Volleyball-Specific Skills and Cognitive Functions Can Discriminate Players of Different Competitive Levels

Damiano Formenti et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the differences in volleyball-specific skills, physical performance, and cognitive functions between players of different competitive levels. The findings showed that regional players had higher accuracy and technique in serving, passing, spiking, and setting, as well as better change of direction speed and countermovement jump performance compared to provincial players. Regional players also exhibited faster response times in cognitive tasks. Machine learning models were able to accurately predict players' competitive levels using a combination of passing technique, cognitive task performance, and spiking technique.

Relationship between Cognitive Functions and Sport-Specific Physical Performance in Youth Volleyball Players

Athos Trecroci et al.

Summary: This study found a strong positive correlation between basic cognitive functions and sport-specific physical performance in young volleyball players. Additionally, small-to-medium correlations were observed between cognitive and motor skills, with results suggesting that athletes with superior cognitive functions demonstrate better sport-specific physical performance. The findings suggest a need to further explore the associations between cognitive and motor skills within the context of sports performance.
