Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the association between the teams’ classification and the setting variables, in both genders. The study sample was comprise of a total of 1638 setting actions, carried out by the 34 teams (16 male, 18 female) participating in the Under-16 Spanish Championship. The study variables were the classification and the setting variables (setting zone, type of set, setting technique, set´s area, tempo of set). The results showed significant association between the classification and the setting zone, setting technique and setting efficacy, in both genders; the classification and the type of set, in male gender; and the classification and the tempo of set, in female gender. These results highlighted that, even though the set is an intermediate action, it have a fundamental importance in the game, and it may affect to the final classification of the team in competition.
