A Comparison Of The Jumping Performance Of Female Junior Volleyball Players In Terms Of Their Playing Positions

The aim of this study was to examine the positional differences in jumping performance of female junior volleyball players. Fifty-six female volleyball players (n=56, average age=16.28±1.32) participated in this study. The players were categorized as middle blockers (n = 13), opposite hitters (n = 16), outside hitters (n = 15) and setters (n = 12). The participants performed the Countermovement Jump (CMJ) and Squat jump (SJ) tests using the Myotest and Attack and Block jump tests. The results on the vertical jump tests (CMJ and SJ) show similar values for all the positions in the team and no significant difference (p≥0.05). The same results were determined for the Attack and Block jump tests. The results of this study indicate that there were no significant differences among female junior volleyball players of different playing positions for jumping performance. It cannot be concluded that volleyball players develop distinctive performance characteristics at this age and level.
