Middle blockers also gain more points in the block per set than receivers(Δx=0.39,p<0.001),setters(Δx=0.49,p<0.001)andspikers(Δx=0.35, p<0.01).Liberoespresenttheefficiencyinreceivingtheservehigherby6.07%(p<0.05) thanreceivers.

Dynamic Stretching Increases the Eccentric Rate of Force Development, but not Jump Height in Female Volleyball Players

“…Static stretching has been largely considered an essential part of warm-ups. Nevertheless, its effectiveness before a competition in explosive sports has been questioned since it is related to a negative impact on performance, especially on muscular power and strength ( Ciemiński, 2017 ; Cramer et al, 2005 ; Power et al, 2004 ), jump performance ( Power et al, 2004 ), and sprint ability ( Winchester et al, 2008 ). On the other hand, dynamic stretching has been recommended for sports requiring dynamic and explosive actions, showing to improve performance and influencing the range of movement for the sport ( Galazoulas, 2017 ).…”

Moreover, victory in sport depends on a combination of many factors: technical and tactical actions and physiological, psychological, and anthropometric parameters (Ciemiński, 2017).…”
