Technique, Tactics and Methodology of Blocking in Volleyball : Undergraduate Thesis

Blok je element odbojkaške igre koji predstavlja tehničko taktički element obrane, ali ujedno predstavlja i prvi element napada, kojim se osvaja poen. Blok je složen tehničko taktički element, ne samo zbog reakcije na akcije protivnika, već i zbog svojih raznovrsnih kretnji, skokova i predviđanja gdje će lopta biti usmjerena za protivnički napad. Blok se dijeli po broju igrača koji sudjeluju u njemu (pojedinačni, dvojni i trojni blok), po načinu blokiranja, po položaju dlanova na mreži (pasivni i aktivni blok) te po načinu zaustavljanja protivničkog napada zonski (zatvara određenu zonu obrane) i pokretni (zatvara se smjer protivničkog napada).Block is an element in the volleyball game which represents a technical and tactical defence element, but also represents the first hit element to score a point. Block as the technical and tactical element is very complex, not only for reaction to opponent's action, but also for its various movements, jumps and predictions where the ball will be directed to for the opponent's attack. Block is divided based on the number of players participating in its performance (single, double and triple block), on the way of blocking, on the position of palms on the net (passive and active block), and based on the way the opponent’s attack is blocked, which can be a zone block (it closes a specific defence zone) and movable block (closes direction of the opponent’s attack)
