Anthropometric, Power, and Configuration of The Volleyball Game Between Sarawak and Penang Players
Abstract
This ex post facto research design was conducted to investigate the anthropometric aspects of power and small-sided volleyball game play configuration between Sarawak and Penang volleyball players. The performance of both teams was evaluated through the differences of height, power of leg muscles and skills execution (serve, digging and spiking) in 4 vs 4 volleyball game play. The sample of this research consists of volleyball player from both teams with 15 to 21 years old. The result indicated there was no significant differences between both teams players in term of height, t (30) = 1.696, p= 0.100. However, there was a significant difference in leg power (vertical jump) between the players from the two states, t (30) = 2.916, p = 0.007. Regarding skills execution, no significant differences were found in service skill in the 4 on 4 game play between both states t (30) = 0.808, p = 0.426. The same applied to digging skill in volleyball game play, t (30) = -0.486, p = 0.630 and spiking skill in volleyball game, t (30) = 1.623, p = 0.115. Moreover, tactical decision-making for opening and closing the space also showed no significant differences between the players from Sarawak and Penang, t (30) = 0.877, p = 0.387; t (30) = 0.939, p = 0.355. In conclusion, this finding proved that the development of volleyball game training between the two states are almost similar. It is suggested that volleyball player should focus on technical and tactical concurrently development in game play.
