标题:The connection between the success of a team at one-on-one battles in the defensive phase of the game and the final results of ice hockey matches in the National Hockey League and the 2018 Winter Olympic Games
摘要:The objective of this research wasthe outcome ofone-on-one battles between playersinthe defensive phase of the game.We conducted an indirect observation of 10 National Hockey League matches and 10 2018Winter Olympic Gamesmatches,focusing on the frequency of successfulone-on-one battles in the defensive phase of the gameand how and in which zone they occurred. We recorded each succesfulone-on-one battle in the defensive phase of the game,in all three zones of the ice hockey rink. We assumed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the successfulone-on-one battles in the defensive phase of the game and thefinal result of anice hockey match. We used the Mann- Whitney U-Test to determinea relationship between success in one-onone battles and the final result of a match and we used the significance test of two relative values to compare the acquired data. To find out the effect size,we calculated Cohen r. We determined the 5% statistical significance level in both statistical tests. The relationship between success at one-on-one battles in the defensive phase of the game and the final result a of match has proven to be statistically significant. We calculated the number of successfulone-on-one battles according to methods of stealing the puck and the zones of the ice rink,and confirmed our hypotheses. Inthe matches of the National Hockey League we observed that there was a higher number of successful one-on-one battles than at the Winter Olympics Games in 2018.Using the information that we obtained,we concluded that it is possible to gain an advantage when creating a training programme by instructing players of each position what is required of them in one-on-onesituations during matches,and increasing the amount of training in theone-on-one situation according to player position and zone.
