20 Overall physical training for volleyball 1. Improve the physical qualities in a longer perspective Developing maximal strength Squat (different knee angles), Power clean, Snatch, Over-head pull, Bench press, Core training Converting maximal strength to explosive power Squat jumps with extra loads, Plyometric training, Depth jumps, Medicine ball throws

21 Overall physical training for volleyball 1. Improve the physical qualities in a longer perspective Converting power production qualities to effective volleyball skill executions V ll b ll ifi t (bl k Volleyball specific movements (block movements, attack approach + jump, spikes, defending movements)

22 Overall physical training for volleyball 2. Maintain a high level of physical qualities for the whole season Long competitive season (5-7 (-11) months) It is wise to be in % condition for the whole season Tapering for the main events to 100 % condition

23 Overall physical training for volleyball 3. Prevent injuries Ankle, knee, back and shoulder injuries are common Volleyball loads body greatly Explosive movements Landings on bad body positions and on one leg Loading is quite one-sided

24 Overall physical training for volleyball 3. Prevent injuries Proprioceptive training Strengthening of the antagonist muscles of the volleyball muscles Hamstrings, seated row, rotator cuff exercises Core training i Landings on one leg Eccentric strength training for legs % of the physical training

25 Player role specific physical training Setters Jumps with no or with one step approach and higher knee angles Core stability with high hand position Stretching of the neck and shoulder muscles

26 Player role specific physical training Outsides and opposites Power production of legs, trunk, shoulder and arm Slightly lower knee angles in jumps and squats Throwing with longer hand movement

27 Player role specific physical training Middles Squats with higher knee angles Jumps with higher knee angles Throws with shorter hand movement Lateral movements (along the net)

28 Player role specific physical training Liberos Training in low positions Squats Core training Movements Dives
