Abstract(s)
The aim of this study was to investigate the volleyball setter’s decisionmaking
on tipping, based on spatiotemporal variables of interaction
between players and between players and the game environment.
The sample consisted of 172 sequences of 20 volleyball games
from 6 male and 10 female teams. The actions selected for analysis
were 86 tips and 86 sets (control group), both made by the setters.
From the players’ x and y coordinates of displacement trajectory, 37
spatiotemporal measures of players’ interaction were calculated as
dependent variables, which were analysed by multivariate analysis
of variance. Results showed that tips and sets differed in terms of (i)
final area between opponents, (ii) displacement of setter to reach the
ball, (iii) displacement velocity of setter to reach the ball, (iv) distance
between setter and net in the initial moment, (v) distance between
setter and net in the final moment, (vi) pass velocity and (vii) final
distance between setter and blockers. It was concluded that these
variables formed a spatiotemporal configuration of the game that
influenced the setter’s decision-making on tipping.
