Abstract

This study aimed to identify the correlation between types of strength and blocking volleyball skills in young volleyball players. The researcher employed a descriptive approach to address the research problem. The research sample was randomly selected and included 8 players from the youth category in volleyball. The instruments used in this study included personal interviews, tests and measurements, volleyballs, a timing device, a tape measure, adhesive tape, and a medical weighing scale. Additionally, the following tests were conducted: vertical and horizontal jump explosive force tests using the (time it) device, and jumping tests. The researcher performed statistical analyses using IBM SPSS Statistics (version 23). A statistically significant correlation was found between vertical explosive force and blocking skills (p<0.05). Additionally, a statistically significant correlation exists between horizontal explosive force and blocking skills (p<0.05). Furthermore, the strength characteristic of speed is also significantly correlated with blocking skills (p<0.05). There is a need for trainers to focus on the development of different types of strength, select players with muscle strength, disseminate results to trainers, and study other physical abilities and their connection to other skills.
