“…3 reported that high horizontal velocities of COM were related to greater spike jump height contributing to the vertical acceleration of the COM. Other studies reinforce that the approach before the spike and a better use of countermovement 41 and length of the orientation step during approach 16 are important to improve vertical jump performance. Hence, improving approach speed by appropriate strength (e.g.…”

“…The success in performing the spike depends on physical 7,8 and psychological 9 attributes that may be captured by a number of kinematic variables of the movement 2,4,10 and the ball speed after the impact. 2,11–13 Three-dimensional kinematic studies have provided relevant information on spike performance regarding sex, 14–16 level of experience, 10,14,17 technique 18,19 and injury prevention. 5,10,18,20 Nevertheless, no consensus has been reached regarding technique differences between men and women and the experience level.…”

The volleyball spike represents one of the more sophisticated attack actions, and the study of its kinematics has been the aim of several studies. This systematic review summarized and critically appraised the literature on the volleyball spike kinematics. Studies that analysed the 3D kinematics of the volleyball player during spike movements were searched in the PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and SPORTDiscus databases. Eighteen studies met the eligibility criteria and were assessed as high ( n = 7), good ( n = 6) and limited quality ( n = 5). There are strong indications that the spike jump height depends on the velocities of the centre of mass and that the ball speed seems to be related to velocity variables of the spike arm and the trunk of the volleyball player. Cross-court spike performance from position 4 seems to be associated with the trunk rotation of the volleyball player. In addition to the kinematic differences between the sexes, studies analysed the relationship between spike technique performance and injuries. However, further studies are required before a clear relationship can be established. These results may support sports coaches in optimizing athletic performance with adequate technique training and using kinematic cues from the opposing volleyball players to anticipate spike direction.

Purpose . Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) levels are a prior reference point in the optimal management of effort parameters motor skills-related fitness. Typically indicated in sports literariness by improving the aerobic components that work to develop muscle flexibility, coordination of joint movements, the increase of speed and strength, which their developments advance the overall physical condition of the players. Methods . To solve the objective of this research, we establish the MAS levels of 60 elite male volleyball players (aged 22 to 25 years, ±5 years in elite championships). As well as their motor skill-related fitness, inspected by 20m speed, T-test agility and power strength volleyball test jumps (vertical or horizontal). Results . Our results confirm maximal aerobic speed (MAS) values as essential components for the player to achieve high performance under high explosive loads. Upkeep by our protocol to be advanced at MSA upper than 3.99 (m/s). Suspected as a variation of effort energy consumption. Explained by similarity through different resistance player capacities relative to its biomechanical particular gesture activity improvements or its movement technique optimized to his boundary conditions. Conclusions . Our protocol supports MAS levels (MAS) as an excellent test to evaluate the development of motor abilities in masculine volleyball. Upkeep by our protocol to be developed at MSA +3.99 (m/s). Claims as a minimal component of the conditioning to improve the motor volleyball skill-fitness ability. Subjected in this study as an easy volleyball-test tool to predict players' speed, agility, coordination and power developments. Challenging our trainers to access the player's anaerobic energy as a pointer of players’ physical capacity skills fitness progress.

“…Previous researchers reported kinematic differences on duration of flight, jump height, and ball velocity in the front-row spike between the short set and high set ball [2] and indicated that the performance of the three-step approach RSJ was mainly influenced by vertical jump ability [1] and technical coordination [3]. The jump height demonstrated a positive correlation with the approach velocity, velocity transfer, upper-body lean, range of motion of the knee and ankle joints [4], and knee flexion angle [1]. Moreover, higher approach running velocity before a jump can enhance the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) [5], make the subsequent neuromuscular force production and muscular concentric contraction more effective [6,7], and further improve the take-off velocity of the center of mass (COM) and jumping performance [8].…”

“…Although previous researchers have conducted certain biomechanical analyses on the RSJ-2L [1,4] and analyzed the RSJ-1L using kinematic [12] or simulation methods [16], respectively, limitations exist with no comprehensive comparison. Based on the aforementioned different practical characteristics between RSJ-1L and RSJ-2L, it is worth to further look into academic differences in kinetics combined with kinematics between RSJ-1L and RSJ-2L.…”

Dynamic Characteristics of Approach Spike Jump Tasks in Male Volleyball Players

The approach running spike-jump (RSJ) is a crucial technique in the sport of volleyball. Two types of RSJs are commonly used for the volleyball spike attack: (1) RSJ with one leg (RSJ-1L) and (2) RSJ with two legs (RSJ-2L). The purposes of the current study were to compare the kinematic and kinetic differences between the RSJ-1L and RSJ-2L. Ten male college volleyball players performed spike jumps by striking a stationary ball at maximal jump height. Data were collected by six infrared Qualisys motion-capture cameras (180 Hz), two AMTI force platforms (1800 Hz), and recorded by Qualisys Track Manager software. The RSJ-1L demonstrated the faster three-step approach running velocity, greater vertical GRF, and ankle, knee, and hip joint moment, but less jump height, shorter last step length and push-off time, smaller knee and hip joint flexion angles at the initial foot-contact, and knee range of motion compared to the RSJ-2L. The current study contributed to the understanding of biomechanical differences of the volleyball spike jumps and can be used to adapt to the volleyball training.
