male interuniversity and intercollegiate players. Twelve (6 Intervarsity and 6
Intercollegiate level) volleyball players were selected as the subjects for the study. The
mean age, height and body mass of intervarsity players were 23 years (± 2.28 years),
177.77 cm (± 5.43 cm) and 64.67 kg (± 5.95 kg), respectively, whereas intercollegiate
players were 21.33 years (± 1.71 years), 166.5 cm (± 3.30 cm) and 63.17 kg (± 4.93 kg),
respectively. All subjects were right-handed volleyball players. The players were
allowed to have warm-up and trials. Each subject was asked to do the tennis service.
Three services were recorded from one side of the body with a high speed camcorder
(Canon Legria HF S10) operating at 1/2000 Hz with a frame rate of 60 frames per
second. Data were collected from the movement onset until the ball crosses the net. The
camcorder was placed on a tripod at the height of 5 feet on the right angle of the subjects
at a distance of 10 meters away to the side-line. Recorded data were digitized with the
help of Silicon Coach Pro-7 motion analysis software. The selected biomechanical
variables were: the ball height, shoulder joint angle, elbow joint angle, wrist joint angle
and ball velocity. The t test was used for statistical analysis of the data by using SPSS-18
version software. The results revealed insignificant differences between intervarsity and
intercollegiate level male volleyball players in their shoulder, elbow and wrist angle,
ball height, ball velocity and hand velocity. | | Keywords : | | - volleyball
