Abstract
The research aims to investigate the relationship between certain kinematic variables (joint angles, distance, and time) and the accuracy of the spike in volleyball. The researcher hypothesized that there would be a statistically significant correlation between specific kinematic variables and the precision of the spike. A descriptive method was employed using cinematic filming and motion analysis, given the nature of the study. The research was applied to a sample of eight players from the national junior volleyball team, who were intentionally selected based on their physical attributes and proficiency in performing the spike. Data were collected by filming all attempts made by the players in order to evaluate performance and measure the targeted kinematic variables. Additionally, a spike accuracy test was used. The collected data were statistically analyzed using Pearson’s simple correlation coefficient to determine the strength and direction of the relationships. The results revealed a significant and positive correlation between certain kinematic variables and spike accuracy. Based on these findings, the researcher recommends conducting further studies on other kinematic variables that may be associated with spike accuracy in volleyball.
