The Effect of Exercises Using the Viper Training Tool on Explosive Power and Speed and the Level of Performance of the Smash and Blocking Skills in Volleyball

Abstract

The research aim at identifying the effect of exercises using Viper and its effect on explosive power and speed and the level of performance of the smash and blocking skills for volleyball players. Which, when emphasized in training, benefits the players through special exercises that work to develop explosive power and speed and thus obtain optimal and accurate performance as it is closely related to the skills of the game. In light of these goals, the researcher developed the following hypothesis: There are no statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-test of the research group. The research community was determined by volleyball players under the age of 16. The researcher chose her sample from the players of Al-Sinaa Club. They underwent skill tests (accuracy of straight smash and accuracy of blocking wall). The physical tests included (strength characterized by speed and explosive ability). The researcher used the statistical bag to process the data. The research results showed that there were significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in the research variables. Considering discussing the results, she reached several conclusions that achieved the research objectives and hypotheses, including that Viper exercises positively affect the physical and skill variables under study in the game of volleyball. This was evident from the players achieving high accuracy in their performance of the skills studied. The researcher recommended the necessity of using training programs that focus on developing special physical abilities through Viper and their reflection on the skill aspect of the players.
