Analysis of the Dominant Physical Capacity Components of Volleyball Players in the Train to Train Phase

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the most important physical components in volleyball, using a non-experimental quantitative descriptive approach. The sample consisted of 54 athletes aged 12 - 16 years from the Active Movement Volleyball School (AMVS), selected using purposive sampling. The physical condition assessment covered various biomotor aspects, namely leg muscle power, arm and shoulder muscle strength, abdominal muscle endurance, agility, hand-eye coordination, reaction, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, speed, and balance. The results showed that the majority of players, both male and female, were in the “good” category in most physical indicators. Leg muscle power was categorized as good in 68% of male players and 77% of female players. Arm and shoulder muscle strength was rated as good in 61% of male players and moderate in 63% of female players. Abdominal muscle endurance was also quite good, with 71% of males and 58% of females in the good category. Other aspects such as agility, coordination, reaction, flexibility, endurance, and speed also showed dominance at the “good” level with percentage variations between 42% and 75%. Overall, this study shows that teenage volleyball players at AMVS have a fairly good physical condition profile, especially in muscle strength, coordination, and endurance, which are important components in volleyball performance.
