Spatiotemporal analysis of setting per game complex and team rotation in junior female volleyball
Abstract
Τhe purpose of this study was to investigate the tactic of junior female setters in terms of the spatiotemporal characteristics of the setting as well as their performance, in relation to complex I and II and some critical parameters that affect the game. In addition, the aim was to identify the factors that most affect the performance of the setter at this age group. The sample of the study is consisted of 24 volleyball matches of the final phase of the Greek Junior Female Championship of the 2015-2016 season. An ordinal 5 level scale from Eom & Schutz (1992) was used to evaluate skills. Reliability test for the intra- and inter-observer reliability was done with the Cohen adjusted kappa index, indicating a very high consistency in the evaluation process. For the statistical analysis, a) the independence and homogeneity test between the variables was performed through the chi-square test and the Fisher test, when the expected number of values per cell will be less than 5, b) in addition, the equality of percentages was examined. For the statistical analysis SPSS package for Windows, version 23.0 and Statgraphics v.5.1. The results showed that the junior female setters, regardless of the game complex, mainly choose setting to the left part of the court in 3rd tempo of setting as a safety option, while the quality of their setting evaluated as poor and good. Concerning setting tempo, they choose 1st tempo in complex 1 and 3rd tempo in complex 2. The results of the study give useful directions to the coaches regarding the plan of appropriate training programs for the individual improvement of the players and consequently of the team.References
