Abstract

The research aimed to identify the performance level of the serve, both the smash and the wave, among the research sample, and to determine the effect of the speed-strength level of the arms on the performance of the smash and wave serves among the sample. The research sample. The researchers used the descriptive approach with a survey methodology, considering it the best and easiest method for achieving the objectives of this research. The objectives set by the researchers for their research and the procedures that They use it based on the nature they will choose, and accordingly, the researchers chose their research community from the players of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al Ain University for the academic year (2024-2025), and selected a sample from them. The number of players was (7) out of (14) players, representing (50%) of the original population. The researchers used the serve accuracy test to measure the serving skill of the volleyball players in three The researchers used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and the following formulas: arithmetic mean (x), standard deviation (y), and Pearson correlation. The results showed varying levels of different values among the research sample. The researchers examined the performance of the smashing and undulating serve. They concluded that the players' abilities varied in performing the speed-strength arm test, and that a significant correlation existed between the speed-strength test and the players' performance. With speed and accuracy in the smashing serve, a significant correlation emerged between the speed-strength test and the accuracy of the wave serve. The speed-strength component of the arms plays a major role in achieving high levels. From the skillful performance in many sports activities in general, and in volleyball in particular, and specifically in the skills that the researchers addressed (serve accuracy) in particular.
