THE METHODOLOGY OF APPLYING THE “DATA VOLLEY” PROGRAMME OF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS WITHIN VOLLEYBALL SPORTS COMPETITIONS
In volleyball as in other sports games, the statistical analysis of the competition is considered to be an important means of diagnosing performance in order to determine parameters for targeting the training process, ideas and strategies during competitions. In recent years, the volleyball game has become more and more dynamic, being characterized by the variety of game phases and the speed at which they alternate during competitions. As a result, the game has become increasingly difficult to follow, without having available new technological methods to help the coach track the multitude of game actions for each player or the entire team. At the international level, there are several performance evaluation methodologies, but in Romania, at senior level there are not many such methods of analysis and evaluation that give us complete and objective statistics on performance. At the moment, a very effective methodology from our point of view, which can be applied in the practice of volleyball, is the „Data Volley‟ statistical analysis. This program of evaluating performance is a very complex one and offers us many opportunities. Thus, in this paper, we propose the application of this statistical analysis software in the official competitions of the volleyball game, at senior level.
