The effect of some variable characteristics on serving performance in 12-14 YEAR old female volley-ball players

This study was conducted to examine the effects of several variable characteristics on serving performance in female volleyball players aged 12-14. A total of 15 volunteer female volleyball players, aged 12 to 14, participated in the study. Height, body weight and numerous kinantropometrik measurements of the volleyball players participating in the study were made. In order to determine volleyball service skills, ASPET test was used. To determine isometric strength, claw, leg and back strength tests were used. Anaerobic performance determination, on the other hand, was used with the vertical jump test. Evaluating the relationships between volleyball-specific service test and body composition, strength, and anaerobic performance values were done using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient method. According to the results of Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis, a relationship was found between volleyball-specific serving skills and some body composition variables and anaerobic performance variables. As a result, the findings of the study showed that some body composition and anaerobic performance variables played a decisive role in the performance of volleyball-specific service skills.
