The Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) back injury prevention program (IPP) is an evidence-based injury prevention exercise designed to prevent back pain and other related injuries. The aim of this study was to assess the implementation of the OSTRC Back IPP among professional basketball, handball, soccer, and volleyball players in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The survey was developed by the study authors and it consisted of two sections: the socio-demographic and questionnaire assess the implementation of OSTRC Back IPP. A total of 360 athletes responded to the survey (response rate was 93.75%). The mean (±SD) of the total implementation score was 6.6 (±1.8) out of 13. Jumping lunges exercise was the highest implemented exercise, making up 56.1% of the participated players, followed by the side plank and jump turns 53.3% and 53.1%, respectively. In contrast, the lowest implemented exercise was the rotational strength exercise which accounts for 46.4%. There were no statistically significant differences between the GCC countries in the implementation of all exercises except for the side lunges exercise. The rate of implementation of the OSTRC Back IPP among players was low in the GCC countries.

The purpose of this study was to analyse netball and volleyball players for differences in physical performance parameters among female university players. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight female participants (14 netball + 14 volleyball players) participated in this study voluntarily. Any player with lower extremity musculoskeletal injury or a record since the last three months was excluded from the study. The average age of players was 19.54±0.69 years, body weight 52.99±10.51 kg., height 156.71±5.34 cm., and body mass index 21.57±4.09. Anthropometrical characteristics were measured with the help of a bioelectrical impedance analyser, while physical performance parameters (Muscular endurance, lower extremity power, dynamic stability, agility, speed) were determined by the numerous functional tests. Results: No statistically significant differences were found in physical performance parameters except agility (p=.041) and speed (p=.015) variables between netball and volleyball university female students. A significant positive relationship was also found in some of the physical performance parameters irrespective of the sports. Conclusion: The study's findings show that physical performance parameters do not differ significantly in female netball and volleyball players. Team coaches and physiologists must consider functional test outcomes while preparing players for competition. The individual training program should also be established on test outcomes, which is more likely to improve performance.

This study examines young volleyball players' learning of increasingly complex attack gestures. The main purpose of the study was to examine the predictive role of a cognitive variable, working memory capacity (or ''M capacity"), in the acquisition and development of motor skills in a structured sport. Pascual-Leone's theory of constructive operators (TCO) was used as a framework; it defines working memory capacity as the maximum number of schemes that can be simultaneously activated by attentional resources. The role of expertise in motor learning was also considered. The expertise of each athlete was assessed in terms of years of practice and number of training sessions per week. The participants were 120 volleyball players, aged between 6 and 26 years, who performed both working memory tests and practical tests of volleyball involving the execution of the ''third touch" by means of technical gestures of varying difficulty. We proposed a task analysis of these different gestures framed within the TCO. The results pointed to a very clear dissociation. On the one hand, M capacity was the best predictor of correct motor performance, and a specific capacity threshold was found for learning each attack gesture. On the other hand, experience was the key for the precision of the athletic gestures. This evidence could underline the existence of two different cognitive mechanisms in motor learning. The first one, https://doi.

The present study was investigate on 12 weeks physical exercise training program on resting pulse rate and resting respiratory rate between volleyball players. These subjects were selected randomly from Gsbv, Nilothi between the age ranges of 15-18 years Boys. The chosen players were randomly divided into two groups, Experimental group (N=10) and Control group (N=10). The physical exercise training program was designed for experimental group 1 hour, i.e., 4.30 to 5.30 PM. Five days in week (Monday to Friday). The control group was continuing followed their daily routine practice. The selected physiological variables for the study were resting pulse rate and resting respiratory rate. The mean difference was checked between pretest and posttest of volleyball players. Student paired 't' test was used and the level of significance was set ≤ 0.05 the data was analyzed with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study revealed that experimental group shows significant improvement on resting plus rate and resting respiratory rate. Significant differences were found with pre-test and post-test results with respect to resting pulse rate and resting respiratory rate after the 12 weeks physical exercise program. However, no significant change was found in case of control group on resting pulse rate and resting respiratory rate. Therefore, this physical exercise training program should be developing resting pulse rate, and resting respiratory rate between volleyball players.

The objective of this study was to examine the association between physical and anthropometric profiles and vertical jump performance in elite volleyball players. Thirty-three elite male volleyball players (21±1 y, 76.9±5.2 kg, 186.5±5 cm) were studied. Several anthropometric measurements (body mass, stature, body mass index, lower limb length and sitting height) together with jumping height anaerobic power of counter movement jump with arm swing (CMJarm) were obtained from all subjects. Forward stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine if any of the anthropometric parameters were predictive of CMJarm. Anaerobic power was significantly higher (P≤0.05) in the tallest players relative to their shorter counterparts. A significant relationship was observed between CMJarm and lower limb length (r2=0.69; P<0.001) and between the lower limb length and anaerobic power obtained with CMJarm (r2=0.57; P<0.01). While significantly correlated (P≤0.05) with CMJ...

Sir George Williams had a profound impact on the youth and business people of the 19th century.  Out of this renewal movement was birthed the YMCA movement which has reached around the globe.  This article explores the faith and values that shaped this world-changer.

Objective: To achieve the excellent levels of athletic performance, professional athletes need to do continuous exercises and strengthen special muscles of the body and have to spend a lot of time training in that sport. As a result, depending on the prevailing condition of each sport, the physical orientation and the degree of abnormalities of the athletes in that sport are affected. Methods: The current study is descriptive and cross-sectional. The statistical population was 12-14 years old boys in middle and high school. The statistical sample of this study included 30 people (13 volleyball players and 17 basketball players) with a targeted training rate of at least three sessions per week. The Chippaux Smirak Index (CSI) method was used to evaluate the arch of the foot and to determine the angles and degrees of kyphosis and lordosis in radiographs. Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used to compare the variables of motor skills and posture by SPSS V. 18 at a significa...

A set of 18 test for assessing anthropometric characteristics and 12 tests for assessing motor abilities was used on a sample of 183 young female volleyball players (average age of 13.11 +/- 1.07 years). The main goal of this research was to determine the latent structure of biomotor status, as well as relations of that status to situational efficiency in female volleyball players. Situational efficiency of young volleyball players was assessed on a five-point Likert scale, in relation to each individual player's contribution to the performance of her team, and with regard to the result of that team achieved in the competition. By factor analysis, 3 anthropometric ("endo-mesomorphy", "longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton" and "transverse dimensionality of the skeleton") and 4 motor factors ("explosive power of legs and agility", "precision", "explosive power of arms and flexibility" and "balance") were ...

The precise influence of serve type and serve ball speed on beach volleyball performance is unclear. We examined the relationship between serve type and speed and their effectiveness during the 2008 Men's and Women's Open World Tour Tournament. Three hundred and seventy-eight and 375 serves performed by men and women respectively from the main draw tournament were analysed. Serve speed was recorded using a radar gun. Two expert observers recorded serve speed, serve mode, serve effectiveness and rally outcome. There was no relationship between serve speed and its effectiveness for men (r = -0.047, P > 0.05) and for women (r = -0.048, P > 0.05). However, there was a relationship between serve ball speed and its effectiveness both for men and women, when speed was categorised into three groups. There was a better balance between negative and positive outcomes at medium speeds for men and at low and high speeds for women. There was a relationship between ranking and serve ball speed only for women and between ranking and type of serve for both genders. There was no relationship between rally outcome and serve effectiveness. The combination of high ball speed and jump serve is characteristic of high ranking women but not of men.

The maximal jumping height can be considered as a determining factor of spike as well as overall game performance. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a mobile device based on inertial sensors as an alternative for in-field diagnostics. 23 female and male volleyball players performed 106 spikes with an IMU fixed at each ankle. An OptojumpNext system (OJ) served as reference. Interclass correlation analysis computed a coefficient of r=.995. Bland-Altman-plot showed 95% limits of agreement between 2.9cm and -1,2cm. Hence, the mobile IMU device determines jumping height in real competition conditions with an accuracy of approximately ±2cm. We consider this as acceptable for application in volleyball training, e.g., but further effort is necessary to optimize the detection algorithms to achieve higher accuracy.

Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William J. Morgan. In the Philippines around the year 1916, the set and spike offensive attack was first introduced to the country. Volleyball became recognized as an Olympic sport in 1964 and started to become very popular around the world in the 80’s and early 90’s. Since then, the volleyball spike has been a central element of the game.

Objective The aim of this study was the comparison of the functional stability of dominant and non-dominant
shoulder in female volleyball players with and without anterior shoulder instability, using YBT-UQ.
Materials & Methods In this descriptive study, 28 female university volleyball players (age=20 to 25 years)
were categorized into healthy (n=14) and anterior shoulder instability (n=14) group. Upper quarter y
balance test (YBT-UQ) was used for measuring functional stability of both dominant and non-dominant
shoulder. After checking the normal distribution of the results with 1-s Kolmogorov-Smirnov, paired
sample t-test and independent sample t-test were used for comparing the dominant and non-dominant
shoulder’s functional stability and for comparing the results between groups, respectively.
Results Higher YBT-UQ composite score was observed in non-dominant shoulder and dominant shoulder
of the healthy group and the non-dominant shoulder and dominant (injured) shoulder of shoulder instability
group, respectively. No significant difference was observed between functional stability of both
shoulders of the healthy group (P=0.144), while the functional stability of the non-dominant shoulders
of the instability group was significantly higher than the dominant unstable shoulders (P=0.001). The
results of functional stability of the unstable shoulders of the injured group were significantly lower than
the results of the dominant shoulders of the healthy group, while in non-dominant side, all directions but
the Superolateral direction showed significant difference.
Conclusion Based on the results of this study, functional stability of the unstable shoulder of female university
volleyball players is lower than the functional stability of their non-dominant side or the functional
stability of the healthy subjects; Therefore, we suggest that the upper extremity stabilization exercises,
specially the closed kinetic chain exercises should be added to the shoulder rehabilitation programs.

Los orígenes del voleibol en España en el contexto escolar, militar y civil (1920-1938) Resumen En España el voleibol es uno de los deportes cuyos orígenes ha sido menos estudiado. Este artículo aporta datos inéditos sobre los antecedentes del voleibol en España durante el período de 1920 a 1938, en el contexto escolar, militar y civil. El objeto de estudio se centra en averiguar el porqué su práctica no fue aceptada, así como sucedió en otros deportes colectivos. Una metodología sustentada en el análisis documental de fuentes primarias descubre que el voleibol fue un deporte considerado poco viril, es decir, no alcanzaba el ideal de endurecimiento que mos-traban otros deportes, en los que el combate directo (cuerpo a cuerpo) con el adversario proporcionaba mayores rasgos de masculinización, con lo cual no satisfacía los intereses regeneracionistas del momento. Palabras clave: historia del deporte; voleibol; deporte militar; juegos deportivos; educación física; masculinidad.

Abstract Volleyball is one of the least studied team sports in Spain, in terms of its origins. This article provides new data on the beginnings of volleyball in Spain in the period 1920 to 1938, in the context of school, military and civil. The object of study consists of determining why this sport did not gain the same acceptance as other team sports. The use of a methodology based on primary source document analysis reveals that volleyball was regarded as an un-manly sport, in the sense that it did not attain the ideal of toughness-building that other sports provided, in which direct, close-quarter combat with opponents was seen to lend greater masculinity. For this reason it did not meet the regenerationist demands of the times.

The purpose of this article was to review a series of studies (n = 31) on physical characteristics, physiological attributes, and volleyball skills of female and male adolescent volleyball players. Among the main findings were (a) that male national players were taller and ...

Nivel de potencia mecánica en extremidades inferiores ¿se relaciona con la máxima velocidad del balón después del remate en Voleibol? Resumen La aplicación de altos niveles de potencia mecánica en el deporte representa una ventaja sobre el rival, especialmente en el Voleibol, donde las acciones fundamentales dependen del rendimiento alcanzado en los saltos, que además constituyen una de las acciones utilizadas para evaluar el rendimiento de los deportistas. Sin embargo, no se ha encontrado evidencia bibliográfica del estudio sobre la relación de la potencia mecánica en miembros inferiores y la máxima velocidad del balón después del remate en el voleibol. El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la relación entre la potencia mecánica alcanzada en las extremidades inferiores y la máxima velocidad del balón después del remate en el voleibol. Se evaluaron 26 voleibolistas de ambos sexos, 12 masculinos (17,6 ± 1,3 años; 181,6±6,1 cm; 67,3 ± 9,7 kg) y 14 femeninos (16,5±1,5 años; 166,1 ± 6,4 cm; 59,7 ± 6,7 kg) durante el periodo competitivo y etapa precompetitiva. Se usó una alfombra de contacto para estimar la altura de los saltos Squat Jump (SJ), Counter Movement Jump (CMJ), Abalakov (ABK) y salto durante el remate, donde simultáneamente se midió la Velocidad Máxima del Balón (VMB) con un radar Doopler. Se calcularon los valores promedio, desviación estándar, máximos y mínimo para las variables. En ambos sexos se observó que la potencia mecánica del salto del peor remate (SPR) es mayor que la del mejor remate (SMR), y ambos son superiores que ABK, CMJ y SJ. Al aplicar la t de student para datos independientes entre los pares de variables, no se hallaron diferencias (p>0,05) entre el Salto con el Peor Remate (SpR) y Salto con el Mejor Remate (SMR) para ambos sexos, mientras para el resto de variables de saltos pareadas se rechaza la hipótesis de igualdad en las medias (p<0,05) en ambos sexos. Se concluye que para el grupo en estudio la velocidad del balón después del remate además de estar condicionada por factores coordinativos asociados a la secuencia del salto, existe evidencia de estar relacionada con la potencia absoluta producida durante los saltos y con el aprovechamiento de la energía elástica.

Context: Volleyball players are reported to have shoulder strength imbalances. Previous authors have primarily investigated small samples of male players at a single skill level, without considering playing position, and with inconsistent findings. Objective: To evaluate shoulder strength asymmetry and a history of shoulder injury in a large sample of professional volleyball players of both sexes across different playing positions and skill levels. Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Patients or Other Participants: A sample of 183 volleyball players (99 men, 84 women). Main Outcome Measure(s): We assessed shoulder internal-rotator and external-rotator concentric strength at 60°/s using an isokinetic dynamometer and dominant-nondominant differences in shoulder strength and strength ratios using repeated-measures analyses of variance. Peak torque was normalized for body mass and external-rotation/internal-rotation concentric strength. Results: Internal-rotation strength was asymmetr...

The aim of the present study was to examine the variation in core stability and symmetry of youth female volleyball players by age, and its relationship with anthropometric characteristics, the 30 s Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT), and the 30 s Bosco test. Female volleyball players (n = 24, age 13.9 ± 1.9 years, mean ± standard deviation) performed a series of anthropometric, core stability tests (isometric muscle endurance of torso flexors, extensors, and right and left lateral bridge), WAnT (peak power, mean power, Pmean, and fatigue index, FI) and Bosco test (Pmean). Flexors-to-extensors ratio and right-to-left lateral bridge ratio were also calculated. Participants were grouped into younger (n = 12, 12.3 ± 1.2 years) or older than 14 years (n = 12, 15.4 ± 1.0 years), and into normal (flexors-to-extensors ratio &lt; 1; n = 17) or abnormal flexors-to-extensors ratio (≥1; n = 7). The older age group was heavier (+11.3 kg, mean difference; 95% CI, 2.0, 20.6) and with higher body mass ...

This study aimed to test the application of the volleyball information system (VIS) based performance appraisal model to assess the performance of volleyball athletes. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with interrupted times-series design. Participants in the study were 12 volleyball athletes who were trained at one of the volleyball clubs in Bandung, Indonesia, aged 15-17. The instrument used in this research was the observation format developed from the VIS FIVB 2005 which measured six skills to play volleyball, namely serve, receive, set, spike, block, and dig. All data from the measurement results of the VIS assessment model were analysed using the one-way analysis technique of variance in the overtime measurement (repeated measures ANOVA). The results of the study proved that the VIS-based performance assessment model has a significant impact on improving the basic skills of playing volleyball. The result of analysis concludes that the implementation of the VIS-based performance assessment instrument model can be used in the volleyball training process and contributes to improving the basic skills of volleyball performance.

The purpose of this paper is to design an effective plan of instruction for spiking volleyball. This will include background, abilities, and experiences of learners; the underlying mechanisms of human performance; the learning goal and target context; and the principles or practice organization, structure and feedback. This will guide a practitioner a clear set of directions that I will be teaching using different methods and concepts. This model provides a working strategy you can use for just about any instructional setting and it illustrates how the task of spiking might be accomplished. This case study is not just a detailed explanation of how instruction might be offered; rather it is intended to illustrate how the concepts and principles presented in this paper can provide a foundation for providing effective instructional assistance.

Research Paper: Development of Screening Test Battery for Volleyball Players: A Mixed Method Study Purpose: Design and development of functional movement screening in athletes are one of the important measures taken for reducing the injury in professional sports. Today, functional movement screening aimed at identifying athletes susceptible to injury is designed and implemented based on fundamental functional patterns and the performance of that particular sport. Currently, there are no standard protocols for the screening of volleyball-specific performance movements. Methods: In this study, 20 volleyball high level experts were selected through purposive sampling method. The study data were collected by semi-structured interviews and field notes in 2017. The interview transcripts were encoded using MAXQDA V. 10 software. To extract categories and subjects, the thematic analysis approach was used. The results of interviews were conducted in a questionnaire to determine the validity and reliability was investigated. Face validity, content validity and construct validity (convergent and divergent validity) of the questionnaire was evaluated, too. The reliability was estimated by a test-retest method of 2 weeks interval using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Results: In first analysis process, initial codes were extracted and then, 38 (out of the 82 existing potential tests) tests were identified. Finally, after proper examining of the validity and reliability of the tests, 12 tests including deep squat, inline lunge, trunk stability push up, rotary stability, shoulder mobility, triple hop for distance, hexagon, lateral lunge, triple jump for distance, sidearm medicine ball throw, closed kinetic chain upper extremity, and squat jump were identified for inclusion in screening test battery. Conclusion: Based on the results of the interviews, the interviewees' choices are more based on the similarity of the tests with the movement patterns and performance capabilities in volleyball and considering the anatomical areas prone to injury. More prospective and follow up studies with various volleyball players are needed to show the capability of these tests to predict injuries.
