Abstract
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n5p611 The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between variables of the game on the offensive structure from the zone in which attack is performed in high-level Men’s volleyball. The sample was composed by 12 teams, with the analysis of 142 games, which totalized 19,545 reception, set and attack actions. Data analyses were run with descriptive statistic and the qui-quadratic test for searching association between the variables. The results showed association between tempo of attack and attack effect, type of attack and attack zone and attack zone and tempo of attack and attack effect. It was concluded that Brazilian teams underuse backcourt attacks, and the offensive structure accomplished through the faster game, which is mainly important on attacks carried out in positions 2, 3 and 4. Furthermore, the reception quality proved to be the precursor factor in the construction of attack. It was also observed that there was no 1st tempo of attacks from the backcourt, indicating that it is necessary to change the type of game, specifically with the increment of the speed of sets conducted by the backcourt.
Highlights
The game analysis plays a vital role in the development of various collective sports in order to promote more efficient tactical strategies and improve the quality of training and the tactical organization of the team during the game[1]
It is clear that the reception quality, one of the offensive structure foundations, influences the attack effect, and high-quality receptions are associated with winning the attack point, while low-quality receptions are associated with attack error[5]
By analyzing the attack speed, which began with the set, it appears that faster attacks (1st tempo and 2nd tempo) correlate with winning the attack point in relation to slower attacks (3rd tempo), which may be explained by the difficulty in defensive organization of the opponent’s defense system[6,7]
Summary
The game analysis plays a vital role in the development of various collective sports in order to promote more efficient tactical strategies and improve the quality of training and the tactical organization of the team during the game[1]. It is observed that the success in the set and the game is linked mainly to the attack effect and its correlation with other game procedures[1,4], especially reception and game speed In this context, it is clear that the reception quality, one of the offensive structure foundations, influences the attack effect, and high-quality receptions are associated with winning the attack point, while low-quality receptions are associated with attack error[5]. In addition to the influence of game procedures, the attack itself shows different effects according to the technique option used, being more common in the game t powerful and technical attacks[2,3,8] In this context, scoring is associated with powerful attack and its use is related to the situational constraints related to the opponent’s defense organization[9]. It is clear that in the attack zone, positions 2, 3 and 4, more fastballs are observed (1st tempo), while in the backcourt, positions 1, 6 and 5, there is a prevalence of 2nd and 3rd tempo balls[12,13]
