Impact of Enhancing Balance and Strength in Young Volleyball

Abstract

Balance training has the potential to improve performance in selected components of muscle development by focusing on balance training, muscle strength, power, and movement speed during directional changes. An essential element in improving volleyball performance is balance training, which also has a positive effect on addressing posture problems in volleyball players. While heavy training may positively impact an athlete's performance, it can also have negative effects, particularly regarding the risk of injury to these players in various parts of the body. Methodology: Studies were selected to review protocols for measuring balance and posture, as well as exercise programs that have been used to enhance balance, strength, and spinal health. The literature referenced comes from electronic data sources on websites such as PubMed, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and Scopus, primarily from the last 10 years. Considering that the works cited in this material are among the quality studies addressing the phenomenon of postural asymmetry, balance, and strength, both in the context of scientific research and in developing quality and sustainable training programs for youth volleyball, for both men and women, we have formulated and organized theoretical concepts along with testing and intervention protocols to meet the goals and objectives of our study.
