Examination of the Effective Factors on the Performances of the Recreational Trap Shooters: An Amateur Competition Sample in

Öz

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effective factors on the performances of recreational trap shooters. With this purpose the data set including demographic and shooting features/styles of amateur trap shooters is obtained via a questionnaire. As the rule of the competition, performances of shooters are measured over ten shots and the performance results are obtained from the arbitrator reports at the end of the competition. To determine the effects of the demographic and shooting styles on the performances of competitors Chi-Square Based multivariable statistical analysis CHAID analysis is used. Related with the results of CHAID analysis, to determine the relations among the most effective variables, we applied Multiple Correspondence Analysis. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that, the most important variable on the performances of trap shooters is the alcohol usage of the trap shooters among others (experience, height and etc.), and trap shooters whose performances are categorized as high are those who use alcohol, has less than 7+ years experience, using both of eyes and left hand.

Rekreasyonel Trap Atıcıların Performanslarına Etki Eden Faktörlerin İncelenmesi: Afyonkarahisar İli Amatör Müsabaka Örneği

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, rekreatif trap atıcılarının performansları üzerine etkili olan faktörleri araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla amatör trap atıcılarının demografik ve atış özelliklerini/tarzlarını içeren veri seti anket yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Müsabaka kuralı olarak, atıcıların performansları on atış üzerinden ölçüldü ve müsabaka sonunda hakem raporlarından performans sonuçları alındı. Demografik ve atış tarzlarının rakiplerinin performansları üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek için Ki-Kare tabanlı çok değişkenli istatistiksel analiz olan CHAID analizi kullanıldı. CHAID analizi sonuçlarıyla ilgili olarak en etkili değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için Çoklu Uyum Analizi uygulandı. İstatistiksel analiz sonuçları, trap atıcılarının performansları üzerindeki en önemli değişkenin, diğer değişkenlere kıyasla (deneyim, boy, vb.) alkol kullanımı olduğunu ortaya koydu ve performansları yüksek olarak sınıflandırılan trap atıcılarının alkol kullanan, 7 yıldan az deneyime sahip, her iki gözünü ve sol elini kullananlar olduğu belirlendi.
