The quality of the set as a factor influencing the outcome of competitive activities in beach volleyball

Abstract

Actuality of research theme. Beach volleyball is undergoing rapid development at the present stage due to the inclusion of it in the program of the Olympic Games since 1996. The founders of the game and favorites over the past decades, athletes from the United States are experiencing intense competition on the world stage and are now inferior to the world's leading players. The level of Ukrainian beach volleyball athletes is significantly inferior to world leaders. All this requires the scientific support of the training of athletes from beach volleyball and the use of training in innovative approaches to the development of leading special physical fitness athletes, the identification of priorities in the further organization and planning of the training process. All this conditioned the relevance of our research. Purpose of research –to investigate the quality of sets for the organization of offensive actions, their influence on making further tactical decisions regarding the use of various types of attacks in the attack and the impact on the effectiveness of attacks during the competitive activities of athletes from beach volleyball. Methods of research: theoretical analysis of literary sources and generalization of information, statistical analysis of games (determination of average arithmetic data and percentages), pedagogical observation, methods of mathematicalstatistics. Results of work and key conclusions. The article analyzes the quantity and quality of the sets for strikes in the attack, their influence on the definition and adoption of further tactical decisions on the use of various types of strikes in anattack (power and tactical nature). The effectiveness of various types of strikes in the attack, taking into account the quality of the previous sets, has been determined. These data are analyzed in comparison with the data presented internationally. The quality of the set has a significant impact on the quantitative and qualitative indicators in the attack as a whole and on the decision to use force strikes. With the decrease in the quality of set, the indicators of quantity and quality of strikes in a violent attack are significantly deteriorating.
