Abstract

Players of this sport to perform better throughout the competition must be very well trained in various physical and physiological aspects. Their muscles must be strong, elastic, explosive, well coordinated and capable of sustaining periods of intense intermittent physical effort for two or three hours. In the case of muscular endurance, volleyball players perform dynamic contractions with most of the muscle groups, mainly with the calf and soleus muscles; therefore, at high competitive levels, these muscles acquire a great capacity to resist fatigue. In this sport, isometric resistance is less important than dynamic resistance, since the former never extend beyond a few seconds”. This research was carried out with the objective of evaluating the physical condition of the athletes by means of different tests such as: jumping test, flexibility test, strength test in arms and legs, coordination test by means of two tests and speed test. Ten volleyball players between 18 and 25 years of age participated in this study. In addition to the tests, their blood pressure, BMI, oximetry, and other aspects were taken. An investigation was carried out on the physiological responses based on the volleyball discipline, in order to know the different adaptations. Results were presented that encompassed mostly healthy players who responded positively to exercise stress tests.  The ideal volleyball player would have to have an important tactical intelligence, have a good management of technical resources, be mentally strong, and from the social/psychological point of view have a good relationship with the rest of the team members and have a high physical efficiency. In any case, a player could compensate for certain deficiencies in some of these aspects with very high levels in the others.
