| Abstract | ||||
| It is very desirable for coaches and sport scientists to predict with a high degree of probability whether or not a player in any given sport will achieve success as an athlete (27). Anthropometric and physical performance characteristics have been shown to be key factors for predicting successful performance in many sports, including volleyball (2, 12, 17, 19, 30). Volleyball requires that players repeatedly perform short bouts of high-intensity activities, such as jumping, spiking, blocking, digging, and sprinting, in order to fulfill the technical and tactical requisites for high level performance (6, 9, 10, 14, 16, 20, 25, 32). Thus, for the game of volleyball, technical and tactical skills, anthropometric characteristics, and physical performance abilities have been recognized as important factors contributing to success at all levels of competition (2, 6, 13, 15, 20, 25, 26, 30). | ||||
