“…While plyometric training should be an integral part of conditioning programs, aimed at improving jumping ability in volleyball players, at least one study (Smith et al, 1987) found improvements in block jump but not spike jump after 6 weeks of isokinetic resistance training in which players performed exercises in both slow and fast angular velocities. The control group in this study was involved in volleyball training only and showed no improvements.…”

“…The search yielded 24 observational studies: 12 of male (Gladden & Colacino, 1978;Viitasalo, 1982;Lee et al, 1989;Smith et al, 1992;Stockbrugger & Haennel, 2003;Kollias et al, 2004;Forthomme et al, 2005;Hertogh et al, 2005;de Ruiter et al, 2007;Laffaye et al, 2007;Sheppard et al, 2007aSheppard et al, , b, 2008, 10 of female (Gladden & Colacino, 1978;Spence et al, 1980;Fleck et al, 1985;Marey et al, 1991;Hakkinen, 1993;Ferris et al, 1995;Barnes et al, 2007;Nesser & Demchak, 2007;Stech & Smulsky, 2007;Amasay, 2008), and two of male and female (Coutts, 1982;Lawson et al, 2006) players. In addition, eight experimental studies were found: four of male (Newton et al, 1999;Maffiuletti et al, 2002;Saez Saez de Villarreal et al, 2007;Pereira et al, 2008) and four of female (Smith et al, 1987;Fry et al, 1991;Newton et al, 2006;Marques et al, 2008) players. A summary of the observational and experimental studies of female and male players is presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. In essence, the integrated knowledge that emerged from our review of the selected observational and experimental studies on VJ in volleyball players can be used by volleyball coaches and strength and conditioning coaches to assess the actual contribution of short-and long-term training programs to the development of their players.…”

The main purpose of this article was to review a series of studies (n=32; 24 observational and eight experimental) examining vertical jump (VJ) performances in female and male volleyball players. The main findings of this review are (a) players of better performing teams have higher VJ values; (b) strength and conditioning programs that emphasize plyometric training can increase VJ performance; and (c) it is important to continue conditioning sessions throughout the season in order to maintain VJ performance. Three research limitations associated with the testing protocols and the strength and conditioning programs used in the studies were outlined: (a) the use of multiple testing protocols; (b) lack of experimental studies; and (c) lack of data on the effect of VJ performance on achieving success in actual games. Four recommendations for volleyball and strength and conditioning coaches were given: (a) Plyometric training should be included in the annual training program; (b) Interruptions in the conditioning program during the season should be avoided; (c) Overtraining during the pre-season should be avoided; and (d) VJ performance should be tested throughout the entire season.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to quantify ground reaction forces for some of the most commonly utilised volleyball blocking approaches and to examine their kinetic and kinematic characteristics. Basic procedures: The study was comprised of 18 healthy recreationally active women who volunteered to participate. Immediately after completion of the warm-up protocol, subjects performed 5 blocking approaches: stationary blocking approach (SBA), shuffle block to the right (SHBR), shuffle block to the left (SHBL), swing block to the right (SWBR) and swing block to the left (SWBL). In order to allow adequate recovery, each trial was randomly assigned and separated by a 1-2 minute rest interval. A uni-axial force plate with data acquisition system sampling at 1000 Hz was used to measure ground reaction forces. Main findings: SWBR and SWBL unveiled the greatest peak concentric force and rate of force development when compared to SBA, while no difference was observed when compared to SHBR and SHBL. Results: No significant differences were observed in peak landing force, impulse, and vertical jump height between any of the blocking approaches examined in this study. Conclusions: Knowing biomechanical characteristics of some of the most commonly utilised volleyball blocking approaches may help athletes to appropriately respond and quickly adjust to the opponent’s attacking position. Kinetic and kinematic variables are likely to be augmented with an advanced level of competition and can be trained and improved by properly designed and implemented strength and conditioning programmes.
