This paper is been chosen to explain the different velocity and direction during an attack. It helps to understand the open question, why we experienced different speed of the attack in different location of the court. "Kinematic research has found that the effectiveness of an
attack in volleyball is to a large extent determined by the velocity of the ball. Another significant factor is the choice of the appropriate direction of the attack. " (page 3, 10.2478_pjst-2018-0020.pdf

Figure 1, page4, 10.2478_pjst-2018-0020.pdf
 

The result out of this paper shows that four different types of attacks: from the left side of the court down the line and in the cross-court direction  and from the right side in the same directions. The velocity was the lowest in attack cross-court direction from the left side and the highest in attack cross court direction from the right side. 

 

The comparative results direction of attack velocity could be produced by hitting the ball in a non-central manner and
by aligning the glenohumeral joints diagonally to the net, which shows that the set direction needs to be parallel in order to achieve an optimal velocity.
Implementing this theoretical knowledge into practical technical training and game, your club or private coach can you assist to focus on the technique to repeat this result. Senior players can provide advises.

In this session, we delve into the strategic dynamics of beach volleyball, particularly examining the efficiency of attack and block strategies within the context of male FIVB and CEV beach volleyball. To explore these nuances, we refer to the document titled "jhse_Vol_10_N_2_537-549.pdf."

 

The objective of this paper is to analyze the prevalence of spike and shot techniques in both sideout and counterattack scenarios. Notably, the study highlights that the spike remains the favored attack method, predominantly utilized during sideout situations rather than counterattacks.

Statistical analysis indicates that spikes are consistently chosen as the primary attack method in both sideout and counterattack phases. This can be attributed to the distinct tactical requirements during sideout (including serve receive, set, and attack) as opposed to counterattacks (involving block, dig, set, and attack).

For a more comprehensive understanding, specific details are outlined in the provided tables:

  • Refer to Table 1 on Page 541 of jhse_Vol_10_N_2_537-549.pdf.
  • Further insights can be found in Table 2 on Page 542 of the same document.

The conclusions drawn from this research underline the continued prevalence of spike-based attacks during sideout and counterattack situations. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that success rates exhibit a correlation with player skill level, indicating a propensity for higher error rates among advanced players. Furthermore, while different attack types exist, they tend to hold secondary significance.

Armed with these findings, the practical implications for training sessions come into focus. Strategies such as feigned blocking or specialized receptions can be emphasized in training routines. For more specific guidance, consult your club or private coach, while experienced senior players can also offer valuable insights.

Improving your beach volleyball game involves both tactical mastery and collaborative learning.

Digger’s activity at men’s European Beach Volleyball University Championship, 2017_Jimenez_Penichet_JPES.pdf

 

This paper is shown to address the research in digging strategy and tactics, which is part of the 6 main strategies in Beach Volleyball to look at. The research on the dig strategy is to give the deeper fundamental understanding with evidentially empirical data to confirm or reject subjective perception how digging or tactics have or have not an impact on the overall match outcome.

 

Observing and Analyzing the latest outcome of a professional Beach Volleyball final matches situation it was established, that the dig skill correlate with the attacks. This document gives an better understanding about the dig strategy with the numeric evaluations.

The analysis and conclusion of this paper identify that the majority used dig strategy is largely passive, which according to the findings less effective in referring to winning the point adavantages. The most effective digging action tactic  is the static active defense.
knowing those surprisingly base on real data outcome, it is possible to adjust and create the dig strategy and the technical play based on this research result.

This comprehensive research paper give a comprehensive statistical evaluation and shows patterns of tactical Volleyball play. It helps to understand pattern and support the build up of knowledge for the anticipation skill development.
Following highlighted empirical evaluations shows the spread of tactics success and error rate, which clearly indicate significant importance tight score situations:

15. Session : Analysis of Critical Determinant Factors for Beach Volleyball Winning in Elite Men and Women Teams

document(pdf): AnalysisofCriticalDeterminantFactorsforBeachvolleyballWinninginEliteMenandWomenteams.pdf

This new research paper delves into the key factors that determine victory in beach volleyball, and the results are not only surprising but also align with previous studies conducted in previous years. Breakpoints emerge as the most crucial determinants of game-winning success.

In order to secure these vital break points, the serving team must execute a series of skills, including precise serving and effective blocking. To gain a deeper understanding of how these break points are achieved, please refer to the following explanation:

 

"The definition and connotation of breakpoints are identical to those of counterattack. Both of them
require players to perform a series of skills to score. Break points are scored if a service team (a) scores a
service point, (b) serves → scores block points, or (c) serves → blocks and performs back defense → sets
→ scores a counterattack point. The first two series of skills are included in the study’s definition of
breakpoints, whereas the third series is considered a counterattack composed of a specific skill combination.
From the receiving team’s perspective, a breakpoint is scored if (a) the opponent team incurs a reception
error, (b) the opponent team incurs errors, or (c) the opponent team receives the serve → sets → incurs
attack errors. Overall, breakpoints occur when the receiving team incurs errors in offensive or defensive
skills, which result in the serving team scoring."

The importance of the breaking points is reflected in the statistical output, which can be found on those figures

This research paper aims to elucidate the assessment of the physical load and strain endured by Beach Volleyball players across various types of activities. This pursuit is motivated by the intention to enhance tournament or formal match preparedness from a research-driven standpoint, diverging from the conventional wisdom rooted in the experiences of seasoned players. Consequently, the study endeavors to furnish players with an informed perspective on tailoring their training regimens to align with their individual attributes. Notably, the research outcome may support the contention that tactical and technical training incurs the most substantial physical load on the player, suggesting potential adjustments to training volumes in the lead-up to formal matches.

Este artículo de investigación tiene como objetivo esclarecer la evaluación de la carga física y la tensión soportada por los jugadores de Voleibol de Playa en diversas actividades. Esta búsqueda está motivada por la intención de mejorar la preparación para torneos o partidos formales desde un enfoque basado en la investigación, divergiendo de la sabiduría convencional arraigada en las experiencias de jugadores experimentados. En consecuencia, el estudio se esfuerza por proporcionar a los jugadores una perspectiva informada sobre cómo adaptar sus regímenes de entrenamiento para que se ajusten a sus atributos individuales. Notablemente, el resultado de la investigación podría respaldar la afirmación de que el entrenamiento táctico y técnico implica la carga física más sustancial para el jugador, lo que sugiere posibles ajustes en los volúmenes de entrenamiento previos a los partidos formales.
