensive rebound of guards and forwards. Current research results support a better understanding of effective offensive recovery and allow the development of a theoretically developed strategy for an abusive recovery strategy.
