Observational study reveals shifting physical workloads across competitive phases in high school volleyball players, indicating training volume inversely counterbalances match demands.

Key Points

To evaluate differences in training and match workload per set across preseason, tournament, and district competition phases in female high school volleyball players.
Monitored 12 female high school volleyball athletes across preseason, tournament, and district phases using wearable tracking devices.
Quantified total jumps, high jumps, movements per minute, kinetic energy expenditure, and stress percentage during all practices and matches.
Match volume peaked during the district phase, showing significantly more total jumps per set (16.5 ± 9.9 vs. preseason 4.4 ± 2.3, p ≤ .001) and higher kinetic energy expenditure (488 ± 174 vs. preseason 201 ± 94 J/lb/set, p = .001).
Training volume was highest in preseason, with greater total jumps (70.9 ± 26.0 vs. tournament 44.3 ± 19.3, p < .001; district 34.7 ± 3.4, p = .004) and kinetic energy expenditure (1,645 ± 547 vs. tournament 980 ± 506 J/lb, p = .018; district 1,108 ± 362 J/lb, p = .016).
