If you've ever watched a volleyball match, whether it's a school tournament, local league, or international competition, you've probably noticed one player wearing a completely different colored jersey from the rest of the team. While everyone else might be wearing blue, black, or red, this player stands out in yellow, white, or even bright pink.

如果你曾經睇過排球比賽，無論係學界、聯賽，甚至國際賽事，你都可能留意到場上總有一位球員著住同其他隊友完全唔同顏色嘅球衣。 有時係全隊著藍色，而佢著黃色；有時全隊著黑色，而佢著白色。 呢位球員，就係排球入面非常重要嘅位置——自由人（Libero）。 但點解偏偏只有佢需要著唔同顏色球衣？背後其實同排球規則有直接關係。 咩係自由人（Libero）？ 自由人係排球入面專門負責後排防守嘅球員。 呢個位置最早喺 1998 年由國際排聯（FIVB）正式引入，目的係提升比賽節奏，令防守回合更加精彩。 自由人主要負責： 接發球 防守救球 組織後排進攻 提升球隊穩定性 由於自由人專注防守，所以規則上亦有部分限制。 例如： 唔可以攔網 唔可以嘗試攔網 唔可以喺高於網口位置完成攻擊 唔可以擔任隊長（部分賽事已逐步放寬） 正因為佢擁有特殊身份，所以裁判必須能夠快速識別佢。 點解自由人一定要著唔同顏色？ 答案其實非常簡單： 方便裁判辨認。 排球比賽節奏非常快。 一個回合入面可能出現： 接發球 防守 二傳 快攻 攔網 短短幾秒鐘就完成。 如果自由人同其他隊員著同一款球衣，裁判會好難即時判斷佢有冇違反規則。...

The Psychology of Sports Apparel Researchers have introduced a concept called "enclothed cognition." This...
