COMPARISON OF SOME PERFORMANCE VALUES OF THE TURKISH FOOTBALL FEDERATION 2020-2021 SUPER LEAGUE MATCHES

Abstract

This research was conducted to compare some performance parameters of the teams that finished in the top 5 and the last 5 places according to the results of the matches played in the 2020-2021 Turkish Super League season. In this league where 21 teams faced and 400 matches were played in total, all matches of the teams that finished in the top 5 and the last 5 places were evaluated. The data used in the research were obtained from the website www.mackolik.com. SPSS 22 package program was used for statistical analysis of the obtained data. Shapiro - Wilk test was applied to determine whether the data showed normal distribution and it was determined that the data did not show normal distribution. Mann-Whitney U test, which is one of the non-parametric tests, was used to determine the difference between two independent groups in the data that did not show normal distribution. The data were given as mean and standard deviation, and the p<0.05 level was considered statistically significant. According to the research findings, when the results are examined, there are statistically significant differences between the groups in the percentage of ball playing, the percentage of duel win, the percentage of successful air ball, the total pass, the percentage of successful passes in the opponent's field, crossing, the total number of shots, the rate of shots taken from outside and inside the penalty area. a difference was detected (p>0.05). As a result, when we look at the performance parameters of successful teams, we see that they are numerically superior in many variables in the collective game. This and similar studies can help coaches prepare for training and matches in order to increase team performance and be successful.
