“…Chin thickness correlated largely to very largely with skinfolds in torso with large fat stores (chest II, abdomen, and iliac crest), which might explain the relevance of chin skinfold for performance indices. Skinfold thickness was used widely in female volleyball, where it was shown that the number and anatomical sites of skinfolds varied by study [5,[19][20][21]. Thus, the present study highlighted the importance of evaluating not only the sum of skinfolds, but also the patterns of SAT distribution among skinfolds.…”

“…The skinfold method was selected to study SAT distribution in order for the findings to have practical relevance considering the widely cost-effective use of this method in field [5,19,20,23]. It was acknowledged that the DEXA method would not be an accurate method for SAT patterning analyses [30].…”

“…However, the ultrasound technique also had limitations in terms of cost of equipment, testing protocol, and preparation of participants that might explain the limited use of this method in female volleyball so far [17]. On the other hand, the skinfold thickness method was used widely by studies in female volleyball [19][20][21][22][23] and correlated very largely with BIA, air-displacement plethysmography method [24] and ultrasound technique [17].…”

Background and objectives: The aim of the present study was to examine subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution in female volleyball players with regards to (a) variation by anatomical site, (b) differences among age groups and playing positions, and (c) physiological characteristics associated with performance. Materials and Methods: Participants were adolescent (n = 89, age 15.6 ± 0.9 years, mean ± standard deviation) and adult female volleyball players (n = 78, 24.8 ± 5.3 years), who performed a series of anthropometric and performance tests including skinfold thickness in 10 sites, Abalakov jump (AJ) and handgrip test (HG). Results: Chin had the smallest thickness, and iliac crest and abdomen the largest. The largest correlations of skinfold thickness were shown with regards to AJ ad HG. Coefficient of variations in skinfold thickness correlated with performance indices with small magnitude. Triceps and chin were the most frequent predictors of performance indices. The anatomical site of skinfold was near the active muscle groups related to performance in HG. Conclusions: In conclusion, performance indices such AJ and HG were related with thickness of specific skinfolds and with the variation of thickness by anatomical site (i.e., the less the variation, the better the performance). Considering the relevance of specific skinfolds (e.g., triceps and chin) for performance, their further use would be recommended for purposes of training monitoring, volleyball players’ selection and talent identification.

“…The horizontal jump tests included two exercises: The standing long jump and the depth leap long jump. One study included both male and female participants [56], one included only males [58] and another included only females [48]. The study conducted by Milić et al [52] did not report the genre of the participants.…”

“…Studies conducted by Milić et al [52] and Çımenlı et al [57] revealed a significant increase in horizontal jump performance after the plyometric training intervention. However, another study did not show significant differences in this regard [56], and the study carried out by Gjinovci et al [48] presented only a small effect of plyometric training on horizontal jump performance.…”

Volleyball is considered a very explosive and fast-paced sport in which plyometric training is widely used. Our purpose was to review the effects of plyometric training on volleyball players’ performance. A systematic search was conducted according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using PubMed, SciELO, SPORTDiscus, Medline, Scopus, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL and Web Science for articles published no later than December 2018. Any criteria were imposed for the included sample. The search focus was on interventional studies in which athletes underwent a plyometric program. To the 1831 articles found, another five were added, identified through other sources. Duplicated files were removed, titles and abstracts were screened, which left 21 remaining studies for extensive analysis. Results showed that the vertical jump (15 studies) was the major ability studied in plyometric training interventions, followed by strength (four studies), horizontal jump (four studies), flexibility (four studies) and agility/speed (three studies). In addition, it was observed that young (under 18 years old) female athletes were the most studied. The included studies indicated that plyometric training seems to increase vertical jump performance, strength, horizontal jump performance, flexibility and agility/speed in volleyball players. However, more studies are needed to better understand the benefits of plyometric training in volleyball players’ performance.

The Effects of 3-Month Skill-Based and Plyometric Conditioning on Fitness Parameters in Junior Female Volleyball Players

Abstract: Selected variables can be improved by adding 2 plyometric training sessions throughout the period of 12 weeks. Additional skill-based conditioning did not contribute to improvement in the studied variables compared with regular volleyball training.
