The impact of weight-bearing jump exercises on developing explosive leg strength and the accuracy of the blocking skill in volleyball

Abstract

The study aimed to design weight-bearing jump exercises for the sample group to develop explosive leg strength and to examine the effect of these exercises on the precision of the volleyball blocking technique. Two groups, one experimental and one control, were used by the researcher to implement the experimental procedure. to align with the nature and objectives of the research. The study was conducted on a sample of sixteen players that are representative of the Al-Abbasiyah Youth Sports Forum. The program was implemented over 12 weeks. After the program's completion, data were collected and analyzed to obtain the results. The study determined that there is a favorable impact of using weight-bearing jump training on developing explosive leg strength. The researcher recommends the importance of using weight-bearing jump activities to increase the volleyball blocking skill's precision.
