Abstract

This study was conducted in order to evaluate competition performances according to the classification points of the wheelchair basketball national team players who have joined The Rio Olympics. The universe of the study consisted of wheelchair basketball national teams who have joined The 2016 Rio Olympics. The total points of the athletes taking part in the study, the total points they missed, 2-point shots they scored, and 2-point shots they missed were assessed. The obtained data were recorded in the SPSS package program. In the analysis of the data, it was determined that nonparametric distribution was observed according to normal distribution. Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis were used as statistical process. At the end of this study, it was seen that there is a difference between the classification points and competition performances. In conclusion, we think that the significant difference between the classification point and the other parameters is due to the increase in the mobility of the athlete and correspondingly, increase in the contribution of the athlete to the competition as the classification point increases.
