The relationship between speed and isokinetic knee strength in female volleyball players

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between speed and isokinetic knee strength applied at different angular velocities in female volleyball players. 11 female volleyball players from the senior category volunteered in the study (mean age : 20.2±3.9 years, mean height : 176.8±7.1 cm, mean weight : 66.6±5.7 kg). Isomed 2000 isokinetic dynamometer was used in order to measure the isokinetic strength of participants while 20 m sprint test was conducted in order to measure the speed. In measuring isokinetic strength, knee flexion and extension (H/Q) were measured separately on concentric/concentric dominant and non-dominant legs at 60°/sec angular velocity for 5 repetitions, at 180°/sec for 10 repetitions, and at 300°/sec for 15 repetitions. In data analysis, Spearman's correlation test was used for the relationship between isokinetic knee strength applied at different angular velocities and speed (p < 0.05). The highest peak torque value in participants was measured on both sides at 60°/sec angular velocity. This was followed by 180°/sec and 300°/sec angular velocities respectively. There was no significant relationship between isokinetic knee strength applied at different angular velocities and speed. In conclusion, there is not any significant relationship between speed and isokinetic knee strength in female volleyball players.

The Effect of Balance Exercises on Some Strength Abilities of The Legs for High-Spiking Players in Volleyball

“…The characteristics of the game, its area, controlling the ball's paths, and making decisions in very short periods added difficulties to the player and require him to possess different abilities at a very high level. The player who was able to produce a larger jump increases his ability to perform successfully in attack and defense due to its pitch, and volleyball requires very short races and fast and agile movements for successful performance (10), (11) . The measures taken in the variety of jumping tests using the devices allowed the researchers to identify details of the strength at a greater level to find out more details in the advantages of jumping ability and agility, as well as the strength of the arms, which we always find there were good jumping capabilities, but weakness in the player's strikes to the opponent's arena.…”

Survei Keterampilan Passing Pada Permainan Bola Voli Siswa Kelas VIII di SMP Negeri 1 Bagor Kabupaten Nganjuk

“…Sehingga disimpulkan bahwa bola voli yakni permainan olahraga yang dimainkan oleh dua tim berlawanan dan berjumlah 6 pemain. (Cengizel, 2020) Bola voli merupakan olahraga fisik dinamis yang dilandasi oleh kelincahan, kekuatan, mobilitas, kelenturan, daya tahan, dan loncat dengan tempo yang tinggi serta tidak memiliki durasi yang ditentukan. (Ratimiasih, 2021) dari berbagai teknik dasar permainan bola voli salah satu yang harus dikuasai adalah teknik dasar passing.…”

The Association Between Force-Velocity Relationship in Countermovement Jump and Sprint With Approach Jump, Linear Acceleration and Change of Direction Ability in Volleyball Players

“…The higher a player is able to jump, the greater his/her potential for successful performance in offensive and defensive actions ( Forthomme et al, 2005 ). Due to its court, volleyball requires very short-distance sprints and quick and agile movements for successful performance in defensive actions ( Cengizel, 2020 ). The performance of a volleyball player is directly affected by the capacity of producing power in jumping and sprinting actions ( Sattler et al, 2015 ; Schons et al, 2019 ).…”
