**Abstract**

The finish is an essential element since it is a major action within offensive elements that help the team get points, so it is necessary to analyze each of the phases of this foundation. As such need is to analyze the different angles of movement, speed and center of mass to establish kinematic reference values of the gain shape values that can serve as a reference when the technique of the players so potentiate the driving habit means is analyzed optimizing sports training at all levels. The authors of this study aimed to biomechanically analyze the phases of the auction volleyball in prejuvenile and young players of Pichincha sports concentration. They studied 19 volleyball players from the Pichincha sports concentration under non-probability purposive sampling, with 11 athletes from the prejuvenile team and 8 youth team athletes. Kinovea to measure software (experimental version) was used and the U test was used Mann-Whitney SPSS d e13 digital camera megapixels, measuring tape and HP computer with Intel Core i5 processor. In the approach phase, there was no significant difference in regard to the column angle (p = 0.457). In whipped phase, no significant difference in column angle (p = 0.283). In the preparation phase for beating on the angle of the elbow, there is no significant difference (p = 0.83). In the striking phase at the angle of the elbow if there is significant difference (p = 0.002). In the decay phase in the column angle no significant difference (p = 0.83). This was established with the Mann-Whitney U test. Column angles do not significantly influence the auction technique. However, the influence of angles of the elbow was observed, for better elbow flexion and hand placement can generate a greater impact on the ball and therefore greater difficulty in opposing defense.

#### **1. Introduction**

The remante is a technical gesture of great importance in volleyball and is also the most important offensive element (attack) consisting of two previous actions before sending the ball: these are terminal and continuity within terminals we serve, block and remante [1]. This technique is one of the most decisive factors in

athletic performance. In volleyball, it can produce more than 100 shots during a game by one player; so, the difficulty lies in combining skills with previous career jump and hit. Therefore, the auction should have a refined technique that allows executing proper moves to achieve economy and rationality of the effort [2]. One of the factors that stand out performance in volleyball is the force as it contributes to the physical appearance and efficiency of the game [3]. The effectiveness of the auction to determine success of the attack and the possibility of achieving several points suggests authors that 60% of the points are obtained through the auction where the core has a 78.8% efficiency pins 83.3%, opposite 75.7% and finally the offensive 62.9% effective in total offensive actions [4]. Within a party hop count it is 1802 of this amount 35% are breaks the remante [5].

The effectiveness of the technique in biomechanical terms is given to achieve the greatest possible height of the center of gravity in the boost phase, and hit the ball at the highest point maximum printing speed and accuracy at the time of the beating [6].

The auction requires explosive strength, speed, and accuracy [7]. This technical element involves special features because it is done without a base of support such that parts of the lower body are completely suspended in the air to hit the ball; therefore, the center of gravity tends to change and it should be emphasized that 100% of the time it takes the shot exists opposition adversary (lock) [8] therefore jump over the network and project the ball as much force does not guarantee you get points because factors such as skill, coordination and precision hand oculus also complement the movement. From the point of view of biomechanical studies, analysis of the auction aims to provide relevant information about the kinematic and kinetic results of the implementation of the technical element (auction) and thus to establish movement patterns whose aspects are expressed to be corrected during the learning stages of the auction and the correlation they have with the ideal models, that is more experienced players to correct finally identifies movements that can be the cause of injury during sports [9].

Moreover, the auction consists of two parts: the jump and hit, where the jump aims to achieve the maximum height of the center of gravity because it allows exceed block the opponent and finally the goal of beating is to get as much strength, speed, and accuracy in order to reduce the response time of the opponent [10]. In the phase of the jump one can see that the body tends to bend forward at the waist [11]. Applying biomechanical laws to this movement, we can say that he achievement not hit the ball with maximum force because the existence hip flexion biokinetic chain does not activate all levers, and according to Newton's second law the acceleration acquired by a body is proportional to the force applied to it; that is, in the auction the player, he must stay with his motionless body during impact [11].

The auction is divided into five phases: 1st approach stroke, Whipped 2nd, 3rd Preparation of beating, 4th and 5th Fall beating. The first two phases aim to achieve the maximum height of the center of gravity through the jump in the following two phases, which seek to achieve the right ball speed, strength, and direction; finally, the last phase seeks to cushion the body segments after the jump [10] (**Figure 1**).

During the advance stroke the player reaches between 50 and 60% of its maximum speed [13] since its goal is to produce the greatest amount of movement to the beating or biomechanical terms generate the horizontal movement needed to transform it into vertical movement (jump) plus a career boost generates effective 20% more height on the jump, this is the performs diagonally to the grid because in zone IV oblique race 45 is described to 60° while in zone II the path is straight with an angle of 60–90° because the player must finish off the network [8]. Travel speed and the number of steps required to reach the ball will depend on anthropometric

At this stage, the final step becomes the most important and, therefore, should be broader and faster, allowing slow down of the other foot to generate a parallel supporting foot (heel, sole, and toe), culminating in the knee flexion; the time taken for this is approximately 0.17–0.19 and most commonly used muscles in motion are: quadriceps, buttocks, adductor, biceps femoris, twins, hamstrings, and erectors of the

It must be taken into consideration that during this phase, the body weight is transferred to the heels, then to the soles of the feet, and ends at the tips that accompany rapid and strong arm movements, ending in the explosive spread of the train generating lower takeoff [14]. During beaten two periods where there support and a subsequent double support because these let you apply as much force to raise the center of gravity, require the coordination of arms to produce more vertical speed and increase power occurs the jump which will allow to have a height greater flight and elevation to the time of the beating [1]. This technical element depends on the skill of the player as well as physical aspects such as the explosive force of the lower body, neuromuscular coordination, and genetic traits like height; however, the generate an optimum amount of vertical speed (feed

"The angle of the (right) foot forward corresponds on average to 137 degrees while the left leg angle of 162 degrees. That is, while the member that one time one-two is placed in a moderate bending, two time member is placed in greater flexion" [15] (**Figure 3**).

Preparation for beating is the phase in which the feet lose contact with the ground and the shoulder hitting the ball reaches its maximum height [16]. In this phase, the players are airborne and must perform movements that allow generation of the maximum speed of the ball striking the hand, where three phases are involved: preparation, assembly, and acceleration. During preparation, the feet leave the ground and shoulder internal rotation occurs; in the stage of assembly of the shoulder, external rotation starts and ends at the start of the internal rotation as the arm strikes; finally the acceleration is the phase in which the internal rotation of the shoulder ends with the contact of the ball, which will have the speed with which it was impacted and this is around 69.2 km/h—it should be emphasized that this is not the maximum speed of the auction but the speed with which the ball arrives at impact [17] the hand does not hit the ball follows the trajectory of the arm forward and up, at the same time the elbow of the arm that performs the beating describes the same path hand accompanied by the elevation of the head and bending the movements legs causing a bow. As for the speed with which the hand hits the ball, it depends 46% extension in 20.5% of the rotation of the shoulder, 14.5% of the performance of the trunk rotation, by 7, 5% forward displacement of the center of gravity during the jump, 5.5% of wrist flexion and 6% remaining dependent on other factors [8] (**Figure 4**).

A the ends movements acceleration phase product elbow extension which ends the movement of the arm describes the path following occurs: forward and downward, further movement compensation of the where the most important undercarriage are performed: extension knee and rotation of the trunk [8]. In this phase, the shoulder should reach the maximum height until the hand contacting with the ball is at its highest point [16]; the steps involved in the kinetic chain are: hip rotation around the vertical axis, displacement and rotation of the trunk, flexion and rotation of the shoulder, elbow extension and

From the point of view of biomechanics, the remante to the reach the stage meets scrimmage with two goals: the first is to reach the maximum height, which is a function of the anatomical and physical capabilities of each player. The second is to reach full speed and this will depend on the position of the hand when it hits the ball.

The phase of the drop starts when the hand hits the ball descend in front of the body and due to gravity the player descends into contact with the ground, which takes a cushioning movement through knee flexion [19]. The support for body is through both legs (damping) involving joint ankle, knee, and hip in the order of the parts of the body in contact with the ground to end the balance fall through pendulous movements made by the opposite arm, which carries the blow [18].

Also, the fall must be performed with two supports (2 ft) to divide the force of the impact (9.8 m/s by body weight); the muscles involved in the movement are: soleus, twins, hamstrings, erector spinae, rectus abdominis, dorsal, deltoids, biceps, and triceps [8] (**Figure 6**).

Biomechanics is the study of the application of laws and mechanical foundations of biology, especially structures of the musculoskeletal system and muscle activity; it also examines the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects they produce [20]. To make qualitative or quantitative analysis, one should consider three aspects: movement control, the structure of the body moving, and strength are already external and internal [21]. Finally biomechanics can establish the principles of training patterns of movement, to achieve the optimal technique taking as a starting point variability bilógicos systems (changes in athletes as the age maturation of the neuronal system, bone growth, evolution physical capabilities) and thus establish ranges that determine the level and stability domain of a technical model [22]. Furthermore, kinematics is the spatially detailed study of the movement of bodies, based on the displacements, whose velocities, accelerations, and forces cause the movements that are present in said displacements [23]. The locomotor allows kinematic analysis of the body through capturing movement then deducing equations. In addition, the musculoskeletal system is analyzed and as delivery this force to accelerate and decelerate the limbs to generate movement [24]. The biocinemática chain is successively joining a number of pairs biocinemáticos, whether open or closed [25]. From the point of view of engineering, it is a closed system in which every movement has a relationship; therefore, it ensures that all forces are transmitted positively and by default. Meanwhile, in a living organism, it is an open system where its dimension is determined by the linear distance from a hinge axis to another; it comprises muscle mass, bone structure, and the type of joint [26]. A biokinetic pair involves two bone members moving together where the chances of the movement depend on the structure of the union and the influence of muscles [25], while an open kinetic chain comprises of movements where the distal segment (hands or feet) moves freely in space with the body staying at a fixed point [27].

While the angle of movement is a way of providing a position; while the angle change is a distance covered by an angular movement from the point of view of Fisca activity is considered to angular movements made by a segment of the body relative to the hinge that is performed [28]. Finally, the center of gravity of a rigid body is the point of equilibrium, so that all the forces acting on the body are balanced, that is, their sum is equal to 0. For a flexible body, the body's center of gravity changes depending on the form of the body. For a person who is standing, it is located right at the level of the second sacral vertebra on a vertical line that touches the ground about 3 centimeters ahead of the ankle joint.
