Abstract
Introduction and Importance of the Research: The introduction highlights that volleyball is a team sport that requires specific physical preparation in order to enhance the efficiency and capability of the player during performance. From this perspective, the importance of the research emerges, as the success of defensive skills contributes to proper offensive preparation. Therefore, the researcher conducted a study on the relationship between physical abilities and the level of defensive performance in volleyball. The research problem lies in the lack of focus on training certain physical abilities, which are considered among the most essential components in volleyball. This lack of focus affects the level of defensive skill performance. Hence, the researcher saw the need to conduct a study to identify the correlation between physical abilities and the level of defensive performance in volleyball. Research Objective: To identify the correlation between some physical abilities and the level of defensive performance in volleyball. Research Hypothesis: There is a statistically significant correlation between physical abilities and the level of defensive performance in volleyball. Conclusions: Agility showed a significant correlation with serve reception in zones A and B, as well as with court defense. Power distinguished by speed showed a significant correlation with serve reception in zone A and B, as well as with court defense. Recommendations: It is essential to emphasize specificity in training, as it enhances both the physical and skill levels of the player simultaneously. It is important to conduct periodic tests and analyze the physical and skill levels according to those tests before, during, and after the training program. This helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of the training plan and provides guidance for making necessary adjustments
