Special Tactical Exercises According to Brain Dominance and Their Impact on Developing the Tactical Aspect of Volleyball Players Aged 12–14 Years

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of specially designed tactical exercises, tailored according to brain dominance patterns, on the development of certain tactical aspects among volleyball players aged 12–14 years. The researcher adopted the experimental method due to its suitability for the nature of the research problem. The sample consisted of 10 players from the Hit Sports Club, who participated in pre-tests before undergoing the training program. The program lasted 8 weeks, with an average of three training units per week. Each training unit included an educational component in which differentiation was made between right-brain-dominant and left-brain-dominant players in the method of exercise presentation. In the applied component of the unit, all players trained together regardless of brain dominance. Upon completion of the educational program, the results showed a clear improvement in the studied tactical aspects, indicating the effectiveness of the adopted training approach. Considering brain dominance contributed to enhancing players’ perception and understanding of the exercises, despite their complexity.
