Technical and tactical analysis of women’s volleyball
Summary Introduction: The study aim was to construct a technical and tactical analysis of women’s volleyball based on notational analysis in top-level and junior women’s European volleyball matches, to compare these two levels, and to clarify the differences between the winners and losers of a set. Material and Methods: Four matches from the 2010 FIVB Women’s Volleyball World Championships and 2010 CEV Junior Women’s European Championship 2010 were analyzed using Data Volley software. The number and performance level of different skills were recorded in total and were grouped according to the role of the players. Methods of scoring and attacking zones were also analyzed. Results: There were…
How physical activity, fitness, and motor skills contribute to math performance: Working memory as a mediating factor
Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine whether physical activity, fitness and motor skills have indirect association with math performance via cognitive outcomes and if so, through which aspects of cognition? Methods This study comprised 311 6th–9th grade adolescents (12–17y [M age=14.0y], 59% girls) from seven schools throughout Finland in 2015. Math performance was measured via a teacher-rated math achievement and the Basic Arithmetic test. Cognitive functions were measured by broad cognitive test battery. Physical activity was assessed with a self-reported questionnaire and a hip-worn accelerometer. Aerobic fitness was estimated using a maximal 20-m shuttle run test, muscular f…
Naisten lentopallon teknis-taktinen lajianalyysi - vertailu neljän tason välillä
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli rakentaa naisten lentopallon teknis-taktista lajianalyysiä pelianalyysiin pohjautuen. Tutkimuksessa analysoitiin naisten lentopallo-otteluita neljältä eri tasolta: naisten MM-kisoista (4 ottelua), EM-karsinnasta (5 ott.), nuorten EM-kisoista (4 ott.) ja SM-liigasta (4 ott.). Ottelun, erien, erätaukojen, pallorallien ja pallorallien välisten taukojen kestot mitattiin. Aloitussyöttöjen, hyvästä vastaanotosta tapahtuneen passien ja vastaanottohyökkäysten lentoajat määritettiin. Lajisuoritusten määrät ja laadut kirjattiin pelaajaroolikohtaisesti. Pisteiden tekotavat, pallorallin hyökkäysten lukumäärä ja passijakauma selvitettiin eräkohtaisesti. Pallorallin keskimää…
