“…This includes serving, passing, attacking, and defence techniques (Issa & El-Tayeb, 2017;Rajidin et al, 2022). In addition, training includes the development of physical strength, endurance, and flexibility that are important in the complex movements of volleyball (Iermakov et al, 2022). Mental aspects are also highly relevant, helping athletes manage competitive pressure, improve focus, and develop mental resilience (Beattie et al, 2019;Musa et al, 2021).…”

Background Problems: The main focus on improving the performance of volleyball players and teams is through training that covers various aspects. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyse and explain trends and developments in the scientific literature regarding volleyball training over the past five years while identifying the most frequently featured training concepts, methods, and techniques in bibliometric studies in the field over the same period. Methods: Publication records between 2019 and 2023 were extracted from Scopus and the Web of Science, after which the bibliographic data set was administered using ScientoPy and VOSviewer. A term search was conducted with the keywords “training” OR “exercise” OR “practice” AND “volleyball”. Findings and Results: Results showed a total of 1.105 papers were published over the past five years, with 2022 recording the highest number of articles. The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health was the most prolific source, with 45 papers, and Clemente, F. M., was the most published author. The United States was the leading contributor in this research domain with 137 papers. The most frequently highlighted training concepts, methods, and techniques in this topic included vertical jumps, biomechanics, body composition, muscle strength, power, endurance training, injury prevention, agility, balance, and countermovement jumps. Conclusion: The results of this study emphasise the importance of developing training-related knowledge in volleyball. For future research contributions and recommendations, some things that can be taken into consideration are increased interdisciplinary studies, more applied research, use of technology in training, focus on health and injury prevention, comparative studies between countries, and research related to youth training in volleyball. This research provided a strong foundation for further development in understanding and optimising the training of volleyball players in the future.

Background and Study Aim. Military conflicts significantly stress students in affected areas, impacting their physical well-being and motivational factors. This study aims to assess motivation levels for physical activity among university students in conflict-impacted regions of Ukraine. Materials and Methods. The study involved 196 students from three Ukrainian universities, two in the eastern region (Kharkiv - included in the list of territories of active military operations) and one in the western part (Ivano-Frankivsk - a territory that is under constant threat of shelling). A short-form 'Physical Activity Questionnaire' (PAQ) with seven Likert scale questions was used. Statistical analysis was performed using PyCharm CE and Python libraries. Metrics like mean, standard deviation, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability were calculated. Bartlett's test of sphericity and Principal Axis Factoring were employed, with a statistical significance threshold set at p<0.05. Results. The questionnaire's reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.872. Bartlett's test of sphericity indicated suitable data for factor analysis, with a Chi-Square value of 641.808 and a p-value < 0.05, affirming good construct validity. University students from the Eastern part of Ukraine show average motivation levels for physical activity of 25.0 and 27.193, respectively. University students from the Western part of Ukraine have the highest average motivation level at 29.234. This indicates stronger motivation for physical activity in the Western region. Additionally, male students showed higher average motivation scores than females. Conclusions. Students living in different regions of Ukraine have varying motivations for physical activity in the context of the military conflict. Students from the western part of Ukraine (an area subjected to periodic military shelling) show a higher interest in engaging in physical activities compared to students from the eastern part (a zone of active military operations).

Background and Study Aim. Considering the growing interest in high-intensity training (HIT) among the youth, it is crucial to explore its impact not only on improving physical fitness but also on the overall health of adolescents. The aim of this study was to assess how HIT can contribute to the development of physical qualities in adolescents while minimizing the risks of excessive strain. Materials and Methods. The study encompassed 28 students (14±0.9 years) from a lyceum in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The participants were divided into a control group (CG, n=14; including boys - n=7 and girls n=7) and an experimental group (EG, n=14; including boys - n=7 and girls n=7). The EG participated in high-intensity training sessions twice a week, with each session lasting 20 minutes. The program's effectiveness was evaluated using a series of physical ability tests. PyCharm Community Edition integrated development environment was used for the analysis and visualization of the obtained data. The software code was written in Python. The experiment was conducted in Kharkiv (Ukraine), located in a war zone since February 2022. The requirements of the military administration for ensuring the safety of experiment participants were observed. Results. After the training program, boys from the EG showed improvement in tests on speed, coordination, and motor skills (p<0.05). Girls in the EG demonstrated significant improvement in the "Sit-up from a sitting position in 30 seconds" test (p<0.05), as well as improvements in speed and coordination tests. Conclusions. High-intensity workouts can be effectively integrated into the physical education program for teenagers, provided that caution is exercised and the workload is monitored. The results confirm that such an approach contributes to the development of physical qualities and supports the health of teenagers. This suggests a nuanced understanding of how such programs can be optimized for different genders to enhance physical education outcomes.
