Variations of technical actions between the top-4 Portuguese professional volleyball teams and the top-4 Euro league top national teams
In elite volleyball, previous studies revealed some patterns in male technical actions. The opposite is the most scorer player, middle blockers are the most efficient players in the block action, while outside hitters -- to winning points in a high level -- require perfect receptions, fast attack tempo and powerfully executed attacks. The purpose of this study was to compare different technical actions between the top 4 Portuguese volleyball teams and top 4 Golden European League. The study included the top 4 teams participating in the European Volleyball Golden League in 2018 and the top 4 teams participating in the Portuguese Volleyball League. We analyzed 8 outside hitters, 8 middle blockers and 4 opposite players from each league (total of 40 players). This study analyzed a total of 430 technical actions (attack efficacy of the opposite - 109 actions -, block efficiency of the middle blockers -- 155 actions -- and receptions efficacy of the outside hitters -- 166 actions).

Jump performance in Volleyball: type and intensity of the jumps of the outside hitter and middle blocker
Volleyball is a non-invasive net sport. Teams perform alternative high-intensity actions of passing a ball and trying to send it to the opponent's court. Traditionally, monitoring players' jumping ability in a competition involves the assessment of the types and the number of jumps that the players perform. Previous studies showed that players' game demands changed according to the players' positions and their specificity. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the types and intensities of the jumps (that professional male volleyball players executed according to particular playing positions. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the types and intensity of the jumps of outside hitters and middle blockers in the senior 1st division of volleyball in Portugal. The results confirm the need to individualize the practice and training of volleyball players according to the players' roles. More studies are needed to provide more information about repeated jump ability in volleyball players.

PREDICTORES DE LA EFICACIA DE RECEPCIÓN EN VOLEIBOL MUNDIAL MASCULINO U-21 Y ABSOLUTO
El objetivo de la investigación fue conocer las variables de recepción que predecían su eficacia, en diferentes niveles de juego (U-21, absoluto) en voleibol masculino. La muestra del estudio estuvo compuesta 3442 acciones de recepción, de las cuales 1894 corresponden a categoría U-21 (U-21 Men´s World Championship) y 1548 a categoría absoluta (Absolute Men´s World Championship). Las variables del estudio fueron: función del receptor, desplazamiento previo del receptor, tipo de recepción, posición del receptor, técnica de recepción, zona de recepción, eficacia de recepción. El análisis de regresión logística multinomial mostró que, el desplazamiento previo del receptor y la técnica de recepción fueron predictoras en ambas categorías, U-21 y absoluta; el tipo de recepción y zona de recepción fueron predictoras únicamente en U-21; la posición del receptor fue predictora únicamente en absoluta. Dicha información puede ayudar al proceso de entrenamiento favoreciendo el diseño de tareas concretas para cada nivel de juego.
