EFFECTS OF SERVE TYPE, POSITION, AND GENDER ON THE SERVE SPEED OF ELITE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

Jump service is a powerful serve type and produces greater power output in volleyball. Among serve types, the speed of JT serves is the fastest. This study included 120 female and 134 male volleyball players. In total, male players performed 3296 serves (jump topspin (JT)=1546, jump float (JF)=1745, tennis=5) while females performed 2872 serves (JT=163, JF=2163, tennis=546) over several volleyball games. Serve speeds were measured with a radar gun. A χ2 test was performed to analyze differences in the distribution of serve types used by male and female volleyball players. Comparisons were performed via analysis of variance to detect the effect of gender, player position, and serve type on serve speed. Serve types used by female and male players were different (p<0.05). The interaction of gender, player position, and serve type on serve speed was significant (F(6,6166)=70.622, p<0.0001). The main effects of gender, player position, and serve type were also significant (F(1,6166)=22.848, p<0.0001; F(3,6166)=4.369 ,p=0.004; and F(2,6166)=150.916, p<0.0001, respectively). Males produced more powerful serves than their female counterparts (p < 0.001l). The speeds of JT serves were higher than those of JF serves among males (p < 0.0001).Females preferred JF serve instead of SS which was found to be most used serve type in previous studies. The characteristics of female volleyball are changing to a powerful game style. Female opposites should be trained to improve their JT and JF serves because their serve speeds were generally lower than those of other female players.
