バレーボールにおけるルール改正がサーブとサーブレシーブに与える影響に関する研究

抄録

    The rule was revised in 1994, and the serving zone was enlarged and two consecutive contacts was allowed in the first contact. Samples were taken from 190 sets played in the 1995 spring Kyushu league of intercollegiate women's volleyball and analyzed to clarify the influence of the rule revision on service and serve-reception.

    Main findings were as follows:

    1) We divided the 9 meter new serving zone into three 3 meter segments to compare in this study. No considerable difference was found among the three segments in the statistics on the direction of service and the evaluation of results. Service from the previous serving zone accounted for more than half (52.42%) of the whole services.

    2) Directions of services which were instrumental in winning/losing the set differed among the three serving zone segments. It was inferred that the direction of service is very important in the game under the newly revised rules.

    3) The overhand serve-receptions accounted for very small part (1.46%) of the whole serve-receptions.

    4) No considerable difference was found in the evaluation of underhand serve-reception and overhand serve-reception. Almost no influence of the newly revised rules on serve-reception was observed.
