The effects of 6 weeks preseason skill-based conditioning on physical performance in male volleyball players

The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in physical performance following a 6 weeks skill-based conditioning training program in male competitive volleyball players. Sixteen male volleyball players (mean ± SD: age 22.3 ± 3.7 years, body height 190.7 ± 4.2 cm, and body mass 78.4 ± 4.5 kg) participated in this study. Players were tested for sprinting (5 m and 10 m sprint), agility and jumping performance (the vertical jump test, the spike jump test and the standing broad jump). Compared with pre- training, there was a significant improvement in 5 m and 10 m speed. There were no significant differences between pre- training and post-training for lower-body muscular power (vertical-jump height, spike-jump height and standing broad jump) and agility. Based on our results, it could be concluded that a preseason skill-based conditioning program does not offer a sufficient stimulus for volleyball players. Therefore, a general conditioning and hypertrophy training along with specific volleyball conditioning is necessary in preseason for the development of the lower-body strength, agility and speed performance in volleyball players.
