Šiauliai men‘s volleyball team players anthropometric data, anaerobic capacity and psychomotor indicators changes in a preparation and competition training cycle

Athletes anthropometric, physical, psychomotor athletes skills changes during the preparation and competition cycle of the season are interested in not only the coaches or athletes, but also for students who plan to work in a coaching job. Therefore, it is appropriate to conduct studies on anthropometric, physical, psychomotor indicators of change of the preparation and competition cycle. It is expected that the study will help the coaches choose effective test to measure the capacity of athletes and will be a guide to what results should be achieved in a given training cycle phase. The aim of the study was – to analyze anthropometric data, anaerobic capacity and psychomotor indicators changes in a preparation and competition training cycle of Šiauliai men‘s volleyball team. Research methods. The study involved 11 Šiauliai men’s volleyball team players, aged 22.6 ± 3.05 years. Researches were made in Šiauliai University wellness, hippotherapy and sport center.

The study showed that Šiauliai men volleyball team athletes percentage distribution of fat decreased significantly from 13.9 % to 8.8 % (p0.05), but noticeable performance increase. Conclusions: 1. Examination of Šiauliai men’s volleyball team anthropometric data results showed a statistically significant difference between the percentage of body fat decrease (p0.05), but noticeable performance increase. 2. Anaerobic capacity analysis results showed a statistically significant improvement athletes maximum power and power reduction rates (p0.05). Single muscle contraction, jumps with and without hands thistles, a statistically significant difference was found between second and third jumps sailing (p0.05), but noticeable right hand dominance of the left hand and shortening reaction time. The analysis of movement frequency indicators observed that Teping test, all three results significantly deteriorates to 20 sec. (p0.05)
