Effect of Approach Length on Take Off Velocity for Spiking in Volleyball
Papan Mondal, Sudarsan Bhowmick
Abstract :
Introduction: Purpose of the present study was to analyze the short set and high set volleyball spiking action and understand the relation between approach length and take off velocity. Methods: The action of short and high set ball spiking of eight male intervarsity volleyball players (1.78±0.05m, 65.09±6.83kg, and 22.5±2.0 yrs) was recorded by a digital video camera of East Zone Intervarsity Volleyball Tournament. The approach length was calculated by using steel tape. The take off velocity for spiking was calculated by using appropriate motion analysis software. Mean, standard deviation and Coefficient of correlation were computed to analyze the data. Results and Discussion: Length of approach and take off velocity were found to be negatively correlated with the value of co–efficient of correlation of –0.59 for short set ball and –0.25 for high set ball. The result of the present study indicated that the approach length may have an indirect with the take off velocity. Conclusion: From this study it is found that there was a negative relationship in between approach length and take off velocity for front row spiking in volleyball and the players with greater than the optimum approach length may not be able to produce greater take off velocity for spiking the ball.
