FORMING COURSES OF COURT ORIENTATION DURING THE ATTACKING HIT IN VOLLEYBALL

Abstract

The article highlights the importance of the issue of court orientation during an attacking hit, as the effectiveness of attacks in modern volleyball largely depends on the ability to see the court, assessing the positioning of opponents and teammates, which allows quick decision-making and adjusting the attack's direction.

Aim of the article. The aim of this work was to develop a methodology for forming the ability to see the court during an attacking hit in volleyball and test its effectiveness in the players' training process.

Methodology. The research was conducted among players of the women's and men's volleyball teams of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, who were divided into a control group and an experimental group. The training of the control group was conducted using traditional methods, while the experimental group trained with a new methodology that included exercises for developing the ability to see the court during different phases of the attacking hit. To assess the effectiveness of the methodology, methods of pedagogical experiments, game situation analysis, and athletes' performance testing were used.

Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of a methodology that includes specialized exercises for each phase of the attacking hit (preparation, run-up, jump, hit, landing), allowing players to orient themselves more effectively on the court and make optimal decisions during the attack. The developed methodology was tested in the training process of volleyball players, which allowed evaluating its impact on improving the effectiveness of players' attacking actions.

Conclusions. The results of the experimental study showed that the application of the methodology significantly improves decision-making, hit accuracy, and tactical orientation of volleyball players, who demonstrated better results compared to the control group. The implementation of a phased approach to developing visual orientation allows players to better adapt to rapidly changing game conditions, improving their overall performance on the court.
