“…The data confirm previous results that presented side-out and defense success as good performance indicators in volleyball (Fellingham et al, 1994;Palao, 2004Palao, , 2008. The values of success percentage found in side-out for college women are similar than values found at the women's international level (Japanese Volleyball Association, 1999;Palao, 2004).…”

“…From a general perspective, there is an imbalance in success when teams are on side-out (team in reception) as compared to when teams are in serve and defense (serving team) (Palao, 2004;Silva, Lacerda, & Joao 2014). Researchers indicate that if a team has a side-out success of 70% in males and 63.5% in females, they will win the game (Fellingham, Collings, & McGown 1994;Palao, 2004Palao, , 2008. A closer analysis of success in side-out shows that it is composed of the opponent error in service, side-out success (first attack), counter-attack success (attack and block), and opponent errors.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess side-out success and ways that points are obtained in relation to the result of the game in women's college volleyball. A total of 2,435 rallies from 48 sets of the Missouri Valley Conference (NCAA Division I) were analyzed. The variables studied were: game phase, phase efficacy, reason for the success or error, number of times that the ball went over the net, result of the game, attack tempo, reception efficacy, and type of set. The findings provide reference values to guide the analysis of the volleyball team and understand the way winning teams score and build their side-out in the women's college population. The results show the importance of side-out phase efficacy as a variable to monitor team performance in competition and the individual actions that correlate most with side-out phase success. The action that best differentiates winning and losing teams was the attack after reception. The results show the contribution of different ways to build the side-out. The actions with greater contribution were the ones that increased the setter's possibilities to build the offense and accelerate the game, such as through the reception efficacy and the use of the jump set.

“…Focusing on volleyball as a means of entertainment, the introduction of the rally-point Journal of Human Kinetics -volume 70/2019 http://www.johk.pl system has led to little variability in match duration and greater balance in scores, in both volleyball (Fellingham et al, 2009) and beach volleyball (Giatsis, 2003). To sign television agreements, little time variability is crucial (Fellingham et al, 1994;Giatsis, 2003). In addition, the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has introduced new GR changes in the game structure (the number of points played per sets and the number of sets played per match) at under-23 world championships in the last years (Stankovic et al, 2017), presumably to render volleyball more attractive to larger audiences.…”

Thus, effective GR features should be accurate and give the way to little variability in terms of minimum score differences between teams at the end of a game (Fellingham et al, 1994). However, no studies have been found on the impact of rule changes on team performance and coaching implications, or which may raise interest or increase uncertainty and excitement in an audience.…”

The aim of this research was to analyse the impact of various game structures on score and time-related variables in elite volleyball. A total of 114 male matches and 76 female matches (38 matches for each tournament) were analysed in under-23 world championships. An observational design was implemented to measure match duration, points scored per match and set, set point differences, tournament phase, match balance, and set tendencies in various game structures (set to 21, to 25 or to 15 points) in male and female categories. Standardised differences in mean values showed that a 15-point set game structure led to shortest matches and smallest time variability in match duration, the largest number of points per match, and greatest equality in terms of set score differences in both the male and the female category. The use of various game structures in training may be useful to coaches and conditioning specialists when planning training schemes and sessions, by introducing different game structures to manage volume and intensity in training more effectively. These results may also be useful to local and/or national volleyball federations willing to attract new young players, to promote learning and to render volleyball a fun activity, by implementing S15 at initial stages. In addition, they could be useful to international federations or committees, so as to attract larger audiences and sponsors interested in more appealing matches with high levels of competitiveness and entertainment.

“…The rally is the basic unit of one point, the time when a team can score a point. It is differentiated from the other parts of the game, which are considered rest time (Fellingham, Collings, & McGown, 1994).…”

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.
