ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PERFORMING THE SECOND TOUCH USING DECEPTIVE MOVEMENTS BY HIGHLY QUALIFIED BEACH VOLLEYBALL ATHLETES

The purpose of the study is to enhance the scientific understanding of the issue of improving the effectiveness of attacking actions of highly qualified beach volleyball athletes through the use of deceptive movements during the second touch.
Research methods and organization: analysis and summarization of specialized scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation; method of statistical processing of research results. A pedagogical observation was conducted with an analysis of the competitive activities of highly qualified beach volleyball athletes from the Swedish national team (David Ahman, Jonatan Hellvig). Data were collected using the Data Volley program and entered into specially formulated protocols, containing designations for each touch of the ball during the match.
Research results and conclusions. The high effectiveness of attacking actions with the second touch indicates that the players possess a high level of technical skill in executing this element and skillfully utilize deceptive movements. Deceptive movements when performing the second touch are an integral part of the Swedish team's game strategy. The high effectiveness of applying deceptive movements indicates a good level of mastery of this technical element and an optimal choice of moments for its application, which ultimately leads to disorganization in the defensive actions of the opposing team’s players.
