Sažetak
The main goal of this research is to establish the latent structure of situational efficiency of elite junior basketball players. For this purpose, an exploratory factor analysis strategy by use of principal components method was implemented in 13 standard situation efficacy indicators on the sample of 108 elite junior basketball players who participated in the 19th Junior European Basketball Championship in Zadar, 2000. The sample of respondents consisted of competitors who averagely played 8 minutes per a game for more than 3 games, and they were chosen from 11 teams that played 46 games in the championship. Two relatively independent latent dimensions have been isolated and named as: situational technical and tactical activity factors of inside and outside players. It has been concluded that neither the standard use of the variable of the situational efficiency, nor the use of the latent dimensions that have been derived from them suffice to fully explain the structure of basketball game.
