Abstract
Many studies have been conducted to explore the factors that determine a performance of the individual player or team in the volleyball, and they have found that some specific motions for the individual player or team have an influence on their performance. However, there is a shortage of empirical analysis on the determinants of match results, it has not been clarified yet. This study applies an econometric method and empirically examines the determinants of match results using a sample of Men's Matches in Kansai University Volleyball Federation from 2014 to 2017. The result shows that the average number of the block is the most important factor to win the match.
