Unique Demands of Volleyball

---

Volleyball places significant importance on explosive movements from muscles such as quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Whether jumping to spike a ball or lunging to dig one, a strong lower foundation is essential to success in the sport. Rotational hip and shoulder motions also are important parts of functional movement in volleyball.

Weighted lunge twists, Good Mornings, and dumbbell snatches are all effective volleyball performance training exercises. Additionally, Russian twists and 10-2 drops are useful exercises to use to strengthen shoulders and core. Starting with a personalized biomechanical analysis, SPU will create a training regiment to improve individual athletic performance, translating to team success on the field.
