Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the technique and tactic as to the direction of service in relation to the quality and type of the block, of the participating teams in the World League volleyball men held in Poland in 2014. The sample was all the matches played by the teams that participated in the quarter-finals (pool E & F), semi-final and final stage. The data evaluated were the direction of service in relation to the quality of the block and the type of block. The recording of the above technical data was done by observing and recording each skill in a protocol structured with a separate scale for each variable. The statistical analysis that was performed was x2 (Chi Square) through the SPSS program. According to the results there was a significant difference where the service directed to the zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 affected the quality of the block (lost, breaking out, breaking and making it harder to defeat, break and easy defense, return the ball to his court Aggressive - counterattack). In addition, there was a significant difference when the service directed to zones 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 affected the type of block (single, double, triple and no blocks. The above results could be used by the coaches as technical elements that their players should train to form blocks in the attacks of the opponents, but also to have the required quality in it. They are elements that, having standards, will create the conditions for dealing with opponents so they have earned points.
