A Comparative Study On Explosive Strength And Muscular Endurance Between State And National Level Volleyball Players

Abstract

Strength is the most indispensable factor of physical prowess and the best way to develop strength is through an organized programmer of weight training. Through the judicious use of weight training, we effectively improve strength local muscular endurance and power. The purpose of the study was to find out which is more important out of motor performance components of the Volleyball. The objective of the study was (i) Comparison of Explosive Strength between the state and national level Volleyball player performance. (ii) Comparison of Muscle Endurance between the state and national level Volleyball player performance.
Explosive strength was measured by the horizontal distance covered in feet and inches between the take-off line and the nearer break made in landing using standing broad jump. Muscular strength was measured with the help of sit ups and the number of sit ups in one minute was taken as the score. The major findings of the study was Standing Broad Jump of national level Volleyball players was significantly high in comparison to state level players that mean they have more leg explosive power. Muscular Endurance of national level Volleyball players was significantly high in comparison to state level players that mean they have more muscular ability.
