Introduction Passing and serving are the most direct and efficient tactics for scoring points in volleyball. The recoil of the upper limbs in dominating the ball requires strength and muscular explosion, where the effect of the body's angular momentum accompanies a joint and rhythmic action. Objective This study aims to analyze muscle strength in upper limb movements in volleyball athletes. Methods Several volleyball players volunteered for the research. The movement when the athlete hits the ball was analyzed using kinematic analysis. The relationship between muscle strength and ball movement was also analyzed. Results Body muscle tissue can be effectively trained during volleyball practice. The compound movements also help in the elasticity of the abdominal muscles. The stimulation of other muscle groups was observed in the participation of the movements. Conclusion In modern volleyball training, athletes should strengthen their training with rapid trunk muscle swing exercises to improve the coordination ability of the sets of muscle groups. The protocols presented can assist in improving players’ skills and performance. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
