ABSTRACT
This study aimed to identify and analyse the chances to occur of the attack effects carried out from positions 4 and 6, the left-side attackers, in the side-out, according to the reception effect, attack tempo and attack type. It was analyzed 142 games of the 2014-2015 Men’s Superleague, totaling 6185 attacks. The points of attack were predominant by the reception of excellent quality and the powerful attacks. There was difference in the effect of the reception, attack type and attack effect, according to the place of (x2=33,68; p<0,001). Attacks for zone 4 and 6 were characterized by being performed after receptions that allow the organized attack and the power of the attack. The attack place proved to be a differentiator of the attack type carried out, suggesting that the environmental restrictions require the attacker to behave differently according to the place of attack.
