Determinantes táticas do jogo praticado pelo atacante central no voleibol masculino

Abstract

-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 middle blocker in volleyball: A systematic review

“…Nevertheless, these differences apply to the findings of both studies as well. Whereas Fellingham et al (2013) found no data indicating differences of success depending on the type of first tempo attack, Costa et al (2016) found that positive and negative sets were associated (p<.001) with attack score (obtaining a point), and inside shoot sets were associated with attack error (losing a point) and a poor reception (p<.001). Additionally, the tip was associated (p<.001) with inside shoot and back one set.…”

“…Fellingham et al (2013) describe the quick as an attack performed close to the setter, either in front of or behind him, and the gap as an attack executed approximately 3 metres from the left sideline. On the other hand, Costa et al (2016) divide the quick by Fellingham et al (2013) into three different possibilities: positive (in front of the setter, contacting the ball on the right side of the body), negative (in front of the setter, contacting the ball on the left side of the body), back one (behind and close to the setter); and refer to the gap as inside shoot. Nevertheless, these differences apply to the findings of both studies as well.…”

“…As a consequence, their functions are limited mostly to the front row, namely the block (Araújo et al, 2010) and the attack (Sapena Peiro et al, 2016) plus the serve (Afonso et al, 2012). Middle blockers play in the centre of the net during their front row positions (Costa et al, 2016), usually performing first-tempo attacks, quick hits where they jump near the setter and before or during the set action (Afonso et al, 2010). Quick tempo attacks provoke a higher uncertainty in the opposing team than slower tempo attacks, resulting in higher likelihood of success (Afonso et al, 2010;Asterios et al, 2009).…”

The Decision-Making of High-Level Volleyball Setters in the 2021-2022 Volleyball Men’s Superliga: Does the Opponent Matter?

“…In volleyball, match analysis may be based on Game Complexes, with Complex I (KI) consisting of reception, setting, and attack, as the main focus of investigation (Hurst et al, 2016; Laporta et al, 2018a; Loureiro et al, 2017). From this perspective, analysts frequently observe a recurrent game pattern in the side-out phase of high-level volleyball (a successful point scored by the receiving team during the opponent’s serve) (Costa et al, 2016, 2016, 2016; Rocha et al, 2022). The side-out phase is characterized by receptions that enable an organized attack, setting conditions that adapt to the positions of attackers and blockers, and attacks against less structured blocks (Costa et al, 2017a, 2018; Dutra et al, 2021; Rocha et al, 2021, 2022).…”

Efeito da Ansiedade Competitiva sobre a Tomada de Decisão em Jovens Atletas de Voleibol

“…: Teor. e Pesq., Brasília, 2019, v. 35, e3538 LS Fortes, L Fiorese, JRA Nascimento-Júnior, SS Almeida, & MEC Ferreira O voleibol é um esporte coletivo do tipo intermitente, caracterizado pela imprevisibilidade (Costa et al, 2016;Fortes et al, 2018). A chave para se obter sucesso nessa modalidade concerne na escolha da melhor decisão ("o que fazer"), adotando a técnica correta ("como fazer") em um pequeno espaço de tempo e de forma acurada (Lopes, Magalhães, Diniz, Moreira, & Albuquerque, 2016).…”
