Abstract | ||||
The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of Dynamic Balance training program on Some Physical Abilities and selected biomechanical variables to enhance the Volleyball Spike Performance for Female Under-16. Eight female volleyball juniors from Smouha Sporting Club (age 14.91 ± 0.69, Height 168.13 ± 1.96 cm, weight 58.13 ± 3.18 kg, and training age 6.13 ± 0.64). Physical abilities were also measured. Each player performed three spike trials pre and post- measurements the best one was chosen for biomechanical analysis. Data were collected using two digital synchronized cameras (JVC9800, 120 Hz) to videotape the performance. The biomechanics analysis was done using the three-dimensional software Winanalyez v2.5). Eight weeks, six sessions per week training program was set before post-measurements. The main results showed significant differences between pre-measurements and post-measurements in all physical abilities. Results also indicated significant differences at 0.05 level between pre-measurements and post-measurements of the center of the body mass velocity (COM) in the takeoff phase and the trunk angle in the hand back swing phase. Other biomechanics variables showed non-significant differences. The study concludes that the dynamic balance training program had a positive effect on improving the volleyball spike performance for female under-16. | ||||
