The focus of this section is on volleyball skills; a presentation of factors that contribute to the dynamics of the game, gender differences in the game and determinants of winning or lowing matches. This framework provides a simpler way of understanding how the serve and serve reception play a role in the game of volleyball.
2.3.1 Skill importance in Volleyball
A chain of factors determine success or failure in any sport match, but the measureable part of it is related to indicators of efficient performance technical-tactical elements or game phases during matches. The monitoring of play in team sports such as volleyball, and its analysis are based on the evaluation of the effects of situation-related parameters. The evaluation can be performed on the basis of volleyball game official records, video recordings such as data volley or various analysis of players’ efficiency during the game (Marelic et al. 2004).
A broad scope of research has been conducted in order to understand the dynamics of the game of volleyball. After the rule changes in volleyball in 1999, the game experienced a complete renovation in the technical-tactical sense (Zadraznik, Marelic, Resetar 2009). In order to facilitate the evaluation of team performance and analysing the logic of the game, the elements that play a key role in the way each team’s game is organised should be weighed in regard to Complex I (also known as side out), which comprises of serve reception, setting and attack, or Complex II, which comprises of serve, block/defense and counter-attack (Frohner and Zimmermann, 1996). In the volleyball game complex analysis, it is observed that the side-out possesses more stable initial organization conditions, as the ball is recovered from the m...

...that teams were significantly better at serving and receiving than non-elites. The study also shows that the quality of attack was dependent on the quality of the set, and that the quality of the set was dependent on the quality of the defense or the reception of the serve.
Yiannis and Panagiotis (2005) compared the effectiveness of key skills in 10 men’s volleyball matches that occured between Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 and showed that there was a general trend of decreasing the proportion of mistakes performend on all skills. In the 2004 Olympic Games, Brazil, the gold medalist, performed their reception and attack skills far better than the teams they competed against (Laios & Kountouris, 2005). Eom and Schultz (1992) observed that the quality of the first touch provided better conditions for setting and, consequently, favourble conditions for finalization.

Using the opportunity to the team’s advantage is of real importance due to the fact that in most instances they determine the outcome of games. This paper analyzes the variables involved in a penalty kick and maps out the best methods to use to ensure a very high success rate. The two fundamental components of a penalty shot are the angle at which the shot is kicked and the velocity of
The tactical games model is an instructional method for a physical education class, the outline for a tactical game unit is set up as follows. The first step in any Tactical games model is to choose a sport for the class to play, team sports such as basketball or soccer typically work best for this model because they present the players with more tactical situations. Rather than full sized games your class will benefit more from smaller groups and faster paced games, any tactical issues a student is having during the sport will become more apparent this way and therefore easier to address (Pill). Additional adaptations can be made to manipulate the sport to your classes needs such as dimensions of the field, player’s movements, and the games rules (Pill).The Focus of game one is to put your students into challenging situations, by being challenged in the first game the students see areas they are lacking tactical experience. As the teacher your objective during game one is to iden...
Volleyball is a game which consists of teams of six which rally a ball over a net. Although anyone can play volleyball, sociologists have used a tool which displays how an individual decides to participate by exploring socio-cultural factors that can influence equity and access within sport. This tool is known as Figueroa’s Framework which was constructed by Peter Figueroa. “Figueroa developed a tool to investigate the issues surrounding access, equity and equality in sport and physical activity.” (12peboard.weebly.com). This framework consists of five levels they are Cultural, Structural, Institutional, Interpersonal and Individual; each level contributes to one another. Equity derived from the word equality looks at the equal opportunity/chance for everyone within any sport, whereas access focuses on the accessibility to equipment, a court, coaches etc. Both these elements have major impacts on whether the individual can easily participate and feel welcome in the sport. Figueroa’s Framework will be used to observe the Individual and Interpersonal level to self-evaluate my own participation and success in the sport Volleyball. These two levels will be discussed to demonstrate how the sport volleyball can be selected and what impact and effects are taken into consideration of this process and how they respond and develop. Problems in the equity of the sport will be looked and ideas will be discussed which could increase equity in the sport.
Basketball is a "transition game. Players continuously switch between defensive and offensive plays throughout the game. The plays include strenuous physical, such as running/sprinting, cutting, feints, jumps, and landings. Rapid turns and proximity during one-on-one situations increase the possibility of physical contact. Thus, frequent intermittent running and sprinting characterize the action of the game. Motion analysis has shown that depending on individual playing-time; basketball players cover a distance between 4.6 and 5.8 km per game, with mean heart rates between 80 and 90% of individual maximum heart rates (European Network for Sports injuries prevention, 2008). Consequently, players need to rid of highly advanced basic...

The researchers wanted to see “the relation of verbal aggressiveness and state anxiety (somatic, cognitive, and self-confidence)” between coaches and athletes in a sex-specific sport such as volleyball (Bekiari et al., 2006, p. 630). Results examining both sexes showed males have higher levels of somatic anxiety due to the verbal aggressiveness of their coaches compared to female volleyball players (Bekiari et al., 2006). These results could be due to the kind of training and competitiveness, but it still shows how the use of language can have different effects on athletes nonetheless. Additional research done by Julie Masterson, Lisa Davies, and Gerald Masterson showed that coaches should “use positive instruction rather than negative feedback” to encourage their athletes (2006, p. 41). This backs the ideas that verbal aggression is harmful and the research “consistently shows verbal aggression may be associated with negative outcomes and learned helplessness,” two aspects that can be seen in sports that are contributed to the language that is used (Bekiari et al., 2006, p.
“Marrero and Verdasco mixed up net and baseline play to negotiate a break of the Stepanek serve to 30 for a 5-4 lead in the first set.” This is the language of tennis and this is what I belong to. I’m a big tennis fan and also a tennis player. I will watch every single match in the ATP world tour final and the World Cup of Tennis. Tennis match gets me excited and bursts my fire inside my heart. I love tennis so I join tennis team in high school and in college. Tennis has made a significant impact to the world and unlike other sports, each member has their own unique ranking in the team, ranking is essential for each tennis team member. From No.1 to the last number, every player will fight for their highest ranking and try to challenge the one above their number. Tennis is cruel and challenging, but that is why I love it.
During practice optimal motivation and excitement need to be given to players to not only insure they progress in their skill aptitude, but also to make the environment fun, creative, and innovative for all athletes involved. Martens specifically describes the “flow experience” as an “optimal” time where players aren’t too anxious or under motivated to perform (Martens, 108). Coaches can heed this advice by planning light, medium, and intense exercise drills, changing the modes of exercise, changing the environment, or through utilizing the teaching principle called the “games approach” (Martens, 154). If the “games approach” is used then the monotony of training will decrease because fun tactical activities based around in game situations will be used instead of repetitive technique drills that often bore players and inspire them to quit a sport early in season. Shaping of play with different teammates or rules, focusing of play through freeze play drills, and enhancing play through different techniques are all effective ways to utilize the games approach to improve tactical sport awareness (Martens, 156). For instance, instead of practicing soccer free kicks repeatedly, the players could do 3 on 3 games utilizing half of the field, they could limit the game to midfield and freeze at times to see whoever gets the most

Soccer is a sport that is all about motion and how to use movements most effectively. Speed and velocity are very important when it comes to motion because with out them there would be no motion. When playing soccer speed is essential to being a productive player. The game is fast paced and so the players must also be quick on their feet. Soccer players may not know that velocity is essential to being able to control their movements. But physics proves that both are essential to soccer. Speed and direction are b...

Early descriptions of beach volleyball indicate that it started on the “beaches of everywhere”, but with southern California and Hawaii being the first places to have permanent beach volleyball nets established. At first and for a long time, beach volleyball was played just as standard volleyball was at the time. Nudist/Naturalist clubs were early adopters of outdoor volleyball and adapted to the smaller team rules when they
