The Effect of Training Methods whichUse Free Weights and Lifting Machines on the Development of Speed, Strength and Anaerobic Endurance, as well as Certain Functional Variables for Volleyball Players

Abstract

The aims of this research are designing two training methods, namely by using free weights and lifting machines and to identifying the effect of free weight training on the development of strength, speed and anaerobic endurance, as well as certain functional variables of volleyball players. As well as to identifying the effect of training by using lifting machines on the development of strength, speed and anaerobic endurance, as well as certain functional variables of volleyball players. Finally to identifying the differences between the two experimental groups during the posttests, concerning strength, speed and anaerobic endurance, as well as certain functional variables. The adopted method of research here is the experimental method, and the research population consists of twelve volleyball players of the Industrial Sport Club. The players were divided into two experimental groups. The results were shown, discussed and analyzed after performing the required statistical processes. In conclusion, training methods which use free weights and lifting machines resulted in the improvement of the speed, strength and anaerobic endurance, as well as certain functional variables. The experimental method of research which has been adopted had a positive and effective influence on the development of speed, strength and anaerobic endurance, as well as certain functional variables
