Volleyball is developing as a high-intensity team game, which leads to constant changes in the technical-tactical aspects of the game. The goal of this research is to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in the structure of landings during volleyball matches, on a sample of top men's and women's volleyball teams. For the purpose of analysis, the "models" of the appearance of certain technical-tactical elements with landings were precisely determined. Special attention is paid to landings in the phases of service reception, defense and protection of the scrum after the attack/counterattack. The sample of respondents consists of top senior volleyball players who participated in the World Volleyball Championships played in Poland, the Netherlands and Slovenia in 2022. A total of 30 matches were analyzed, which included a representative group of top volleyball players (15 matches) and volleyball players (15 matches). The matches were selected based on the "match tension" coefficient, according to the instructions of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), which determines how competitive a match was. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the obtained data. The analysis showed differences in two measured variables (Roll to the right side (PD) and Dive (UP)). The roll to the right side (PD) showed a statistically significant difference, probably due to the fact that volleyball players use this technique more when receiving strong jump serves and when defending the court to protect the attack of corrective balls in zone 4. The Dive variable (UP) also showed a statistically significant difference, because volleyball players train this element more, while it is more physically demanding for volleyball players due to the shape of their bodies, and they use some other elements in these situations such as Rolling (ROL), but still sometimes they also make an absorbent but in a significantly smaller amount. Understanding these differences can help for more precise programming of training content adapted to the needs and characteristics of men's and women's volleyball teams. These adjustments can contribute to the improvement of the technical skills and tactical efficiency of the players. Therefore, coaching approaches should be developed with regard to the obtained results in order to maximize effectiveness in training and the game.
