volleyball conditioning

Volleyball is a very popular sport in the South Bay. Volleyball requires high levels of explosive power, endurance and intricate teamwork.

 

Volleyball players training with one of our personal trainers can expect to:

  • Increase ankle and knee strength and stability
  • Increase vertical jump
  • Increase shoulder strength and stability
  • Increase endurance
  • Increase core strength

“Jump rate is a major concern for volleyball players, and is a significant contributor to injuries in all sports…..those who participated in sports with the highest “jump rate” had the greatest chance of being injured. Of course, volleyball is the sport with the highest jump rate…… Goodwin‐Gerberich…. evaluated the records of 106 patients treated for volleyball injuries and found that 63% were associated with jumping or landing.”
