Teams that were placed from the 1st to the 4th place on the championship are in the group of better placed teams, and the teams placed from the 5th to the 8th place belong to the group of worse placed teams. Statistically important differences between the two groups of women volleyball players determined according to the level of significance p<0.05 are obtained in Rotation 3 in the phase of the game in block (BLOCK), in Rotation 4 in the phase of spike after the defence (SPCATT), and in Rotation 5 in the phase of serve reception (RECEP).
