Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the technical profile of performance in setters according to the age group and competitive level in women’s volleyball. Material and methods: a total of 9,977 game phases from the under-14 age group to the international level were analyzed. The variables analyzed were: age group & level of competition, game phase, reception/dig efficacy, setting technique, setting zone, distance from the net in which the setting was executed, starting position of the setter, and setting efficacy. Results: as the level of competition increased, there was an increase in the frequency of the jump set and its efficacy, and the setting was less conditioned by the previous action (service reception/defense). Conclusion: there was a relationship between the level of competition the quality of the set and the frequency of use of the jump set. The results provide normative profiles of the set through the different stages of development of volleyball female players.
