Analysis Of Few Physical Characteristics Of College-Level Male Volleyball Players To Predict Their Playing Ability

Abstract

The study's goal was to predict college-level male volleyball players' playing prowess based on a few physical characteristics. In order to accomplish this, 255 male volleyball players, ages 17 to 25, were chosen at random from different colleges in the Indian state of Karnataka. In this study, predictor variables like physical attributes like speed, agility, flexibility, leg explosive power, muscular endurance, and cardio-respiratory endurance were used to forecast volleyball playing ability. Three certified volleyball coaches evaluated the playing ability, which was defined as the performance factor, subjectively. Pearson product moment correlation coefficients, step-by-step argument methods of multiple regressions to determine which predictor variable, based on each predictor's contribution, had the highest correlation with the criterion variables entered in the equation. The results revealed that the agility, leg explosive power and muscular endurance become the common characteristics which can predict the Volleyball playing ability among college level men players.
