THE IMPORTANCE AND UTILITY OF THE "DATA VOLLEY" SOFTWARE IN THE PROCESS OF TECHNICAL - TACTICAL TRAINING OF SENIOR VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

Lately sports have become all the more technologized, which is why success is no longer mentioned without the
use of the computer and the new modern means. In volleyball, like in other sporting games, the analysis of the competition is considered to be an important means of performance diagnosis in view of determining some parameters for directing the training process of the concepts and competitional strategies. “Data Volley” is the most complete and complex software created for the tactical and technical analysis of a match or volleyball training session. Being modified and completed after the suggestions and indications of several specialists in the last few years, the programme answers to every demand and necessity of any trainer who wants to develop tactically and technically his team. The programme includes a quick system of recording the data through the use of the keyboard, therefore each technical process used in the volleyball game is represented by a code defined by a letter on the keyboard. Once the codes introduced, the programme will take care of the rest of the calculations. A wide number of pre-set functions will help in decoding the tactical schemes or the individual  actions during a game, underlining the strong and the weak features of the opponents. Analysing all the basic codes, one can obtain a series of details concerning the abilities of a certain player, of the entire team, in a particular moment of the game, on a certain position in the field, in a single set, or for all the sets throughout an entire season. In conclusion, the "Data Volley" software can be used both before or during the games, to improve the game tactics depending on the opponent, or during the training sessions to optimize and correct the technical-tactical actions of one’s own team, as well as for each game position in part.
