Abstract


Inroduction: Mastery of fundamental techniques, leg power, and coordination is a crucial

determinant of performance in adolescent volleyball athletes. However, many young athletes

face limitations due to training methods that lack variation, do not match their developmental

characteristics, and do not properly emphasize comprehensive biomotor development. These

issues often result in suboptimal improvement in their essential skills.

Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of specific training methods on enhancing

fundamental techniques, leg power, and coordination among youth volleyball athletes, as well

as to evaluate the effectiveness of each training method in supporting athletic performance

development.

Methods: An experimental design was used by implementing two types of training programs—

agility hurdle and agility ring—to adolescent volleyball players over a structured training

period. Measurement instruments included fundamental skills tests, leg power assessments,

and coordination tests administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention.

Data were analyzed to determine changes in athletes’ abilities following the training.

Results: The results indicate that both training methods significantly improved fundamental

volleyball skills, particularly in passing, serving, and spiking. Notable enhancement in leg

power was observed through increased jump performance and movement explosiveness.

Coordination improvements were more pronounced in athletes with higher initial coordination

levels, suggesting that baseline ability influences training outcomes.

Conclusion: Structured, varied, and well-targeted training methods are effective in improving

fundamental skills, leg power, and coordination in adolescent volleyball athletes. These

findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate training strategies as a foundation for designing more effective and sustainable athlete development programs.
