Objective of the study was to make a competitive performance analysis of the men’s versus women’s volleyball. For the gender-specific competitive performance analysis, the authors applied the competitive records of the commercial tournaments held by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), World League of men’s teams and Grand Prix of the women’s teams in the period of 2014 through 2016. Subject to the analysis was a wide range of technical aspects including the average rally (net of the fake passes and fake attacks). The study data and analyses showed a clear trend of the women’s volleyball game evolution towards the technical levels achieved by the modern men’s volleyball. However, the gender-specific study data showed differences in the shares of aces on the jump serves, fake passes and average ball touches per rally – that are still higher than in the men’s volleyball on average.

Keywords: volleyball, competitive performance, development trends, volleyball rules, comparative analysis, women’s volleyball, men’s volleyball.
