The Effect Of Resistance Training Using The Vertimax Method On Developing Explosive Leg Power And Accuracy In The Volleyball Spike For Young Players

Abstract

The importance of this research lies in the researcher's attempt to use resistance training with the Vertimax method to develop explosive leg power, in addition to achieving accuracy in performance by reaching the highest possible height to hit the ball, thus achieving better performance in the game. Volleyball: The research problem stems from monitoring the developments in volleyball in general, and the development of the spiking skill in particular at the local level, given its impact on match results. Researchers observed that the technical level of this skill is not consistent. With the advancements in sports training and volleyball, and the significant weakness and inconsistency among players in the accuracy of their spikes, researchers have sought to utilize resistance training with the Vertimax method to develop explosive power. The research aimed to develop resistance training using the Vertimax method to improve leg explosive power and volleyball spiking accuracy, and to identify statistical differences between pre- and post-tests of strength. The explosiveness and accuracy of the volleyball smashing skill, and the researchers used the experimental method in the single group style to suit the nature of the problem in order to obtain accurate information and results. The experimental method is one of the most efficient means of reaching reliable knowledge. The research population consisted of (16) players from the Akkad Sports Club, from which (10) players were selected to represent the research sample, constituting (62.50%) of the population. One of the most important conclusions was that resistance training using the Vertimax method had a significant impact on development. The explosive power of the two men in the research group is such that these exercises work to develop the ability.
