Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to identify offensive performance indicators that may discriminate by match score (favourable, balanced or unfavourable). The sample comprised 88 regular season games (2011-2014) from the Spanish Professional Water-Polo League. Univariate (ANOVA test; Kruskal-Wallis test and Generalized Linear Model test (GLM)) and multivariate (Discriminant) analysis to compare favourable, balanced or unfavourable and confidence intervals and effect sizes of the differences were calculated. The results showed that favourable games had averages that were significantly higher for counterattack attacks (p<0.001) and shots (p<0.001), goals (p<0.001), and shots from zones close to goal (zone 5 (p<0.01) and 6 (p<0.01)). Whereas unfavourable games had significantly higher averages in even attacks (p<0.001) and shots (p<0.001), no goals shots (p<0.001), and shots originated from zones far from goal (zone 2 (p<0.05) and 4 (p<0.01)). The variables that most discriminated were the goals, counterattack attacks and shots; shots originated from areas close to goal. These results could help coaches when planning training and competition.
