Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify, analyze and compare the kinematic parameters involved in short set and high set front row spike in volleyball. Eight interuniversity male volleyball players participated in this study as subjects. Spiking action was filmed by a digital video camera operated at 24fps. Power DVD software was used to analyze the selected kinematic parameters of the recorded movements. The results indicated that the short set front row spike had a greater approach speed and shorter spike time than that of high set front row spike. The high set front row spike, on the other hand, had a greater mean values for approach length, vertical velocity, rising of Cg. and ball impact height than those of short set front row spike.
