Volleyball, Training Methods.
Physical Education Investigation
Introduction
In this essay I will be investigating upon the chosen sport of volleyball. In regards to this chosen sport, I will then create a fitness program which will assist me in excelling in the position of outside hitter (also known as the ‘power’), in which the job of the outside hitter to is spike (or tip) the ball over the net when an offensive play is called. The other positions in volleyball are fairly simple. The setter is the core component of the team, having the authority to set (or dig) all second balls to allow the team to advance into an aggressive offensive play. The inside hitter (also known as ‘weak’); being the same as an outside hitter except on the right-hand side of the court (this position benefits left-handed players). The middle; this player is the key to obliterating the other teams plays, the key to doing this is that the tallest player is used to block the opponents spike, rendering it useless. And lastly, the libero (also known as the defensive specialist); practically like the setter except receives all of the opponents spikes (or tips) by rapidly diving or digging the ball perfectly to the setter. The main rules of volleyball are also fairly simple. Players cannot ‘carry’ the ball (meaning no player has the ability to change the movement of the ball whilst in their control) and the ball must not touch the ground of their own side, if so the point is given to the opposing team. To win a full game of volleyball it is required (in FIVB) that a team wins 3 sets (a set is a game of 25).
Components of Fitness
Cardio Vascular Endurance
Cardiovascular endurance refers to ability of your lungs and heart to pump and supply oxygen into your working muscles throughout physical activities for a prolonged period of time.
Muscular Endurance
Muscular endurance refers to the ability of certain muscle groups to exert force for a prolonged period of time; being that the power exerted is not of maximum power.
