COMPARISON OF WINNING PLAYING MODELS ON THREE LEVELS OF COMPETITION IN THE VOLLEYBALL WORLD LEAGUE

The aim of this research is to compare playing models of winning national teams on three different levels of competition in the Volleyball Nations League, as well as to verify if there is a statistically significant difference in the method for winning over their opponents. The sample included a total of 67 won sets that were played by three top-seeded national teams in each group: (France, n=26, Slovenia, n=22, Estonia, n=19). The variables that were observed during the matches were as follows: Points Won By Spiking After Serve Reception – K1_ATT, Points Won By Spiking After Defence – K2_KATT, Points Won By Blocking – BLOCK, Points Won By Service – SERVE, Points Won By Opponent Error – OTF. Descriptive indicators were calculated separately for each national team, while the difference between the groups was verified by using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann Whitney U post – hoc test with the Bonferroni correction. The Kruskal-Wallis test registered a statistically significant difference between the playing models of the three winning national teams in the variable BLOCK, c2 (2, n=67) =8, 33, p=0, 02. There is a statistically significant difference in the number of points won in the BLOCK variable. The reason for such results can be in the fact that the national team of Estonia played in the weakest group (the groups are formed according to the FIVB official ranking). Therefore, the block of the Estonian national team was not equally put to the test as the block of the Slovenia and France national teams.
