Sažetak
The importance of the morphological features and motor, functional and specific cognitive abilities as regards successful performance of six elements of the volleyball game (Serve, Serve Receiving, Setting, Spike, Block and Court Defense) was assessed by 9 volleyball experts. Three groups were established by using hierarchical cluster analysis according to the playing distance from the net. Block and spike elements belong to group A hence this group is named playing above the net ; the serve receiving, setting and defense elements make group B, so it is named playing in one´s halfe of the court ; the serve makes group C. Based on the arithmetic means of the judges' rating it might be concluded that group A is characterized by a very high level of explosive power, longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton and coordination, and in general a higher level of power and endurance than in the other groups. Group B is characterized by a very high level of accuracy and coordination. The characteristic of this group is a very high level of anticipation, speed of reaction, agility, a highly developed sense of distance and flexibility. Group C is characterized by a very high level of accuracy and a highly developed sense of distance and explosive power though not so high as in the other groups.
