Abstract

This study is a comparison of the experimental and the control groups of female volleyball players. Purposively selected participants were (n = 34) equally divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group followed an eight-week strength training program and the control group remained at the routine volleyball practice simply as game practice and warm-up exercise. The selected variables were body mass, stature, 30-m dash, flexibility, agility, 600-m run, sit-ups, standing long jump, push-ups, and hand grip strength. The volleyball serving skills were noted at specified Performa with the consultancy of two qualified volleyball coaches. Two video cameras were used to capture the volleyball service’s actions. Repeated measures of ANOVA were applied for statistical analysis to compare the experimental and control groups. Results exhibited that the players of the experimental group significantly improved performance by eight weeks of strength training as agility, flexibility, standing and vertical jumps, 30-meter dash, speed, endurance, and set-ups than the control group. Further, the experimental group improved the accuracy of the volleyball service than the control group.  It was concluded that the eight weeks of resistance training would increase the physical fitness and volleyball service performance of female volleyball players. Therefore, it is proposed that female volleyball players should be trained by considering strength training programs to improve their volleyball service accuracy and ball speed.
