The effect of training with the Zahorek model on developing the smash and blocking wall for female volleyball players aged (14-16) years

Abstract

It takes a lot of work and practice to become proficient in this game, thus focus must be placed on the learning and development stages. This is because basic abilities, particularly smashing and blocking, are essential for progressing in performance level. This highlights the significance of the research, which uses cognitive model exercises (Zahorik) to determine how young female volleyball players (ages 14 to 16) develop their smashing and blocking skills. The question that follows provides a summary of the research problem: Do Zahorik model workouts affect young female volleyball players (ages 14–16) in terms of smashing and blocking? The study's objective is to determine how Zahorik model workouts affect young female volleyball players, ages 14 to 16, as they develop their smashing and blocking skills. In addition to designing the procedure with two equal groups (experimental and control) with pre- and post-tests, the researcher adopted the experimental method because it is appropriate for the nature of the study topic. The primary study sample was subsequently selected by the researcher using a straightforward random procedure (lottery) from the Sulaymaniyah Club participants. There were twenty-two players in this group, representing seventeen percent (17.46%) of the research population. The study came to the conclusion that Zahorik's model had a beneficial effect on the development of the smash and the blocking wall. The researcher suggests utilizing new models, such as Zahorik's model, which aims to improve team gaming abilities.
