Correlation Of Performance

Assignment 7
1. The correlations between the performance in the Shot Put event and the nine other events of the decathlon ranged from r(107) = .042 to .789. The two strongest correlates of the performance in the Shot Put event were the performance in the Discus Throw event, r(107) = .79, p <.001, and the 100m Dash event, r(107) = .50, p < .001. The effect size of the correlations between the performance score in the Shot Put and these two decathlon events are large, which suggests that there is a strong relation between the performance in Shot Put and these events. The results revealed a large significant positive correlation between the performance in Shot Put and the Discus Throw and 100m Dash events. Therefore, as the performance score of the Shot Put event increases, the performance score in the Discus Throw and 100m Dash will also increase. In reverse, as the performance score of the Shot Put decreases, then the performance score in the Discus Throw and 100m Dash will also decrease …show more content…
The results reveal a significant medium effect size of 400m dash on Shot Put and a nonsignificant small effect size of the 1500m Run on the Shotput performance. The 400m Dash has a significant correlation with the Shot Put event, meaning that individuals who do well in the Shot Put event may do well in the 400m Dash. In addition, athletes who do not do well in the Shot Put event may not do as well in the 400m Dash. The performance 1500m Run event did not have a significant small effect on the performance Shot Put event, therefore the performance in one event is not reflective of the performance in the other
