The aim of this study was to determine the influence of new rules tested at the inaugural Men's Under 23 (U23) World Championship (set to 21 points and 15 seconds between the end of a point and the new serve) on all aspects of time in volleyball matches. The study sample comprised 36 matches partially segmented into 123 sets and 4583 points played. Applying one-way ANOVA, it was shown that the active part of the set and the whole match last slightly more than one third of the total time. The most frequent rally duration was 5 to 10 seconds (43.5% of points). As sets became more unpredictable and approached the end, rest time between points was longer. Time analysis of volleyball matches is important as it helps with proper development of physical preparation for players, gives coaches insight into appropriate match flow and provides a clear time frame of each part of a volleyball match for organisers of competitive events, pools, championships and tournaments.

“…One could say that this is due to three main aspects: (1) the sport's potential in fulfilling biological, psychological and social human needs 1 ; (2) the advances in technology and scientific knowledge 2 ; and (3) the changes in the rules of the game 3,4 . For instance, with regard to the latter, over past few years, numerous changes were made regarding to the service, which involved (a) increase in the service zone and the consequent removal of positional fault, (b) increase in the time limit for serving, and (c) the permission for the served ball to touch the upper edge of the net.…”

This might occurs by an ace, that is, a service that hits the ground of the opponent's court without being touched by any defending player, or when a defending player touches the ball, but there is no continuity in the rally.…”

“…Several factors may be considered in the defender's decision-makings (e.g. player's expertise, type of service, server's location, organization of subsequent attack, setter position, and opponent's pattern of play) 4,11 . However, it seems that the space occupation is an essential aspect for all of them.…”

This study aimed to investigate the influence of the defending players' positioning on the service outcomes. Thirty-nine sequences of play involving serves were selected from nine games of a Professional Championship of volleyball held in Brazil. They characterized three main situations: (a) aces (serves that the ball hit the ground of the opponent's court without being touched by any defending player) (n = 13), (b) serves which a defending player touched the ball but there was no continuity in the rally (n = 13), and (c) serves received successfully, that is, a defender received the ball and made possible the continuity of the rally (n = 13). These situations were compared by considering the following variables: (1) defender's distance to the place of serve finalization, (2) velocity of defender's displacement to the place of serve finalization; (3) variability of defending player's displacement; and, (4) serve velocity. Results showed that the defender's distance to the place of serve finalization in the aces were greater than in the both other situations. The findings allowed us to conclude that in competitive performances in the sport of volleyball, the defender's distance to the place of serve finalization determined the service outcomes.
