Effect of Exercises Using Rubber Ropes to Develop the Explosive Power of the Upper and Lower Extremities and the Accuracy of Spiking Skill of Volleyball

Abstract

          The study aimed to prepare exercises using rubber ropes to develop the explosive power of the arms and legs and the spiking accuracy of volleyball players, and to know the effect of the training curriculum prepared in developing the research variables, while the research hypotheses were that there is a positive effect of rubber rope exercises in the development of the explosive power of the arms and legs and the accuracy of the spiking of volleyball, the community and the research sample were chosen by the deliberate method, which consisted of the players of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences / Anbar University team for the 2019/2020 academic year, whose number was (14) players. The Libero players were excluded for not participating in the attack process, so that (12) players remain representing Research sample, in addition to statistical means, the results of the research were also presented and discussed, through which it was reached to achieve the objectives and hypotheses of the research, and the researchers reached a set of conclusions and recommendations, including that there is a statistical indication in the results of the research in all study variables and for the benefit of post-tests, and exercises for the use of rubber ropes had a positive effect on developing the explosive power of the upper and lower extremities and the precision of volleyball striking skill. The researchers recommend the necessity to implement exercises for the use of rubber ropes to develop some of the physical and skill abilities of volleyball players, and the need for coaches to pay attention to developing the explosive ability of the upper and lower extremities because of their essential role in developing the level of skillful performance of volleyball players. The performance of exercises for the use of training auxiliary tools had a positive effect in developing the accuracy of the skill of spiking volleyball, and the researchers recommended the use of special exercises and circulating them to trainers working in this field to benefit from them, and the need to use training tools to assist in developing the accuracy of the spiking skill of volleyball .
