RESUMO O estudo buscou identificar em situação de Complexo I possíveis fatores preditores da vitória/derrota no voleibol. Foram analisados dezoito jogos, sendo três de cada equipa participante da Superliga Feminina 2011/2012 (Brasil). Aplicou-se a regressão logística multinomial, com o intuito de medir o grau de associação entre o efeito da receção, tipo de levantamento, tempo de ataque, tipo de ataque, tipo de oposição e efeito do ataque com o resultado final do set (vitória ou derrota). Os resultados demostram que as chances de derrota no set são aumentadas com os erros de receção, com as receções moderadas, com os erros de ataque e com os ataques que promovem a continuidade do jogo. O estudo indica a relevância da receção para a obtenção da vitória, em conjunto com a eficácia ofensiva, por meio da limitação do contra-ataque oponente ou pela própria aquisição do ponto. Palavras-chave: voleibol feminino, análise de jogo, desempenho no set ABSTRACT The study aimed to identify in a situation of side-out possible predictors of winning/losing in volleyball. Eighteen games were analyzed, three of each team participating in the Women Super league 2011/2012 (Brazil). The multinomial logistic regression was calculates to measure the level of association between Reception Effect, Setting's Type, Attack Time, Attacking Conditions, Opposition Type and Attack Effect and the Outcome Set (win or lose).The results showed that the probability off a loss was increased with receiving errors, moderate receiving, attacking errors and with attacks that promote the game's continuity. This study suggests that both offensive effectiveness, characterized by limiting the opponent's counterattack or even winning the point, and reception are important to obtain the victory.

The objective of this study was to identify how the ecological variables influence the setter during the setting and what were the predictive factors of the attack effect among Brazilian teams ranked from the 1st to 4th place in the volleyball Women’s Super-League in 2016-2017. We analyzed 768 attacks from 10 matches played among the teams. A descriptive analysis was performed and, to identify how the setting location differed in relation to the ecological variables, the One-Way ANOVA (factor 1 = setting location) was used. In addition, multinomial logistic regression was performed to understand the predictive factors of the effect of the attack. The significance level was set at 5% (p≤.05) and the SPSS software version 20.0 was used. The results showed the setting location differed according to the distance between the setter and the central attacker, the distance between the setter and the central blocker, and the distance between the setter and the blocker of position 4. Besides, it was observed that the powerful attack and the blocking touch were predictive factors of the effect of the attack. Thus, it is concluded that the decision-making for the action of the setting is based on the availability of the central attacker and the configuration of the blockers, the powerful attack reduces the chances of defense and the blocking touch reduces the chances of scoring by attacking.

This study aimed to analyze how situational constraints (lifter distance to attackers and blockers) influenced a volleyball setter’s distribution after reception that allow an organized attack with all attack options and the relationship between the attack tempo and the effect of the attack according to the setting location. The sample comprised 22 games in the 2018 Men's Volleyball World Championship. The results showed that there was a difference in the distribution while considering the distance between the setter and the striker in position 4 [χ2 (4) = 28.657; p <0.001], the striker in position 6 [χ2 (4) = 23.828; p <0.001], the blocker in position 4 [χ2 (4) = 16.566; p = 0.002] and there was an effect of the attack tempo on the effect of attacks performed by position 6 [χ2 (3) = 15.438; p = 0.001]. From these findings, it is clear that the setter's decision-making is related to the ecological dynamics of the game and to situational constraints, with the availability of attackers influencing the setter's distribution and setting, along with the layout of the adversary’s blocking system.

-Among volleyball skills, spike is responsible for the highest number of scores, and the first tempo of attack is related to the higher incidence of score a point, by hindering the defensive opponent's action. However, most of the studies show general results and do not specify the conditions and constraints of each attack zone. Thus, the aim of this study was analyzing the offensive game (complex I) performed by the middle attacker at the 2014/2015 National men's Brazilian Championship (Superliga). The sample was composed by 142 games of 12 teams, totaling 5350 receptions, setting and spikes actions. The results showed that the middle spikes occurred mostly after receptions A and B, being the most frequent attack scoring point as well as the most powerful one. Moreover, the relationship between the reception effect and setting effect was observed, showing that the best receptions influenced the setting type and the attack effect. Therefore, the middle attack had effective effect in the winning score, since it decreased the chances of opponent's defense, due to the reduced time to defensive organization. Finally, the situational constraints delimited the middle attacker actions. Based on the above, we suggest that future studies should restrict the analysis conditions and situational constraints of each specific game situation.

The sample was composed by 12 teams, with the analysis of 142 games, which totalized 19,545 reception, set and attack actions. Data analyses were run with descriptive statistic and the qui-quadratic test for searching association between the variables. The results showed association between tempo of attack and attack effect, type of attack and attack zone and attack zone and tempo of attack and attack effect. It was concluded that Brazilian teams underuse backcourt attacks, and the offensive structure accomplished through the faster game, which is mainly important on attacks carried out in positions 2, 3 and 4. Furthermore, the reception quality proved to be the precursor factor in the construction of attack. It was also observed that there was no 1st tempo of attacks from the backcourt, indicating that it is necessary to change the type of game, specifically with the increment of the speed of sets conducted by the backcourt.

This study compared the tactical-technical behavior between two distinct situations of reduced volleyball games. The sample consisted of 12 games played by doubles, 6 of which were played in 3.0m x 3.0m (SIT1) and 6 of 2.0m x 4.5m (SIT2) courts. Thus, the behavior of 12 participants, with mean age of 16.7 ± 1.5 years and 3.2 ± 1.2 years of practice, was compared. The results showed that at reception, better results were obtained in adjustment and decision making in SIT2, whereas in SIT1, efficiency was higher; in setting, it was observed that SIT2 presented better results in technical performance, adjustment and efficiency, whereas in SIT1, efficiency was higher; in SIT2, attack, better results were observed in adjustment and decision-making. It was concluded that environmental restrictions influence the behaviors of learners, showing that different ecological contexts provide actions inherent to the specific game environment.Resumo -O estudo comparou o comportamento tático-técnico entre duas situações distintas de jogos reduzidos no voleibol. A amostra constituiu-se de 12 jogos disputados por duplas, sendo 6 praticados em quadras de 3,0m x 3,0m (SIT1) e 6 de 2,0m x 4,5m (SIT2). Assim, comparou-se o comportamento de 12 participantes, com idade média de 16,7 ±1,5 anos e com 3,2 ±1,2 anos de prática. Os resultados mostraram que na recepção houve melhores resultados no ajustamento e na tomada de decisão na SIT2, enquanto que na SIT1 a eficácia foi mais elevada; no levantamento observou-se que a SIT2 apresentou melhores resultados no desempenho técnico, ajustamento e eficiência, enquanto que na SIT1 a eficácia foi mais elevada; no ataque, na SIT2, observou-se melhores resultados no ajustamento e na tomada de decisão. Conclui-se que as restrições ambientais influenciam nos comportamentos dos aprendizes, evidenciando que contextos ecológicos diferentes oportunizam ações inerentes ao ambiente específico de jogo.

The present study aimed to analyze the association between effect of reception and game procedures practiced by the women’s “superliga” champion team in the side-out, as well as the behavior of the opposing central blocker, according to the performance level of the opposing team. The sample was composed of the observation of 21 games of the 2015-2016 Women’s “Superliga” champion team. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, SPSS software version 20.0 for Windows and significance of p≤0.05. The results showed that there was an association between performance level of the opposing team with the effect of reception (χ2=12.96 and ɸ =0,14, p=0,01), as well the effect of reception with the central blocker disposal (χ2=13.70 and ɸ =0.14, p=0.01), with the attack tempo (χ2=353.27 and ɸ =0.72, p<0.001), with the attack site (χ2=91.05 and ɸ =0.36, p<0.001) and the attack effect (χ2=30.11 and ɸ =0.21, p<0.001) according to the performance level of the opposing team. Together, the results showed that there were differences in the game procedures according to the opposing team classification, contributing to a better understanding of the game played in high-level women’s volleyball.
