Abstract

This study aimed to explore the impact of a training program using elastic bands on selected physical and skill variables among volleyball players of Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie. Twenty male volleyball players were selected, their arithmetic average age was 20.45 years, and they were divided into two groups, (10) players for the pre-training test (control) and (10) players for the post-training test (experimental). The experimental group participated in an elastic band training program for two months. The data were analyzed using the statistical analysis program SPSS, and this was done by t-test to determine the differences between the pre- and post-measurements and the equivalence between the experimental and control group. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the post-measurement between the experimental and control groups for selected physical and skill variables among the volleyball players, in favor of the experimental group. The percentage and p values of change in these measure variables tests were the Spiking (20.51%; p=0.011), Blocking (18.18%; p=0.001), Vertical Jump from Standstill (9.71%; p=0.033), Vertical Jump from Movement (5.37%; p=0.037), Medical Ball Throws from Overhead (2.81%; p=0.022), Medical Ball Throws from Chest (3.23%; p=0.001), and Push-Up (35.80%; p=0.001). This study concludes that elastic band training represents a promising evolution in the development of volleyball players, and is considered a comprehensive approach to improving their physical and skill attributes and enhancing their overall abilities on the court. This study recommended conducting additional research and applying elastic band training in the field of sports performance.
