Abstract
Sport is defined as an activity that involves competition, specific preparation for the competition, specific relationships and connections in that area of activity taken as a whole. Analysis of competitive activity is the basis for a rational approach to the planning, programming, implementation and evaluation of the effects of systematic training process. Subject to this study was to analyze competitive activities of volleyball players in the play-off stage of 'Wiener Statische' Serbian league in season 2012/2013. The aim of the research is to determine characteristics of the volleyball game structure in competitive activity, to determine the technical-tactical elements with a statistically significant contribution to the achievement of positive results in the competition and to perform certain conclusions, with the help of research results, regarding the design of the training process. Description of elements was performed in the research, the contents that describe competitive activity in men's volleyball were explored, and then comparative analysis of these elements was performed for different levels of team performance. We can conclude that, based on these results, there is a statistically significant difference between successful and less successful men volleyball teams in only three variables, namely: the efficiency coefficient of serve, efficiency coefficient of block, efficiency coefficient of attack. This data is absolutely correspond to considerations in practice, which is that these three elements directly bring a point in the field, and therefore by observing them we can determine the winner of the match, with the highest certainty. Other elements, though necessary may influence the final outcome in men's volleyball to a lesser extent. Data from this study should be used primarily for modeling volleyball players training, with the ultimate projection on training improvement and game efficiency increase.
Highlights
Sport should be observed as an activity which has versatile impact on human
The average value of the efficiency coefficient in the whole sample for the variable serve (S) was 37.05 ± 8.64 and the results range from a minimum of 12.9 to a maximum of 56.7 for variable block (B) the average value was 53.88 ± 5.67 with a minimum value of 44.74 and maximum 66.67
This research analyzes the competitive activity of volleyball players and teams participating in the playoff stage of „Wiener Städtische” Serbian league for men in season 2012/2013
Summary
Sport should be observed as an activity which has versatile impact on human. in the wider sense, sport is defined as an activity which involves competition, specific competition preparations, specific relations among areas of that activity as a whole (Dziasko, 1982). Modern game play requires players to have perfect mastery of the technical elements (rational movement performance with the ball and without it, in order to solve specific tasks). Along with the implementation of technical elements, the game requires a good knowledge of tactics - individual as well as group and team. One cannot imagine a top volleyball player who is not prepared to perfectly perform all technical - tactical elements. For this to be achieved, adequate physical condition of volleyball player is required, as the foundation of all the manifestation of motion at the volleyball court (Nešić, 2002). Analysis of competitive activity is the basis for a rational approach to the planning, programming, implementation and evaluation of the effects of systematic training process (Važni, 1978; Boženko, 1997; Nešić, 2001)
