The Volleyball Pal aims to improve humans muscle tone and mental abilities of a
player. So that they are able to play at a higher level for longer periods of time.
Most Volleyball technology that is available for the general public technology is
invented in America due to the US Volleyball Federation.
Personal Microphones
The Pass Rite aims to improve the passing abilities of a player. So that they are
able to better play and lower the chances for a team to lose point due to a bad pass.
This technology is available for the general public and teams alike and was
invented in America thanks to the US Volleyball Federation.
Swatchs Touch Zero One is an activity tracker with lots of nice features for the
sport so the device can track and record the power of a players smash, counts
steps, distance covered, calories burned and connects to a smartphone via
Bluetooth. For the excited audience it can measure the power and number of the
claps. Touch Zero One has a touch display, is waterproof and what sounds pretty
convenient: the battery life shall last up to several months (Swatch will use its own
long-life batteries). The virtual coach helps you to improve your activity level,
performance and to reach your goals. The device will be launched at the Europen
Beach Volleyball Championships in July in Klagenfurt and will be available in
summer for about 140.
The Challenge System
The Challenge System was first used at an FIVB event during the FIVB Volleyball
Club World Championships in 2012. It has been used at flagship FIVB events
since including the World League and World Grand Prix, and the FIVB World
Cup. It was used at a beach volleyball competition for the first time at the 2015
FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Rio de Janeiro Open, which also served as a
test event for the beach volleyball tournament at the 2016 Olympics. 12 high-
resolution Hawk-Eye cameras were also in place at the Swatch FIVB World Tour
Finals in Fort Lauderdale in 2015, marking the systems first appearance at a
Major Series event later in the same year.
With the new system in place, volleyball and beach volleyball teams now have the
right to call video verification for a referees decision twice per set. Coaches (in
volleyball) and players can challenge ball in/out, block touch, net fault, antenna
touch and service foot faults in both volleyball and beach volleyball. Players and
spectators share in the excitement and focus on the analysis on a giant screen as the
challenge is either accepted or refused.
NIKE ZESTI BEACH VOLLEYBALL SOCK
Beach volleyball players have a natural preference for playing barefoot because
going shoeless allows them to move more freely in the sand. When asked if they
would ever wear footwear, the athletes who Nike works with said they would
consider lacing up for conditions that can detract from their focus, like in venues
where the sand is extremely hot, cold, or coarse. The Nike Zesti (Zesti meaning
"Sun" in Greek) beach volleyball sock was created for Beijing to address these
obstacles, utilizing the opportunity to add performance innovations that will also
help players get to the ball faster.
Made from a tightly knit seamless fabric that fits like a protective second skin, the
Nike Zesti is feather-light, breathable and impenetrable to sand. Molded blown
rubber cleats on the outsole provide another layer of protection, while giving
athletes additional traction in deep sand. Thin Bemis weld lateral ribs (the same
used for Nikes No-Sew apparel seams) support the feet and keep the cleats
securely under foot during critical cuts and dives. The sleek silhouette of the Nike
Zesti also serves a second purpose: by upholding performance integrity and
minimalist design, the innovative footwear complements the less-is-more
aesthetic of beach volleyball
Traditionally, hitters could only practice hitting with the assistance from a setter or
coach. What's more, younger athletes often don't fully develop their volleyball
approach until they can clear the net. AcuSpike makes it possible to train without
a setter, and with or without a net, at your convenience.
Since AcuSpike releases every ball, you see the trajectory and power of every hit,
giving you valuable feedback. Nearly all of the energy of each hit is transferred to
the ball, which means that AcuSpike is instantly ready for the next hitter, with no
machine vibration.
AcuSpike ball grippers are made from a thick, high compression foam, with
contoured shapes for improved performance, and covered with ripstop nylon for
maximum durability. The gripper rods are made from durable and flexible
fiberglass, similar to tent poles.
I actually have practiced with an AcuSpike Hitting Machine and not only are they
a lot of fun they are very easy to set up, adjust, and you can practice hitting by
yourself over and over again without having to reload or someone setting a ball to
you.
MIKASA MVA200 BEACH VOLLEYBALL
The Mikasa MVA200 Beach Volleyball is a volleyball designed for the 2008
Beijing Olympics created by Mikasa. The standard 18-panel design of a volleyball
was changed to a "petal" arrangement of just eight panels. This greatly decreased
the amount of seam length and glue required to build a standard volleyball. Glue
was only applied to the edges of each panel essentially capturing air between the
panel and the bladder, the center of a volleyball, and helping the ball feel softer. A
dimpled microfiber surface was added to the exterior to promote a turbulent flow
around the ball. The result is a ball flies straighter and bounces more (3.5 percent)
but actually impacts the arms with less force (5 percent) when compared to the
previous model. Mikasa sent this Volleyball to all of the competing olympic teams
of the 2008 Olympics to be approved and had wonderful results. The Mikasa
MVA200 was used in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but the world of beach
volleyball upgraded to the Mikasa VLS200 for the 2012 Olympics. The VLS200 is
much like the MVA200 just a little more advanced in aerodynamic technology
Kinesiology tape
Healthy skeletal muscles are essential to keeping you moving at your best. A
strained or injured muscle or tendon can make you feel slower or weaker than
normal. If you're an athlete or work in a profession that requires physical labor,
keeping your body free of tension and pain is essential for peak performance.
Today, innovative devices and techniques to help protect and treat your muscles,
tendons and joints have come out of research in kinesiology, the science behind
muscular and skeletal movement.
Athletes, both professional and recreational, have used many methods to treat sore
or injured muscles, from pain pills and topical creams to massage therapy and
acupuncture. Treatments have improved over time as scientists have learned more
about how muscles work. While traditional treatments restricted movement to
injured muscles, today we know that keeping muscles moving and improving
circulation reduce pain and speed healing. That's the science that inspired the father
of kinesiology taping, Japanese chiropractor Dr. Kenzo Kase, to develop a muscle
treatment in 1979 that he named the Kinesio Taping Method. This taping method
gently lifts the layer of skin and attached tissue covering a muscle so
that blood and other body fluids can move more freely in and around that muscle.
