Acquired data was processed using statistical (ANOVA) and effect size (Cohen's d) significance. Results: Based on substantive significance it can be said that for the y-axis the players only reached values of low effect with their serves. Larger effect of substantive significance, namely d=0.94, was reached by average values among serves which were played into the net or were out on the side. Balls, which were hit by professional at highest average hight of 273.7 cm ended up as long ball out. On the contrary, tosses hit at average distance of 63.7 cm from the baseline ended up in the net.

Motor skills of volleyball and beach volleyball players depending on their anthropometric parameters
Hercogová, Simona ; Pokorný, Ladislav (advisor) ; Přibyl, Ivan (referee)
The thesis "Motor Skills of Volleyball and Beach Volleyball Players Depending on Their Anthropometric Parameters" discusses the distinctions in somatotypes of players of both sports. The thesis aims to define the influence of a somatotype for playing in each position. Furthermore, the thesis compares the differences in motor skills between beach volleyball and volleyball players. Nowadays, professional sports are characterized by growing pressure on athlete's performance. It leads to higher competition which lowers the differences between the individual athletes to minimum. As it gets more difficult for every athlete to be the best, room for science opens up in sport. For this reason, natural conditions of somatotypes and other anthropometric parameters play key roles. The aim of the thesis was to discover the differences in motor skills and somatotypes of beach volleyball and volleyball players. In the research, somatic and motor measurements were applied on players of the same performance categories. Thus, the thesis offers material that beach volleyball and volleyball coaches can later use in practise, for instance while spotting future talents, setting appropriate positions or creating game plans. Key Words Beach Volleyball, Volleyball, Anthropometric Parameters, Motor Skills
