ارتباط الگوهای زمانی و رفتاری روتین های پیش از اجرا با موفقیت مهارت سرویس در والیبالیست‌های ماهر

Many studies indicate that pre-performance routines positively impact performance. However, the connection between the timing and behavioral aspects of these routines in real-life competition settings has not been explored. This study aims to examine how these temporal and behavioral patterns of pre-performance routines relate to the success of service skills in skilled volleyball players. The research employed a descriptive correlational method, analyzing one year of footage from the Men's Volleyball Nations League, which included 15 serves from 30 domestic and foreign players. Only serves clearly visible in the video, allowing for accurate recording of both the routine and its outcome, were included in the study. The behavioral and temporal patterns of pre-performance routines were documented across 450 serves. Data analysis was conducted using one-way analysis of variance and Spearman's correlation coefficient tests at a significance level of 0.05, utilizing SPSS version 26 software for statistical processing. The results showed that in general, behavioral routines before performance were observed in all players, but there was a significant difference between behavioral and temporal patterns in players (P≤0.05). The results also showed that there was no significant relationship between temporal and behavioral patterns with performance success (P>0.05). In general, it can be stated that given the lack of relationship between temporal and behavioral patterns with performance success, it is likely that other variables are effective in the success of service skill performance in skilled volleyball players.
