Then, correlation between these indicators was calculated, using SPSS software version 21. The results showed that correlation coefficient between indicators was from 0.45 to 0.75 in all time periods; which indicates that there is significant correlation between the number of received medals and the other three indicators. In general, it can be concluded that over time, the correlation coefficient has grown in all variables, which means that the role of scientific outputs has become more important in development of sports championship.
