THE LEVEL OF PHYSICAL TRAINING SPECIFIC TO THE OPPOSITE PLAYER IN PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL

Abstract

In the training of players, the premise is that sportives are trainable and that their performance capacity level can be influenced in a positive way. Generally speaking, training in the field of a sports game, particularly in volleyball, is considered as a specialized process of development and formation of the personality of the player regarded both individually and as a member of the team.
The training activity acts in the direction of increasing the player’s performance capacity. In the process of a physical training, we aim to develop at a higher level the basic physical qualities as well as those specific to the respective sports branch. As a remark we can say that with the improvement of sports mastery, the ability to reciprocally supplant motor qualities tends to be restricted and as a result all motor qualities must be developed, with emphasis on the dominant ones.
Method: Motor and functional tests applied to 8 volleyball players playing as an opposite player (universal).
Discussions: Looking at the most important opposite player in the A1 Male Volleyball Division, we could see that there are many situations where the lack of specific physical training at high level or at the level that is observed in stronger championships also betrays the level of training of our coaches. This can be regarded as one of the factors for which the level of playing and thus the performance recorded in our championship is often lower than the level of performance practiced in the strong championships of other countries, especially in Europe.
Conclusions: The analyses carried out in the hereby research, as well as the clear proof of the potential that the players in the internal championship display, by improving their specific physical training, can constitute a lever, which, together with others, properly researched, manages to identify the right recipe for recovering the prestige of volleyball in our country.
