Abstract

Physical fitness, which is crucial for both health and skills, plays a pivotal role in volleyball performance. The research methodology employed a comparative design involving 72 junior volleyball players (36 men and 36 women) selected through purposive sampling. Health-related fitness parameters assessed included VO2Max and flexibility, while skill-related parameters encompassed speed, agility, power, and coordination. Data analysis utilized independent t-tests to identify significant differences between the two groups. The findings indicated that male volleyball players exhibited significantly higher VO2Max values (X = 31.29 ml/kg/min) compared to female players (X = 28.33 ml/kg/min) with a p-value of 0.001. Conversely, female players demonstrated superior flexibility (X = 36.06 cm) compared to male players (X = 33.40 cm) with a p-value of 0.028. Regarding skill parameters, male players outperformed in speed (X = 6.92), agility (X = 18.72), and power (X = 50.66), all with p-values < 0.05. On the other hand, female players exhibited better coordination (X = 5.11) compared to male players (X = 3.94) with a p-value of 0.003. In conclusion, there are significant disparities in various physical fitness parameters related to health and skills between male and female junior volleyball players.
