“…The present study resulted in a significant improvement in both COD (1.6%) and 20m sprint performance (3.4%) of female volleyball players in the regional competitive season. These results were in line with the previous study in which Karahan (2018) reported that semi-elite female volleyball players' COD (1.6%) and sprint (2.1%) performances improved significantly during the long-term competition season. The present study also indicated that the improvement in linear sprinting (first period=2.4%, second period= 0.9%) and COD (first period= 0.7%, second period= 0.98%) abilities in the first period of the competitive season was significantly better than in the second period.…”

“…Nevertheless, increased match load and prolonged rallies can induce significant degradation in the physical performance characteristics of the players by increasing both physiological and psychological stresses that trigger fatigue (Haneishi et al, 2007). Despite the specific measures taken, there may be significant fluctuations in physical performance variables during the competition season depending on many factors such as the fitness level of the athletes, intensity of the competitions, training volume or content (Karahan, 2018;Koutedakis, 1995). A limited number of studies provide data that seasonal variations in the physical performance characteristics of female volleyball players competing in different playing level (Hakkinen, 1993;Karahan, 2018;Nesser and Demchak, 2007; Rousanoglou, Barzouka and Boudolos 2013).…”

For example, Hakkinen (1991) and Karahan (2018) reported for elite and semi-elite female volleyball players, respectively that the seasonal reduction in anaerobic power and the increase in neuromuscular functions were significant.…”

Additionally, Although success in volleyball games is associated with many internal and external factors, it mostly depends on the development of the physical, physiological, and technical-tactical characteristics of players and their ability to perform them on the court throughout the season (Koutedakis, 1995).…”

“…of elite female (Purkhus et al 2016) or male(Vilamitjana et al, 2006) volleyball players during the competition season. In addition,Karahan (2018) stated that the prolonged competition season has a significant impact on the improvement of the aerobic performance of semi-elite female volleyball players. However, Hakkinen (1993) andManna et al (2012) reported that there was no significant difference in VO2max values of elite female volleyball players during the competition season.…”

This study aims to examine the seasonal changes in the physical performance of female volleyball players competing in the regional division. Forty-three volunteer female players (age: 22 ± 2.1 years, height: 172.9 ± 4 cm, weight: 61.5 ± 6 kg, experience: 8.8 years) competing in the same group of the regional division of the Turkish volleyball league participated in this study. Players participated in a series of test protocols including the 20m shuttle-run, T-run, 20m sprint, vertical jump, and running anaerobic sprint (RAST) in the beginning, mid, and ending of the 16-week competition season. The results showed that all tested physical performance characteristics of the players improved significantly in both the first and second periods of the competition season. However, the improvements in the first period were significantly higher than in the second period for VO2max (4.7 vs 1.5%, p<0.05), anaerobic power (6.6 vs 1.9%, p<0.05), vertical jump height (3.46 vs 1.54%, p<0.05), explosive power (4.48 vs 3.72%, p<0.05), 20-m sprint (2.4 vs 0.98%, p<0.05) and change of direction abilities (0.9 vs 0.7%, p<0.05). This study indicated that the prolonged competition season might induce significant functional improvements in the physical fitness profile of female volleyball players competing in the regional division. Este estudio tiene como objetivo examinar los cambios estacionales en el rendimiento físico de las jugadoras de voleibol que compiten en la división regional. En este estudio participaron 43 jugadoras voluntarias (edad: 22 ± 2,1 años, altura: 172,9 ± 4 cm, peso: 61,5 ± 6 kg, experiencia: 8,8 ± 1,8 años) que competían en el mismo grupo de la división regional de la liga turca de voleibol. Las jugadoras participaron en una serie de pruebas que incluían el test de ida y vuelta de 20 metros, T-test de agilidad, sprint de 20 m, salto vertical y carrera de sprint anaeróbico (RAST) al principio, a la mitad y al final de la temporada de competición de 16 semanas. Los resultados mostraron que todas las características de rendimiento físico evaluadas de las jugadoras mejoraron significativamente tanto en el primer como en el segundo período de la temporada de competición. Sin embargo, las mejoras en el primer período fueron significativamente más altas que en el segundo período para el VO2máx (4,7 vs 1,5%, p <0,05), potencia anaeróbica (6.6 vs 1,9%, p <0,05), altura del salto vertical (3,46 vs 1,54%, p <0,05), potencia explosiva (4,48 vs 3,72%, p <0,05), sprint de 20 m (2,4 vs 0,98%, p <0,05) y habilidades de cambio de dirección (0,9 vs 0,7%, p <0,05). Este estudio indicó que la temporada de competición prolongada podría inducir mejoras funcionales significativas en el perfil de condición física de las jugadoras de voleibol que compiten en la división regional.
