Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of a team's level on the performance of skills (serve, reception, spike, block and dig) in high level volleyball. Thirty-eight mens matches of London Olympics Games 2012 and 38 mens matches of the Olympics Games of Beijing 2008 were purchased from the international volleyball Federation and analyzed. The performance of skills was evaluated in relation to the success and options that these skills give to one's team. The team's level was established in relation to the final classification of the team in both competitions (level 1: 1st - 4th; level 2: 5th - 8th; & level 3: 9th - 12th). Six observers participated in the study. In London Olympics Games 2012 the results show a high significant difference between teams' levels for the skills of spiking and setting. The dig and reception are the skills that differentiates the teams of level 1 with the teams of level 2. In Beijing Olympics Games2008, we found a significant difference in the performance of the set in the teams of level 1. An increase in success of reception, spike, reception and dig in relation to the level of the team is observed.
