Objective: the primary objective of this study was to perform the cross-cultural adaptation and the preliminary validation of the Volleyball Techniques and Effectiveness Observation Instrument (TEVOL) specifically for the Brazilian context.
Methodology: a total of twenty-three specialists participated in four distinct stages: formal translation, content analysis, a pilot study, and the verification of intra- and inter-rater reliability.
Results: statistical analyses performed using SPSS® and Jamovi® software indicated high content validity (CVCc = .94), strong intra-rater reliability (r = .89–1.00), and strong inter-rater reliability (r = .63–.96; ICC ≥ .79).
Discussion: these comprehensive results demonstrate inter-rater consistency and stability in measurements. It is concluded that the TEVOL instrument presents solid preliminary evidence of validity and reliability for technical-tactical analysis, contributing to the standardization of assessments and the advancement of research on athletic performance.
Conclusions: furthermore, it supports its application in academic and professional contexts of contemporary Brazilian volleyball, with rigorous methodological criteria that can be replicated in future empirical research.
