The explosive power of the upper and lower extremities and its relationship to the accuracy of the spike serve in volleyball

The present study aimed to examine the relationship between the explosive power of both the upper and lower extremities and the accuracy of performing the spike serve in volleyball. A descriptive research design was adopted as the most appropriate method for addressing the research problem. The study sample consisted of ten players from hit sports club specializing in volleyball. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher selected a set of standardized physical and technical tests aligned with the research aims. After analyzing and discussing the results, the findings revealed a statistically significant correlation between the explosive strength of the upper and lower limbs and the accuracy of executing the spike serve skill. Based on these findings, the study concluded that explosive muscular power plays a decisive role in the quality of technical performance in volleyball. Accordingly, the researcher recommended giving priority to developing explosive strength in training programs, as it has a direct and measurable effect on the accuracy and effectiveness of the spike serve.
