Purpose The performance of swing movement during spikes and serves plays a crucial role in determining the outcomes of volleyball matches. This study aims to explore the effects of the participation of the trunk and lower limbs’ involvement on the velocity and power of the swing movement of adolescent male volleyball players, as well as the differences in power and velocity performance of the swing movement among different ages and specific positions. Methods The study involved 22 adolescent male volleyball players, with 11 high school students and 11 middle school students. The Kineo Globus equipment was used to assess the swing movement performance involving different segments, including arm swing movement only involving arm limb participation; upper swing movement involving trunk and arm limb participation; and whole body swing movement involving lower limb, trunk, and arm limb participation. The measured parameters included power and velocity performance levels. Before the test, each subject practiced three movement patterns twice. Results The study found that swing movement involving both the trunk and arm limbs had significantly higher average (F = 17.70, p < 0.001) and peak power performance (F = 31.47, p < 0.001), as well as in average (F = 9.14, p = 0.03) and peak velocity performance (F = 23.17, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in average (F = 17.70; p = 0.46) and peak power (F = 31.47, p = 0.94), as well as in average (F = 9.14, p = 0.99) and peak velocity performance (F = 23.17, p = 0.90) between movements involving the whole body and those involving the trunk and upper limbs. Among different age groups, the swing movement performance of middle school athletes showed significant enhancements in both average (F = 9.20, p < 0.001) and peak power (F = 19.93, p < 0.001), as well as in average (F = 10.75, p < 0.001) and peak velocity (F = 34.35, p < 0.001) when arm swing with trunk involvement was compared to arm swing movement. High school athletes also showed significant improvements in peak velocity (F = 34.35, p < 0.001), peak power (F = 17.31, p < 0.001), and average power (F = 9.41, p < 0.001) during upper swing movements, except for average velocity performance (F = 1.56, p = 0.21), when compared to arm swing movement. The increase rate in average velocity performance of swing movements involving trunk participation was significantly higher in middle school athletes than in high school athletes (p < 0.001). Among athletes in specific positions, Middle Blocker (MB) players exhibited significantly better average power performance in swing movements involving trunk and arm limb participation compared to Outside Hitter (OH) players (p = 0.04). Furthermore, the rate of average (p = 0.01) and peak (p = 0.03) power change during upper swing movements involving lower limb participation was significantly higher among OH players than MB players. Conclusions The involvement of the trunk segment has been observed to significantly improve power and velocity in swing movements during spike and serves among adolescent male volleyball players. This underscores the importance of coordination between the trunk and arm in influencing swing movement performance during spikes and serves. High school athletes demonstrate superior power and velocity in arm swing movements compared to middle school athletes. MB exhibits greater power in upper limb swing movements than OH, although OH players show better coordination between the arm, trunk, and lower limb segments in the swing movement. To enhance swing movement performance in adolescent male volleyball players, particularly focusing on the trunk segment was crucial. Specialized physical training programs should target improving both arm strength and rotational power of the trunk simultaneously. This approach would help in consistently enhancing coordination between the trunk and arms, ultimately leading to optimized force generation during swing movements such as spikes and serves.

“…Closed Kinetic Chain Upper-Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) . This upper-extremity functional performance test is also performed in a closed-kinetic chain position and has been shown to be a reliable (test re-test reliability ICC = 0.82–0.98) method to assess power, velocity, and stability ( Borms & Cools, 2018 ; Declève, Van Cant & Cools, 2021 ; Goldbeck & Davies, 2000 ; Tucci et al, 2014 ). The participant adopts a four-point position on the floor, with their hands 91.4 cm apart (marked with two parallel strips of adhesive tape on the 30 cm floor) and with their shoulder’s perpendicular to their hands.…”

“…After one familiarization trial, three maximal-effort trials were executed with a 45-s rest between sets. The average number of touches of the three maximal-effort trials were calculated and were normalized by height in meters (touches/m) to each participant ( Declève, Van Cant & Cools, 2021 ). The three normalized trials were used to determine intra-rater reliability of this tool.…”

“…For the bilateral SMBT, the participants held a 2-kilogram (kg) medicine ball with shoulders in 90° abduction and elbows flexed, so that the ball was placed at the centre of their chest. The participant then pushed the ball away from the centre of their chest in a straight line as far as possible, using a motion similar to a basketball chest pass ( Borms & Cools, 2018 ; Cigercioglu et al, 2021 ; Declève, Van Cant & Cools, 2021 ; Harris et al, 2011 ). For the unilateral component of the test, participants held a 2 kg medicine ball with their dominant hands and placed their shoulders in 90° abduction (in the scapular plane) and their elbows in 90° flexion.…”

Background It has been well established that proprioception plays a decisive role in shoulder stability and sport performance. Notwithstanding, there is a lack of clear association between active joint position sense (AJPS) and the performance of upper-extremity functional performance tests. The aim of this study was to determine whether the AJPS of the shoulder complex is associated with the performance of college volleyball players with the following functional tests: Y-Balance Test-Upper Quarter (YBT-UQ), Closed Kinetic Chain Upper-Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), and Seated Medicine Ball Throw (SMBT). The secondary aim was to investigate whether the magnitude of the proprioception error through the AJPS had the ability to act as a predictor for functional test scores. Methods Cross-sectional study with a convenience sampling. Healthy college volleyball players (≥12 h of training/week), 30 males and 22 females, between 18 and 26 years of age were included. AJPS of the shoulder (90° of flexion (90°Flex), 90° of internal rotation at 90° of abduction (90°IR/ABD), 90° of external rotation at 90° of abduction (90°ER/ABD)) and three upper-extremity functional performance tests (YBT-UQ, CKCUEST and SMBT) were assessed. A Pearson’s test and a stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were used to determine possible associations and relationships between outcome measures, respectively. Results The analysis revealed that AJPS at 90°IR/ABD and 90°ER/ABD were the only proprioceptive variables with an association to the YBT-UQ and SMBT. Despite these relationships, only the AJPS at 90°IR/ABD was associated with the performance of the YBT-UQ in; superolateral direction (β = −0.7; 95% CI [−1.3 to 0.1]; p = 0.025); inferolateral direction (β = −1.5; 95% CI [−2.1 to −0.8]; p = 0.001); and composite score (β = −0.8; 95% CI [−1.3 to −0.3]; p = 0.002). From these, AJPS at 90°IR/ABD mainly explained the variability of YBT-UQ (inferolateral direction) performance (R2 = 0.32; %R2 = 0.32). Our findings allow for a possible expanded role for proprioception as a contributing factor in upper limb motor control during functional movements. Further research is required to explore and distinguish the associations between proprioception, motor control and sport performance involving the upper limbs.

“…Force energy generations in locomotive shoulder activity and their planing to provide rotational flexibility of movement are frequently mentioned in the literature [6]. However, the reason why functional training is applied in the upper compartment is to provide potential muscle mass increases and strengthening in appropriate movements in athlete [7].…”

Objectives: Postural muscle force leads to a increase in functional movement and associated ability of strength. The author examined changes in shoulder and humerus strength, maximum isometric joint angular degree force after functional upper strength training in volleyball players. They evaluated isometric joint angular force degree as predictors of functional strength.Materials and methods: Twenty four participant (average to 19.03 ± 1.54 age) were randomized to a 4-wk upper compartment functional strength program or control group.Results: Functional strength group increased significantly (p < 0.05) for all angular strength. Compared with controls, to functional strength led to greater at 45° angular strength (p = 0.011) dominant hand, non-dominant hand angular strength (p = 0.001), greater 90° angular strength (p = 0.014) dominant hand, non-dominant hand angular strength (p = 0.001). Shoulder and humerus muscle-tendon isometric strength were good predictors of functional strength. Conclusion:The authors concluded functional strength training in strength development is a important factor for shoulder-humerus postural force and a key target for upper compartment functional interventions.
