RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi relacionar a auto avaliação do saque, efetividade e eficácia deste fundamento. Participaram do estudo duas equipes femininas de voleibol da categoria infantil, com média de idade 14,63 ± 0,5 anos e tempo de prática 4,92 ± 1,87 anos. Aplicou-se a Escala de Auto avaliação do Saque no Voleibol e realizado escalte técnico do saque. Os resultados apontaram diferenças na efetividade da Equipe "A" (37,26 ± 19,38) e Equipe "B" (53,89 ± 14,18) (p=0,02) e eficácia da Equipe "A" (91,50 ± 5,51) e Equipe "B" (96,21 ± 4,46) (p=0,02). Na auto avaliação houve diferença entre a Equipe "A" 45,20 ± 5,11 e a Equipe "B" 41,78 ± 3,19 (p=0,05). Houve correlação moderada (r= 0,65 p=0,00) entre a auto avaliação e o tempo de prática de ambas as equipes. Conclui-se que a equipe que conquistou a melhor colocação foi a que se apresentou mais efetiva e eficaz na execução do saque.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between self-assessment of volleyball serves and the effectiveness and efficacy of this skill. Two female volleyball teams of the infant category, with a mean age of 14.63 ± 0.5 years and a playing experience of 4.92 ± 1.87 years, participated in the study. A Volleyball Serve-Specific Self-Assessment Scale was applied and technical scout of the serve was performed. The results showed differences in effectiveness between team A (37.26 ± 19.38) and team B (53.89 ± 14.18) (p = 0.02) and in efficacy between team A (91 50 ± 5.51) and team B (96.21 ± 4.46) (p = 0.02). There was also a difference in self-assessment between team A (45.20 ± 5.11) and team B (41.78 ± 3.19) (p = 0.05). A moderate correlation (r = 0.65, p = 0.00) was observed between self-assessment and years of practice in both teams. In conclusion, the team that won first place was more effective and efficacious in executing the serve.
