Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the reception zone and the spiking performance in each of the game rotations in top level men's volleyball teams. The sample consisted of 29 men's matches of final phases in Olympic Games, World League and World Cup between 2012 and 2016, obtaining a sample of 3,689 spikes in the K1 phase. The variables analyzed were: the rotation of the reception team, the reception area and the spike performance. Ordinal regression models were used to determine the influence of the receiving zone and the interaction of rotation on spike performance. The results show significant interaction between the rotation and the reception area on spike performance (X 46 = 127.885; p <.001; r2 = .036), which allow us to understand the greater or lesser probability of achieving a better spike performance in some of the rotations. In conclusion, the performance of the spike varies depending on the interaction of the rotation of the team and the reception area, but this relation in global level, only explain 3.6% of the variance of the spike. The analysis of the situations in which significance has been found could be associated with strategic decisions in the execution of the serve and the training of the K1.

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Retos. Nuevas Tendencias En Educación Física, Deporte Y Recreación due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Scopus (SJR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2023, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q2 (Segundo Cuartil), in the category Education. Notably, the journal is positioned en el Cuartil Q3 for the agency WoS (JCR) in the category Hospitality, Leisure, Sport & Tourism.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from World Citations provided by WoS (ESI, Clarivate), it yields a value for the citation normalization relative to the expected citation rate of: 1.32. This indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: ESI Nov 13, 2025)

This information is reinforced by other indicators of the same type, which, although dynamic over time and dependent on the set of average global citations at the time of their calculation, consistently position the work at some point among the top 50% most cited in its field:

  • Weighted Average of Normalized Impact by the Scopus agency: 2.22 (source consulted: FECYT Mar 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-12-21, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 5
  • Scopus: 8

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-21:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 31 (PlumX).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
