Περίληψη:
The purpose of this study was to compare elite male and female volleyball setters regarding the time-zone setting choice and their performance per rotation. A three-member team of experienced coaches recorded and evaluated the actions of male (M) and female (F) setters from 20 videotaped high-level volleyball games (M=10, F=10) from the final phase of the World League in 2017. The assessment was based on the 5-point rating scale (0-4) of Eom & Schutz (1992). The test of independence for the categorical variables was carried out using the X2 test and the Fishers exact test. Following the overall independence test we examined the differences in proportions between genders for each level of the variables. Results showed that, when the men setters were on the rotation of the defensive line preferred setting the ball to zone 6 more often than women, who set the ball more often to zone 2. Also, male setters used more frequently the fast 2nd tempo settings, whereas the female setters preferred the 2nd and 3rd slow tempo settings. As far as the quality of the setting is concerned, male setters were found to be in all rotations more qualitative in their actions than their female counterparts. In conclusion, the male setters at all rotations were more qualitative in their settings than women and organized a fast and balanced game, using the back zones attacks, especially when they were in the rotations of the defensive line.
