MAINTAINING THE PREFERENTIAL STRUCTURES OF THE UNDER 17 NATIONAL RUGBY TEAM

Abstract

The paper deals with the similarities present between the different types of preferential structures. Objectively, using the instruments of the sociometric method, the ranking of each member of the analysed team was determined, creating therefore the sociograms of the group for the two considered criteria, namely game and free time preference. Moreover, we have realised the correlation between the two preferential structures using for this regard the Pearson coefficient of correlation (for the sociometric status indexes). It has therefore been demonstrated that there is a strong between these two preferential structures.
