RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN QUALITIES OF GAME SKILLS IN THEIR SEQUENCE AS A FACTOR OF WINNING IN VOLLEYBALL MATCH OF U15 BOYS

The aim of the paper is to analyze if the relationship between quality of game skills in their sequence, in concrete terms between service reception or field defense and attack, has an influence on the outcome of match sets. The research was carried out on the teams of young volleyball players taking part in the Slovak National U15 Championship 2006. The quality of game skills was assessed in 7 matches (16 sets) by 4, respectively 3points scale. The relationship between quality of game skills in their sequence and the outcome of sets was assessed by X(2)-test. The results indicate a common significant relationship between quality of service reception or field defense and quality of following attack (X(2)=37.669, respectively 65.870; p<0.01). The relationship between qualities of game skills in their sequence from the view of the outcome of sets was very similar in both winning and losing teams. No significant differences were found.
