Resumo

The aim was to determine which performance indicators show significant differences in connection with age category and team’s level in women's international volleyball. The competitions analyzed were Senior Volleyball Nations League (n= 130 games) and U20 (n= 64 games) and U18 (n= 63 games) World Championships held in 2019. The results obtained in this study showed that inthe U18 category there were more errorsper set(U18 8.33vs. Senior 5.25 vs. U20 6.00errorspoints, p<.001) and greater serve effectiveness (U18 9.00% vs. Senior 6.00%vs. U20 7.00%, p<.001). In U20 there was a huge leap in quality with maximum values in block performance (U20 25.00%vs. Senior 15.00% vs. U18 15.00%, p<.001) and an increase in attack variables (U20 39.00%vs U18 33.00%, p<.001) accompanied by a decrease in errorspoints per set(U20 6.00vs U18 8.33errors points, p<.001) and serve effectiveness (U20 7.00%vs U18 9.00%, p<.001). In the Seniors category, there was a decrease in block effectiveness (Senior 15.00%vs U20 25.00%, p<.001) and an increase in attackspoints per set (Senior 13.30vs U20 12.00 vs U18 9.70points, p<.001). In the comparison between levels, more differences were detected when teams were further apart in the ranking, and attack and block effectiveness were the most relevant indicatorsin thethree-agecategory. Based on the findings of this study, we can determine performance indicators for each age category and level, allowing coaches and technical staff to establish new training strategies for their team’s improvement and success.
