FACTORIAL VALIDITY OF TESTS FOR ASSESSING SHOOTING ACCURACY IN MINI BASKETBALL 2023 796 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/2/9791 https://www.sportscience.ba/pdf/br32.pdf M. Milovanović Shooting accuracy is one of the most important technical elements in basketball, and that is why there was a need to verify the existence of specific arguments by testing shooting accuracy with a certain type of test. In order to find the answer in this research, an experiment was made, where the evaluation of certain tests was done to assess the accuracy of shooting in mini basketball. The aim of the results is to help coaches gain an insight into the motor skills of children of a certain age. The participants (n = 42), boys aged 10 to 11, took part in this research. The data obtained were analysed using a descriptive statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics for all monitored variables were expressed through SV and SD values. The principal component analysis (PCA), serving as an intermediate step for implementing other methods in this case of factorial validity, was used to interpret the correlation matrix. It can be concluded that the data obtained in this experiment showed satisfactory factorial validity in the tests for the assessment of shooting accuracy. All of these are direct variables for assessing shooting accuracy in young basketball players, acceptable for creating valid and efficient testing protocols article 1840-3670 16 2 76 84 1840-3670 Sports Science - International Scientific Journal of Kinesiology, University of Trvnik
