“…The present experiments aimed to examine the influence of different directions of attention on the extent of the off-center effect, which influences the penalty taker's perception and decision-making for choosing the goal side of the penalty kick. In a first step, we replicated previous findings using established ways of analyzing goal-side selection data to estimate the extent of the off-center effect (Noël et al, 2016;Noël, Furley, et al, 2015;. The off-center effect occurred, but lower and higher thresholds of the effects were not the same as when using established analyses, as will be discussed below.…”

“…That is, from the participants' perspective, it did not make sense to attend to the goalkeeper position, respectively the sizes of the two goal-sides, after the decision to kick had been made, because they were instructed to only kick when they perceived the goalkeeper in the middle of the goal (i.e. both goal sides were of equal size to the participants) (for a comparable argument in a beach volleyball scenario see Noël, Hüttermann, van der Kamp, & Memmert, 2016). It was found that participants kicked the ball for small goalkeeper displacements, indicating that they were not consciously aware of the fact that the goalkeeper was displaced, standing marginally off-center.…”

“…At the same time, it is not known if these different types of directions of attention also result in different processing of the stimulus features and thus, to differences in the allocation of attentional resources in the kicker. In this regard, Noël et al (2016) argued that participants' attention may be directed to the goalkeeper and his relative position on the goal line (alternatively to the sizes of the areas to the left and right of the goalkeeper), when being asked to always kick to the bigger side of the goal, whereas attention in the other instruction condition seems to be directed to other stimulus features (e.g., goalkeeper related stimuli except his position). When participants first have to decide on the position of the goalkeeper they clearly have to attend to him and his relative position on the goal line.…”

“…Serves to zone 5, on average, were slower and with higher maximum height than those directed at zone 1. This suggests that a defending team might nudge servers toward preferred serves, a phenomenon that has been established in penalty kicks in football (Masters et al, 2007), and also in beach-volleyball (Noël et al, 2016). The server, tactically, “attacks” a player (e.g., least effective receiver in the opposing team) or he attacks court's “free space.” Given that the task under study was at the individual level, the receiver's different initial positioning freed up space differently in the two zones, arguably leading to different serves.…”

Predicting Volleyball Serve-Reception

et al. 2016

Serve and serve-reception performance have predicted success in volleyball. Given the impact of serve-reception on the game, we aimed at understanding what it is in the serve and receiver's actions that determines the selection of the type of pass used in serve-reception and its efficacy. Four high-level volleyball players received jump-float serves from four servers in two reception zones—zone 1 and 5. The ball and the receiver's head were tracked with two video cameras, allowing 3D world-coordinates reconstruction. Logistic-regression models were used to predict the type of pass used (overhand or underhand) and serve-reception efficacy (error, out, or effective) from variables related with the serve kinematics and related with the receiver's on-court positioning and movement. Receivers' initial position was different when in zone 1 and 5. This influenced the serve-related variables as well as the type of pass used. Strong predictors of using an underhand rather than overhand pass were higher ball contact of the server, reception in zone 1, receiver's initial position more to the back of the court and backward receiver movement. Receiver's larger longitudinal displacements and an initial position more to the back of the court had a strong relationship with the decreasing of the serve-reception efficacy. Receivers' positioning and movement were the factors with the largest impact on the type of pass used and the efficacy of the reception. Reception zone affected the variance in the ball's kinematics (with the exception of the ball's lateral displacement), as well as in the receivers' positioning (distances from the net and from the target). Also the reception zone was associated with the type of pass used by the receiver but not with reception efficacy. Given volleyball's rotation rule, the receiver needs to master receiving in the different reception zones; he/she needs to adapt to the diverse constraints of each zone to maintain performance efficacy. Thus, being able to flexibly vary positioning and passing, given local (zone) constraints, can yield an advantage in high-level volleyball serve-reception. Further, research needs to consider other serve modes (e.g., power-jump serve) and a full-court context of performance to support the present study's findings.

“…Research has dealt with the efficiency of game actions and techniques with regard to age, gender, and player’s role (Jimenez-Olmedo et al., 2012; Medeiros et al., 2014; Palao and Ortega, 2015; Šimac et al., 2017). Other studies have focused on perception and anticipation (Cañal-Bruland et al., 2011; Güldenpenning et al., 2013; Klostermann et al., 2015; Noël et al., 2016) and the influence of rule changes (Giatsis, 2003; Ronglan and Grydeland, 2006; Palao et al., 2012). Research has also examined physical workload (Palao et al., 2014; Hank et al., 2016) and the biomechanical aspects of beach volleyball (Tilp et al., 2008; Giatsis et al., 2018).…”

This study explores the influence of sideout failure on performance in the next sideout in beach volleyball. The sample comprises 965 elite matches in the FIVB World Series 2012–2016 and in the Olympic Games 2012/2016 including 28,974 sideout sequences (12,755 for men and 16,219 for women). A sideout sequence consists of two sideouts by the same player during the same set in a timeframe of four rallies. The first sideout in this sequence is referred to as the previous sideout and the second sideout as the next sideout. After misses, -tests indicate a significantly higher technique alternation rate (from spike to shot or vice versa) in the next sideouts for both men (+32.7%) and women (+40.4%) than the next sideouts after hits. After shot misses, the share of shots in the next sideouts was −12.9% lower for men and −8.3% lower for women than the next sideouts after shot hits. After spike misses, the share of shots in the next sideouts by female players was +5.5% significantly higher, and shot hit rate was −6.5% lower than the next sideouts after spike hits. These findings support the belief that tactical decisions and performance in top-level beach volleyball are influenced by failure in the previous sideouts. They might support coaches and players when analyzing matches and developing game strategies.
