Abstract

The purpose of the study is to find out the relationship among height, explosive power and shoulder strength on spiking ability of the university level players. To achieve the purpose of the studyfifteen male volleyball players from Annamalai University were selected to take part in the study. The following criterion variables spiking ability and independent variables (standing height, explosive power and shoulder strength were considered in the study. The selected variables were assessed by using standard testing procedures. The selected variables like height were measured by using stadiometer, explosive power by sergeant jump and shoulder strength by medicine ball throw. The spiking accuracy was measured by the trials spiked by the attackers in the special court markings in the spiking zones. In order to study the relationship between the criterion and determinant variables and the inter relationship between determinant variables were computed, using the method of Pearson’s product moment correlation. The level of significance was accepted at p < 0.05.
