“…On the 8x8m court, it is obvious that blockers need to stay closer to the net because the conditions for the opponents to perform an attack are often identical (Giatsis & Tzetzis, 2003). In the VOLUME 10 | ISSUE 2 | 2015 | 547 context of BV, the block-defense system forms a coherent and effective unit (Laios, 2008).…”

Giatsis, G., Lopez Martinez, A.B., & Gea García, G.M. (2015). The efficacy of the attack and block in game phases on male fivb and cev beach volleyball. A review. J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 10(2), pp.537-549. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and differences of the attack, block, and reception in side out and counter-attack phases during beach volleyball games. A total of 80 games of FIVB World Tour and European Championships were analyzed. The technical skills analyzed were the type and efficacy of the attack, the type of block, and the efficacy of reception. The sample included 13.939 rallies, including attack (n=7.090), block (n=7.090), and serve reception (n=5.161). Descriptive statistics were applied in order to obtain frequencies and percentages. Inferential statistics were calculated (p<.05) through chi square tests. The results showed that the spikes were more frequent values than shots at both side out and counterattack phases. Attack errors and kills were the more frequent values in both phases. Perfect receptions showed a kill percentage similar to situations when the reception was limited. It was concluded that players should make fewer errors when spiking, and coaches should pay more attention to fake blocks during both side out and counter-attack phases.

“…In 2001, rules on court size and the scoring system changed, which led authors to research how this affected the game. Some studies investigated court size (Giatsis and Tzetzis, 2003;Kröger, 2006;Ronglan and Grydeland, 2006) and others focused on the scoring system (Giatsis et al, 2005;Kröger, 2006;Ronglan and Grydeland, 2006). The rule changes did not produce positive results in the view of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB).…”

The aim of this study was to analyze tactical and technical behavior across different ages and genders in young, elite beach volleyball players. Methods: Forty teams from the Under-18, Under-20, Under-21, and Under-22 from semifinals and finals of the 2016 World Championships and the 2016 European Championship were analyzed. The sample was composed of 69 sets. The variables studied included: Rally time, set time, match time, serve efficacy (standing serve, floating serve, and jump serve), setting efficacy (forearm, overhand, other, and 2nd attack), attack efficacy, and block efficacy. Student's t and Mann-Whitney U-tests were used to analyze specific differences between categories. Results: Significant differences (p < 0.05) in the pass performance, forearm pass in men (from 78.2 to 49.1%), and overhand pass in men (from 12.2 to 40.45%). In addition, in women forearm pass (from 88.5 to 76.3%) and overhand pass in women (from 1.2 to 9.35%). No significant differences in the effectiveness of attack, rally time, serve, and block efficacy. Conclusion: Tactical considerations and gender-specific differences in technical variables may be important for training in young players.

“…The possible effect of the change in court size, which was done at the same time as the scoring system change, should also be considered. This aspect has changed the way beach volleyball is played (Giatsis and Tetzis, 2006; Ronglan and Grydeland, 2006), as well as the use, efficacy, and importance of the different technical actions, game phases, etc. (e.g.…”

“…According to the studies found, the effect of these changes has resulted in a decrease in match duration from 41.6 ± 10.2 minutes to 35.5 ± 9.9 minutes (Giatsis, 2003). At the same time, the rule changes have also changed the way various technical actions are executed such as the serve, attack, and block, as well as their efficacies (Giatsis and Tetzis, 2006; Ronglan and Grydeland, 2006). …”

After the 2000 Olympic Games, the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) modified the scoring system used in beach volleyball from side-out to a rally point system. The goal was to facilitate the comprehension of the game and to stabilize match duration. The purpose of this study was to assess the duration and number of rallies in men’s and women’s beach volleyball matches (2000–2010 FIVB World Tour). Data from 14,432 men’s matches and 14,175 women’s matches of the 2000–2010 World Tour were collected. The variables studied were: match duration, total rallies per set and match, number of sets, team that won the set and match, type of match (equality in score), and gender. The average match duration in beach volleyball is stable, ranging from 30 to 64 minutes, regardless of the number of sets, the stage of the tournament (qualifying round or main draw), or gender. The average number of rallies per match were 78–80 for two-set matches and 94–96 for three-set matches. Matches from the main draw are more balanced than matches from the qualifying round. More balanced matches (smaller point difference between teams) have longer durations. It is not clear why there is no relationship between the number of rallies and match duration. Future studies are needed to clarify this aspect. The results can serve as a reference to guide beach volleyball training (with regard to duration and number of rallies) and to help understand the effect of the rule change.
