The comparison of left-handed vs. right-handed player via using additional weighting on development of explosive strength and speed strength and electrical some of the upper extremities for the attack serve in volleyball players

Abstract

Training methods are basic and main instrument of the influence on physical and skill levels as well as training by additional weighting is a training style which assists to approach to maximum degree of effectiveness via using strength. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differences in explosive strength, speed strength, and electrical upper extremities gains for the attack serve in left-handed and right-handed volleyball players between ten weeks of additional weighting training. A secondary purpose was to determine whether differences in gains were observed at a larger rate between left-handed and right-handed. Ten college-aged volleyball players were split into the groups based on gender and pre-training performance measures. Work was equated between the two groups. After 10 weeks of additional weighting training, both groups significantly improved their explosive strength, speed strength, and electrical upper extremities following 10 weeks of training. However, first experimental group improved significantly better than the other. The results of this study suggest that performing 10 weeks of additional weighting training is effective for improving explosive strength, speed strength, and electrical upper extremities; thus, coaches should choose the program which best suits their training schedules.
