METHODOLOGY FOR IMPROVING STUDENT VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS' BLOCKING TECHNIQUE BASED ON KINEMATIC INDICATORS
Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a four-month training program designed to improve the blocking technique of university volleyball players through a kinematic-based approach. A total of 24 male athletes aged 19–21 participated in the experiment (12 in the experimental group, 12 in the control group). The training spanned 16 weeks, structured into meso- and microcycles, with 20 minutes of each session dedicated to blocking exercises. Kinematic video analysis, plyometric tests, synchronization assessments, and reaction time evaluations were employed. Post-intervention results showed significant improvements in the experimental group: jump height (+11%), reaction time (−0.18 s), and synchronization level (+17%) (p<0.05). The findings highlight the value of a biomechanically informed, kinematic-based training protocol for developing automated and efficient blocking performance in student volleyball athletes.
