Implication

Randomised trial improved performance and reduced injury risk in collegiate volleyball players through targeted training, suggesting effective strategies for player safety.

Key Points

This research investigates how a specialized training program affects performance and injury prevention in volleyball players.
Participants included sixteen male college players aged 18-22 with at least 10 years of experience.
A 4-week training program targeted volleyball spikes, focusing on biomechanics.
Pre- and post-tests measured various variables such as center of mass and ground reaction forces using force platforms and statistical analysis.
Post-training, knee extension angular velocity and peak vertical ground reaction forces increased significantly (p < .05).
Statistical parametric mapping indicated enhanced knee flexion moments during specific phases (p < .001).
The center of mass achieved greater heights after training, and the minimum COM height decreased, improving landing mechanics.
