The Relationship Between Vertical Jump Height and Negative Attack Performance According to Different Positions of Elite Male Volleyball Players

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate whether there is a relationship between the mean vertical jump heights and negative attack percentages of elite male volleyball players. The study was completed with 18 volleyball players (7 middle players, 8 spikers and 3 opposites). Vertical jump heights were measured with a Vert belt. Negative attack performance data were recorded with Data Voley4 professional software. According to the results, there was no correlation between the jump heights of the middle players and spikers and the negative attack data. In the case of opposite players, there was no correlation between ineffective attack and blocked attack and jump height, while there was a weakly positive correlation with attack error.
