The effect of a training curriculum using the Isotonian (moving) method to develop the special strength and serving skills of volleyball players

Abstract

The study aimed to prepare a training curriculum in the isotonic (moving) method to develop the special strength and serving skills of volleyball players and to know the effect of the training curriculum in developing the special strength and skill performance of serving for volleyball players. The researchers used the experimental approach in the manner of two equal groups to solve the research problem. The research sample consisted of (12) players from the Kirkuk University team, who were divided into two control and experimental groups, each group having (6) players. The exploratory experiment was conducted on (3) players who were chosen randomly. The data was processed statistically using the statistical package (SPSS version 12) - percentage - arithmetic mean - standard deviation - T-law for symmetrical samples. The researchers concluded that there are significant differences in the post-test of muscular ability (for legs) using isotonic training (moving) and performing serving skills in volleyball. The researchers recommend the necessity of using the training curriculum and the isotonic method to develop special strength, taking into account that the curriculum items suit the level and suitability of the sample.
