ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IN WINNING TEAMS OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS OF TOP LEVEL FEMALE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

The aim of this research was to determine if there are significant differences in performance indicators between cadet, junior and senior winning teams in top level female volleyball. On a sample of games played at European Championships, this research was conducted by analysing a total of 32 285 game actions performed by winning teams while examining the following six phases in volleyball: Serve, Reception, Attack, Block, Defence and Counterattack. For each of the mentioned six phases, statistically significant differences were determined by using the Student t-test between pairs of individual age groups: cadet and junior players differ in Serve, Reception and Defence ; cadet and senior players differ in Serve, Attack and Defence ; junior and senior players differ in Serve, Reception and Defence. The obtained results provide information on performance indicators of different age groups in female volleyball and they can be applied in increasing the quality of training programming, game management and in the selection and development of top level female volleyball players.
