Figure 9. Synergiograms of ball passes creating score-gaining situations made from position „5” in OM and LA teams
all partners in creation of score-gaining situations,
and they differ by the intensity of passes to specific
players. „1” – OM cooperates at the level of 7 passes
in the game with „3” and „1” – LA with „5” at the level
of 5 passes creating score-gaining situations on the
average.
Data obtained from the synergiograms presented in
Figure 8 indicate that both in OM and LA teams, players
from position „4” make passes creating score-gaining
situations to players in positions „2”, „3” and „5”. “4” in LA
particularly intensively cooperates with „2” (Kobi Bryant),
and „4” in OM similarly intensively cooperates with all
positions.
Data from synergiograms presented in Figure 9
show that positions „5” in OM and LA to a small extent
create score-gaining situations by the pass and
they cooperate in OM with „4” and „2”, and in LA
„1” and „2”.
3. Team aspect of synergy in the sports game
In order to summarize results of the research
concerning importance of cooperation in creation of
score-gaining situations in the volleyball game, the
indices allowing evaluation of the scope of application
and utilization of synergy by the examined teams
in combinations, determined on the basis of the assessment
of the number of specific types of actions
carried out at various tempo by individual teams, were
analysed.
The research covered eighteen offensive combinations
with the participation of two or three players,
used to create score-gaining situations by teams
representing Brazil, Russia and Serbia in international
tournaments. The combinations are performed
using various tempo of passes, with the participation
of two or three players, using various zones of
the playing field. The combinations were divided into
three groups depending on their complexity, defined
as performed at tempo I, II or III. Those performed
at tempo III e.g. with the participation of two players
and using a high free pass to zone II or IV were
regarded as the least complex. Combinations performed
at tempo III e.g. with the participation of three
players and using a fast flat pass to zone I, V or VI
were regarded as the most complex. The combinations
which were analysed are described in details
by Superlak [21].
