“…On the other hand, I5,C5 and F5 correspond to “initial period during fifth set (0–4),” “central period during fifth set (5–9),” and “final period during fifth set (≥10),” respectively. The importance of the SP variable, expressed in numerical terms, can be written in the form of two matrices: ISP(1,…,4)=[II,IC,IF] and ISP(5)=[II5,IC5,IF5], where II,IC,IF,II5,IC5 and IF5 are numerical values derived from the corresponding median values presented in Table 3 of López-Serrano et al (2022b).…”

In the same way as before, the number N(k)(At,Ac) gives the frequency of the A(At,Ac ) action that can be further expanded into the following two matrices, to incorporate the effect of a score difference: NSD(1,…,4)(At,Ac)[leftNSDL…”

“…Among contextual factors that have been studied to date are home advantage (Gómez-Ruano et al, 2013), how an opponent’s skill level motivates top level teams (García-de-Alcaraz & Marcelino, 2017), the contribution of the set period to the final periods for the victory (Marcelino et al, 2012), and how score differences ≤2 points contribute to a subsequent victory (Dávila-Romero y García-Hermoso, 2015). Other contextual variables are also thought to affect the quality of technical actions, including the game score, the result of the previous set, or the competitive load (López-Serrano et al, 2022b). However, despite ample evidence that contextual variables significantly impact performance indicators in volleyball (García-de-Alcaraz & Usero, 2019), there is currently no model for quantifying this influence or for integrating the impact of multiple contextual variables (López-Serrano et al, 2022b).…”

In this study, we proposed novel metrics for evaluating volleyball technical performance in relation to the action context. To assess each player’s relative participation, we also introduced relative contextual coefficients. We analyzed 20 games played by the world’s top eight teams during the 2019 FIVB Women’s Club World Championship, using Data Volley software and Python programming. We evaluated inter- and intra-observer reliability and used binomial logistic regression models to estimate each variable’s probability of having contributed to the team’s set win. We calculated estimated confidence intervals, standard errors, and Wald values; and we employed Akaike’s and Bayesian criteria to evaluate the model’s goodness of fit. We identified optimal cut-off points using receiver operating characteristic curves, and we found that the proposed contextual evaluation coefficients prevented overestimation of a player’s technical performance in uneven situations. We addressed the issue in which the winning team may be the one that scored the fewest points, and we were able to predict a team’s victory with confidence. The proposed coefficients made multiple technical and contextual aspects of the game easily accessible and comprehensible, offering significant beneficial implications for coaches and players.

Played-form activities in soccer are customized variants of the original game, configured to emphasize important informational and task constraints in the way players perform in practice. Parameters of play such as the shape and dimensions of the playing area, number of participants involved, and conditions of play are key properties that activities are designed from. These properties impact on the specific practice contexts in which players are challenged to perceive information, make decisions and perform actions, during competitive performance preparation and player development. There are countless possible configurations of played-form activities that can provide development or training opportunities for players to improve performance. Although there are no standard guidelines for designing such practice tasks, here we propose how a theoretical rationale like ecological dynamics can frame the configuration of activities, modelled on typical formats, specific task constraints and key developmental needs. In this article, these formats are depicted with reference to common coaching licence curriculum needs and scientific literature. This insight paper presents a continuum of played-form activities, exemplifying characteristics of different practice designs in soccer. This integration of knowledge provides a valid continuum of play practice designs, based on an extent of specific opportunities for actions in different phases of play. Our insights suggest how coaches and trainers in team sports could gain a deep understanding of how specific played-form activity configurations impact on skill adaptation in players, providing opportunities for coaches to function as learning facilitators.

Over the last decade, the growth of match analysis in indoor and beach volleyball indicates the relevance of the subject to provide a structured and up-to-date picture of the state of the art. The purpose of this article was to present a bibliometric analysis of articles on match analysis in indoor and beach volleyball. A total of 179 and 44 articles from indoor and beach volleyball, respectively, indexed in Web of Science or Scopus were reviewed. Outcome measures were extracted and analyzed using R Bibliometrics package or VOSviewer software. Bibliometric indicators of productivity included: number of articles published per year, most productive authors, institutions, countries and journals, top-10 most cited articles, most frequent topics, and authors co-authorship. Match analysis was covered in 82.3% in volleyball and 75% in beach volleyball in the last ten years, with most articles published in few journals. Authors affiliated in institutions from Portugal (volleyball) and Spain (beach volleyball) seemed to have made the largest contribution to this area. The trending topics of the most cited studies included quality of opposition (volleyball) and tactical-technical aspects (beach volleyball). In both sports, tactical-technical actions were the most studied units of analysis, with the international-level adult male game being the most investigated. In conclusion, this study provides research profiling, classifications for the initial research phase and research direction for future research in this subject area. Keywords: scientific production, performance analysis, sports performance, bibliometric.
