The purpose of this study was to verify if a conditioning activity was effective to elicit postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) and to increase the performance in vertical jump (VJ) in elite female volleyball players. Eleven national Superliga-2 volleyball players (22.6 ± 3.5 years) were randomly assigned to an experimental and control group. Countermovement jumps (CMJ) were performed on eight occasions: before (Pre-PAPE) and after activation (Post-PAPE), after the match (Pre-Match), and after each of the five-match sets (Set 1 to 5). ANOVA showed significantly increased jump performance for the experiment between baseline (Pre-PAPE) and all the following tests: +1.3 cm (Post-PAPE), +3.0 cm (Pre-Match), +4.8 cm (Set 1), +7.3 cm (Set 2), +5.1 cm (Set 3), +3.6 cm (Set 4), and +4.0 cm (Set 5), all showing medium to large effect size (0.7 < ES < 2.4). The performance of the control group did not show significant increases until Set 3 (+3.2 cm) and Set 5 (+2.9 cm), although jump heights were always lower for the control group than the experimental. The use of conditioning activity generates increased VJ performance in Post-PAPE tests and elicited larger PAPE effects that remain until the second set of a volleyball match.

In volleyball, spikes, and block jumps are among the most important movements when earning points and impacting performance. Many studies have found a greater jump height after acutely augmented feedback and extrinsic focus of attention on vertical jump height. However, there are limited studies on the long-term effects of using an overhead target on volleyball-specific vertical jumps (block and spike jumps). Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of using an overhead target on the vertical jump heights of volleyball players. Twenty-five professional male volleyball players (age: 24.44 ± 3.78 years; height: 1.82 ± 8.79 cm; body mass: 80.96 ± 9.37 kg) were randomly assigned either to the experimental group with an overhead target (OHT) ( n = 9), group without an overhead target (WOHT) ( n = 10), or the control group ( n = 8). The OHT group performed vertical jumps with an overhead target before their regular training program, while the WOHT group completed vertical jumps without an overhead target before their regular training program. Meanwhile, the control group performed only their regular training program, which was a 5 week (3 days per week) program. All participants’ spike jump (SPJ) and block jump (BJ) results were assessed before and after the intervention. A repeated-measures analysis of variance (3 × 2) did not reveal any significant between-group interactions for SPJ and BJ ( F = 7.32, p < 0.11 and F = 1.59, p < 0.22 respectively), but significant results were found for the time effect ( F = 96.33, p < 0.01 and F = 132.25, p < 0.01 respectively) and group × time interaction ( F = 42.59, p < 0.01 and F = 61.52, p < 0.01, respectively). While the pre- and post-tests for BJ and SPJ values did not change in the control group ( p > 0.05), both of these values increased in the OHT group (60.00 ± 5.95–67.44 ± 5.98 cm, p < 0.01 for d = 1.24 and 49.00 ± 6.74–56.22 ± 5.29 cm p < 0.01 for d = 1.19, respectively) and WOHT group (57.50 ± 4.86–60.50 ± 4.99 cm, p < 0.01 for d = 0.60 and 47.75 ± 4.65–50.25 ± 3.69 cm, p < 0.01 for d = 0.59). It has been suggested that trainers and professionals can use an overhead target to increase the BJ and SPJ heights of professional volleyball players.

The knowledge gained through this study could help to make plyometric training more effective when Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching added to the workouts without having to isolate strength and flexibility on separate sessions. The aim of this study was to compare the individual and combined effects of 6-week of PNF stretching and plyometric training (PLYOT) in muscular power and flexibility for young volleyball players Thirty-seven male young volleyball players participated in the current study. They were distributed into four groups; PNF (n = 10), PLYOT (n = 10), Combining PNF and PLYOT (COMB) (n = 10), and control group without PNF and PLYOT (CON) (n = 7), they were tested before (PRE) and after (POST) 6-week training for muscular power [i.e. vertical jump (VJ), seated medicine ball throw (SMTH), and rotational power ball throw (RPTH)] and flexibility [i.e. sit& reach test (SRT), shoulder& wrist flexibility test (SWFT), and trunk rotation test (TRT)]. The results have shown significant effects of the time for all study variables (p ≤ 0.05) of all groups except CON group had no significant effects (p ˃ 0.05). There were statistically significant differences favor COMB group (p ≤ 0.05) at the POST evaluation in muscular power variables in comparison with the PNF and PLYOT groups, while no statistically significant differences (p ˃ 0.05) were found between PNF, PLYOT, and COMB in all flexibility variables. In conclusion the combined effect of PNF and PLYOT has surpassed the individual effect of them on muscular power but not on flexibility variables.

Fascia-oriented training is supposed to enhance physical performance potential. Specifically, the employment of the catapult mechanism, the refinement of the elastic energy storage, remodelling, rehydration and release in fascia tissue are supposed to enable faster and more powerful jump performance. The authors of the present study reviewed that little applied research has been conducted to bring scientific evidence verifying these findings in sports practice. The study was conducted to assess the effect of a 6-month, fascia-oriented training programme, designed in accordance with the principles of the fascia-oriented exercise, on the height of vertical countermovement jump (CMJ) performance in well-trained volleyball players. Sixteen female players (age 17.31 ± 0.98; height 173 ± 5.26; weight 65.25 ± 6.75) competing in the national league were randomly assigned for the training (TG) and control group (CG). TG performed a supervised 25-minute fascia-oriented training twice a week for six months. Measurements were conducted before and after the training intervention; the subjects performed 3 trials of CMJ. The study hypothesized that after the application, the height of CMJ would increase more in TG than in CG. The results show that the height of CMJ in TG increased comparing to CMJ height in CG, though the difference is not statistically significant. The results of the effect size manifest the increase of medium level, by 2.2cm in TG. Thus we conclude that the results of the study indicate that the application of the 6-month, fascia-oriented training aimed to develop the vertical jump performance potential in elite volleyball players is not statistically significantly beneficial.

This study aimed to compare the effects of the post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) of two different types of warm-ups, unilateral and bilateral, on the performance in vertical jumping and agility of healthy subjects with strength training experience. In the study, 17 subjects (12 men and 5 women) performed two different PAPE protocols: unilateral squat (UT) and bilateral squat (BT). The height of the subjects’ countermovement jump (CMJ) and the subjects’ time to perform the T-agility test (TAT) were measured before and after executing the PAPE warm-up. The squats were performed at a velocity of 0.59 m·s−1 with three sets of three repetitions, with a 3-min rest between sets and a 5-min rest after both uni-and bilateral PAPE warm-ups before taking the tests again. For statistical analysis, we applied ANOVA and calculated the effect size. The results showed that the PAPE for each case decreased the CMJ height but generated significant improvements in the total time taken for the T-agility test (p < 0.01); however, in both cases, the effect sizes were trivial. In conclusion, it is possible to observe that the PAPE, performed both unilaterally and bilaterally, negatively affects the performance in the vertical jump, showing moderate effect sizes. However, both PAPE protocols show performance benefits in agility tests, with a large effect size for the unilateral protocol and moderate for the bilateral protocol.

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of jumping exercises with an overhead target on vertical jump performance of volleyball players. Method: Eighteen male volleyball players (age 21.3 ± 1.8 years, height 183.8 ± 10.0 cm, weight 78.44 ± 12.0 kg) participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups randomly. Before the study, as a pre-test, jumping heights of all participants were measured by the Sargent method. Then, three days a week, for a total of four weeks, the control group performed 10 vertical jump exercises without targeting, while the study group performed 10 jumps with 10% more of the pretest result after the standard volleyball training. The target of a participant who reached the target three times in one session was increased by 10%. As a final test, maximal jump heights of both groups were measured again with the Sargent method. A 2X2 repeated measures analysis of variance was used to determine vertical jump height changes according to pre-test and post-test measurements of the groups.  Results: During the study, the maximal jump values ​​of the volleyball players were found to increase by 13% (55,66 ± 6,7 cm) compared to the control group (50,56 ± 7,70 cm). Conclusion: In branches such as volleyball, where jump performance is the most important determinant of success, it is suggested that exercises should be performed through an overhead target to improve vertical jump performance. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Giriş ve Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı baş üstü hedef göstererek yapılan dikey sıçrama egzersizlerinin voleybol oyuncularının dikey sıçrama performansına olan etkisini araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya on sekiz erkek voleybol (yaş: 21,3±1,8 yıl, boy: 183,8±10,0 cm, vücut ağırlığı: 78,44±12,0 kg) oyuncusu katılmıştır. Katılımcılar rastgele yöntemle iki guruba ayrılmıştır. Çalışma öncesi tüm katılımcıların ön test olarak Sargent yöntemiyle sıçrama yükseklikleri ölçülmüştür. Daha sonra haftada üç gün, toplam dört hafta boyunca standart antrenman sonrası kontrol grubu hedef gösterilmeden 10 dikey sıçrama egzersizi yaparken, çalışma grubu ön test sonucunun %10 fazlası hedef gösterilerek 10 sıçrama çalışması yapmışlardır. Gösterilen hedefe bir çalışmada 3 defa ulaşan bir katılımcının hedefi %10 arttırılmıştır. Son test olarak her iki grubunda Sargent yöntemiyle maksimal sıçrama yükseklikleri tekrar ölçülmüştür. Grupların ön test ve son test ölçümlerine göre dikey sıçrama yükseklik değişimlerinin belirlenmesi için 2X2 tekrarlı ölçümler varyans analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışma sırasında hedef göstererek (55,66±6,7 cm) yapılan egzersizlerin kontrol grubuna oranla (50,56±7,70 cm) voleybolcularda maksimal sıçrama değerlerinin daha fazla arttığı (%13) tespit edilmiştir. Tartışma-Sonuç: Voleybol gibi dikey sıçrama performansının başarının en önemli belirleyicisi olduğu branşlarda sıçrama performansının geliştirilmesi için baş üstü hedef gösterilerek yapılacak egzersizler önerilmektedir.

Although velocity control in resistance training is widely studied, its utilization in eliciting post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) responses receives little attention. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of heavy-loaded barbell squats (BS) with velocity loss control conditioning activity (CA) on PAPE in subsequent countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. Sixteen resistance-trained female volleyball players participated in this study (age: 24 ± 5 yrs.; body mass: 63.5 ± 5.2 kg; height: 170 ± 6 cm; relative BS one-repetition maximum (1RM): 1.45 ± 0.19 kg/body mass). Each participant performed two different conditions: a set of the BS at 80% 1 RM with repetitions performed until a mean velocity loss of 10% as the CA or a control condition without CA (CNTRL). To assess changes in jump height (JH) and relative mean power output (MP), the CMJ was performed 5 min before and throughout the 10 min after the CA. The two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures showed a significant main effect of condition (p = 0.008; η2 = 0.387) and time (p < 0.0001; η2 = 0.257) for JH. The post hoc test showed a significant decrease in the 10th min in comparison to the value from baseline (p < 0.006) for the CNTRL condition. For the MP, a significant interaction (p = 0.045; η2 = 0.138) was found. The post hoc test showed a significant decrease in the 10th min in comparison to the values from baseline (p < 0.006) for the CNTRL condition. No significant differences were found between all of the time points and the baseline value for the CA condition. The CA used in the current study fails to enhance subsequent countermovement jump performance in female volleyball players. However, the individual analysis showed that 9 out of the 16 participants (56%) responded positively to the applied CA, suggesting that the PAPE effect may be individually dependent and should be carefully verified before implementation in a training program.
