In this work we have tried to make analysis of specialized activity of setter's sets. Our research observed five setters from the best european club competitions- Michal Sládeček, Raphael Vieira de Oliveiro, Lukasz Zygadl, Sergey Grankyn and Simon Fischer. The analysis of their game performance in six Champion League matches 2009/2010 was focused on quality of the set, its frequency into particular directions and kind of the set from two different qualities of reception. We also concentrated on laying-out of sets and their qualities until the first sequence. For gathering objective information we used a method of indirect observation. We also had video recordings of all six chosen Champion League matches 2009/2010.Conclusions and results of the thesis could be used during the training process, mainly to improve game activities of an individual. In concrete terms we focused on the position of a setter who works as a prolonged hand of a trainer and is influenced by his commands from the point of view of tactics. This work could refer to the right and tactical laying-out of sets in matches and importance of quality of the set. Creating the metodology for recording and evaluation of the set which is dependent on the previous reception helped us evaluate the individual game performance of the setters in their...

Title: Vertical jump comparison of women's volleyball players Objectives: The aim of this work was to coparison of vertical jump, postural stability and body composition of women's volleyball players before and after season 2012/2013. During the season there was a deliberate intervention to develop explosive power. By the comparing the input and output of results we conclude that the training developed or didn't develop explosive power of the lower limbs, and that had an effect on body composition and stability. Methods: The study included 10 women from 2. Volleyball League (n=10 , age = ± 20,6 years, height = ± 172,7 cm, BMI = ± 0,19 kg/cm2 ). For input and output testing, we used three different tests. First, we measured body composition, then postural stability (1) narrow standing with eyes open (the US-OO), (2) narrow standing with eyes closed (the US-ZO), (3) standing on the right lower limb "flamingo test "(the FLA-R), (4) stands on the left lower limb (the FLA-L). Finally, the players performed six types of vertical jump. Jump with the upper limbs (V1 - Countermovement jump free arms) jump without the help of the upper limbs (V2 - Countermovement jump), jump from squatting (V3 - Squat jump), when the whole movement only made up, without countermovement, block jump (V4 - Block), moving one...

TITLE Compensation program for volleyball players OBJECTIVES The aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate how much will volleyball players improve their sensomotor functions and symmetry of loading with both halves of the body after special program on balance desks. In comparison of other volleyball players, whose program was designed by their coaches. The other aim of this thesis was to find out a degree of a pain on a 0 to 10 pain scale and the feeling of the ankle instability before and after the six weeks intervention program. METHODS The diploma thesis is a comparative study of the two control groups. In each group was 10 players from volleyball team CZU Prague. The practical part is focused on a diagnosis of sensomotor index and also on a diagnosis of an symmetry index of loading on both halves of the body using diagnostical balance desk MFT S3 CHECK. Subsequently a compensation program was compiled, which contains a group fitness exercises on mechanical balance desks MFT-Trim Disk a MFT-Fit Disk. At the end of this practical part the efficiency of this program described above is evaluated in comparison of the fitness program suggested by coaches. RESULTS Both hypothesis were confirmed. The volleyball players who underwent exercises on balance desks have significantly improved in a measured...

Title Acute effect of static and dynamic stretching on vertical jump. Objectives The aim of this thesis is to assess whether it is better to warm up by static or dynamic stretching in order to improve performance in the vertical jump. Methods The first part of this thesis is theoretical and is the basis for measurement, which is described in the second part. The tested set consists of ten women volleyball players. Each player underwent three vertical jump measurements on power plates Kistler, which recorded flight time of the player over the plates. All measurements were evaluated afterwards. Five attempts were recorded in each measurement. Measurements were carried out without stretching, after dynamic stretching and after static stretching. The thesis includes a survey that monitors the perception of the players` performance. Results Results of the total tested set measurement show that inclusion of dynamic stretching during the warm up leads to a slight decline in the physical performance. This decrease presents about 0.92%. Another conclusion of this research is that the inclusion of static stretching to the warm up also results in a slight decrease in the athletic performance. In this case the decrease is about 1.72%. In a direct comparison of these two types of stretching, the inclusion of...

The topic of this diploma thesis is Volleyball in physical education on first stage of elementary school. The main problems examined in the thesis are the method of teaching volleyball at the elementary schools in Jirkov, the inclusion of volleyball in the lessons of physical education, the skill level of pupils of the first stage before the implementation of the teaching program and after its implementation. Based on the research I reach the conclusion that volleyball is taught in the same way at all schools, only 33 % of teachers from all schools includes volleyball in the lessons of physical education, the skill level of pupils of ordinary classes and classes of minivolleyball is different before and after implementation and that there was an improvement in the skill level of all pupils. This work could be an inspiration for current and future teachers of physical education at elementary school. KEYWORDS Volleyball, minivolleyball, physical education, teaching program, 1st stage

O objetivo desse trabalho foi observar se as ações de jogo de voleibol (i.e., saque, recepção, levantamento, ataque, bloqueio, defesa), as ações consecutivas e os complexos de jogo (KI e KII) alteram-se com aumentos de força e potência muscular. Vinte e oito jogadoras amadoras de duas equipes diferentes dividiram-se em grupo controle (GC) e experimental (GE), sendo GE submetido a oito semanas de treinamento de força e pliometria (TC) para membros inferiores e superiores. Foram realizados testes de força dinâmica máxima (agacha-mento e supino), T de agilidade modificado, arremesso de medicinebol, salto vertical com contramovimento, força reativa e potência (agachamento com salto e supino com arremesso da barra),e essas variáveis foram denominadas motoras. As ações de jogo foram denominadas de variáveis técnico-tática-estratégicas e foram analisadas quanto à frequência absoluta, relativa e efetividade. Observaram-se melhoras de GE para 1RM no agachamento e supino, tempo do teste T modificado, potência pico de membros superiores e distância no arremesso de medicinebol, com aumento significante desta última também para GC (p<0,05). Não foram observadas diferenças entre os grupos após o TC (p>0,05) em nenhuma das variáveis motoras. Para as varáveis técnico-tática-estratégicas, os efeitos do TC para GE, em relação a GC, parecem influenciar o tipo de levantamento de um modo geral e após uma ação, o tipo de ataque após uma ação, o tempo de ataque, a quantidade de bloqueadores e o tipo de defesa com deslocamentos, assim como, ao considerar a combinação de ações consecutivas, pareceram influenciar o tipo de levantamento nas diferentes zonas de levantamentos após a recepção e a defesa, as inversões do levantamento para maiores distâncias após a recepção e a defesa, bem como a quantidade de bloqueadores para os ataques de bolas mais altas e para as bolas intermediárias, a defesa para os ataques sem bloqueios e com bloqueios simples e as defesas para os ataques mais rápidos. Em relação aos complexos de jogo, ainda, os efeitos do TC pareceram influenciar o tipo e o tempo de ataque quando as recepções são realizadas com deslocamento no complexo I, enquanto no complexo II, pareceram influenciar os tempos de ataque quando a equipe que contra-ataca tem a posse do saque, bem como o tipo e o tempo dos contra-ataques que tiveram início com defesa com deslocamento. Por fim, a efetividade das ações de jogo pareceu ser pouco influenciada pelas alterações induzidas pelo TC, com pequenos aumentos para o levantamento e bloqueio. A inclusão do TC ao treinamento específico exerce pouca influência sobre o desempenho técnico-tático-estratégico de jogadoras de voleibol amadoras. Entretanto, este foi o primeiro estudo a investigar tal relação, de modo que, pesquisas adicionais e a busca por meios de avaliação capazes de identificar de modo objetivo e preciso as alterações físicas num contexto específico do jogo são necessários / The aims of this study were test if performance in volleyballs skills (i.e. service, re-ception, set, spike, block and dig), as well as their combinations and game phases (side out and side out transition), are influenced by muscle power improvements achieved with a com-bined training (CT). Twenty-eight amateurs volleyball players from two different teams par-ticipated on this study. Players were assigned to either a control (CG;n=14) or training (TG;n=14) group. TG performed eight weeks of CT, twice a week, using plyometric and tra-ditional strength exercises for both the lower and upper limbs. Both groups maintained their technical-tactical training routines. Motor (1RM squat and bench press, time on agility T modified test, medicineball throw distance, countermovement jump height (CMJ), reactive strength index (RSI), and peak power in jump squat and bench throw exercises) and sport-specific performance(game analysis) were accessed before and after experimental protocol. Squat and bench press 1RM, agility T test-time, bench throw-peak power and medicineball throw distance improved for the TG (p<0,05). However, there were no differences between groups in any of the motor variables tested (p>0,05). It seems that TG had improved and changed the type of set, type and time of attacks, number of blockers and getting behind the ball to dig. Actions game combinations seemed have improved also, especially type of set from different set zones after reception and dig, sets to the farthest distances, attacks in oppo-sition to two players blocks and number of blockers to high balls, as well as digs to attacks without block, with a single player block and after ball touches block and digs for quick at-tacks also. Besides, it seems that TG had improved their type and time of attacks in KI when they were initiated with receptions after displacements, and time of attacks in KII when teams were serving, as well as when they were initiated with dig after displacements. Finally, total game actions effectiveness was little or no influenced by increasing strength and power per-formances. Since this was the first research that had investigated if increasing strength and power output also improve sport specific performances, additional researches are necessary, as well as an instrument which measures precisely and objectively the alterations in games actions in a game specific context must be search
