“…Therefore, changes in the blocking system imply different distributions, and the distribution of the blockers in a closed manner, that is, from the end closest to the central blocker, reduces the chance of raising the ball to the centre of the court, as well as mixed block markings, with one of the end blockers closest to the central block, implying a setting for the place where the blockers will need to move more (Echeverría et al, 2020). Knowing that the volleyball setter, in optimal setting conditions, has an offensive superiority, that is, 4 attackers against 3 blockers, the use of the attacker in position 6, in the play called 'pipe', proves advantageous (Silva et al, 2016b;Pieró et al, 2016), especially if the attack is faster (Costa et al, 2018), overloading the defensive demand of the central blocker as one will have to worry about two attackers for the same zone of the court (Silva et al, 2016b). This is because the central attacker in most cases is available for the attack close to the setter in the central zone of the court (Peiró et al, 2016).…”
