Resumo
Background: The spike is a key action in volleyball, and the landing technique and its
asymmetries are commonly associated with an increased risk of injury. Objectives: The aim of this
systematic review was to assess how male and female volleyball players land (i.e., unilaterally, or
bilaterally) after spike jumps in matches and analytical settings (field or laboratory). Methods: The
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines were followed,
with eligibility criteria defined according to participants, interventions, comparators, study design
(PICOS): (p) healthy indoor volleyball players of any sex, age group, or competitive level; (i) exposure
to landing after spike actions during official matches AND/OR simulated 6 vs. 6 games AND/OR
analytical training conditions AND/OR laboratorial experiments; (c) not mandatory; (o) data on
landing mechanics after spike actions, including reporting of whether the landing was unilateral or
bilateral; (s) no restrictions imposed on study design. Searches were performed in seven electronic
databases (Cochrane Library, EBSCO, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science) on
23 April 2021. Results: Automated searches provided 420 results. Removal of 119 duplicates resulted
in 301 records being screened for titles and abstracts. A total of 25 studies were eligible for full-text
analysis. Of these, eight studies were deemed eligible for inclusion in the review. Studies showed
that (i) attackers landed asymmetrically 68% of the times (61% left leg, 7% right leg); (ii) bilateral
asymmetries were observed for the hip, knee, and ankle joints; (iii) bilateral asymmetries were observed even when players were instructed to land evenly on two feet; (iv) landing contact of the
leg opposite to the hitting arm preceded the contact of the homolateral leg. One match analysis
study showed that men landed more often on the left (31.5%) or right foot (8.5%) than women (23.7%
and 1.6%). Conclusions: Studies analyzing spike landing showed a prevalence of unilateral landings
(mostly the left leg first, for right-handed players) in men and women but more prevalently in men.
