Learning the service drills in novice volleyball athletes

Abstract

Volleyball service is the fundamental element with which the game begins; it can be carried out from below, from a floating top, or from above in a jump. This article discusses the changes in speed and accuracy of service as a result of different training methods. A sample of 33 participants with no experience in volleyball was divided into three groups. Two groups carried out three weeks of training, the first following the ecological approach, in complete freedom, the second group following the mixed method (global-analytical-global) while the third group formed the control group. The participants were evaluated in advance and on two successive occasions. In each test, accuracy and speed of service were recorded. The results highlight the improvement in the accuracy and speed of the practice groups. In addition, the mixed training group presented greater consistency in accuracy, decreasing the variable error of their attempts. The main conclusion of the study is that the mixed training methodology can be a very effective method for learning the service in volleyball with inexperienced populations.

Technology of Teaching Game Techniques in Volleyball at the Stage of Initial Training

“…Another feature of the motor skill is a high speed of motor action performance, which is ensured by a high level of muscular and intermuscular coordination and its general rationality, based on the absence of constraint and ease of elementary motor locomotions (Maklouf, 2014;Forte, D'isanto, Di Domenico, & Altavilla, 2019).…”

“…The studies by Chernenko et al (2017), Hakman, Nakonechniy, Moseichuk, and Liasota (2017), Samsudin, Setiawan, Taufik, and Solahuddin (2021) show the possibilities of using modeling methods in the process of teaching game techniques in volleyball, based on the material of training sessions with schoolchildren and students. At the same time, of importance are the sequence of applying exercises and their availability in the context of corresponding physical development of young athletes (Forte, D'isanto, Di Domenico, & Altavilla, 2019) and the current level of athletes' functional fitness as a prerequisite for successful development and further improvement of motor abilities and skills -volleyball game techniques (Maklouf, 2014;Tishchenko, Sokolova, & Popov, 2019;Shchepotina et al, 2021).…”

Individual Approach in Motor Abilities Development for 9-11 Year Old Female Volleyball Players

“…Considering the fact that the growing organism under the influence of the external environment and in accordance with the laws of genetics has its own, unique, individual development. The questions about early sports orientation and selection should be based on age peculiarities, the formation of sports capability, taking into account the laws of sports improvement [2, 6,8].…”

“…A large number of scientific works are devoted to the problems of volleyball players' training, in particular to increase the level of physical fitness [6,7,10,12]; increasing the level of technical and tactical training [3,4,9,13]. In some scientific works [2, 5, 11] early orientation is positively considered in dealing with problems of harmonious physical training, however, they do not have defensible training programs aimed at achieving the appropriate level of physical abilities development.…”

Factors Determining the Ability of Jump Volleyball Providing

“…Jump service is a service technique that is carried out by starting a jump like a smash but done outside the back line of the field [5]. In doing a jump service, the position of the prefix can vary depending on the player, you can use the prefix or without the prefix, if you are going to do a jump service without the prefix the factors that play a role are vertical jumps and proper coordination [6]. Meanwhile if you use the jump service prefix it takes about three to two steps behind the back line of service [7], this prefix is very useful for getting a good starting position for making jumps so as to get high jumps [8], with the right timing or timing, which is useful for hitting the ball hard and with the right time [9].…”
