Vertical jump development in elite adolescent volleyball players: Effects of sex and age
Original language description
The purpose of this study was to examine and quantify sex and age-related differences in vertical jump performance assessed as vertical jumps height (VJH) and ground contact time (Tc) during repeated vertical jump tests within the Czech and Slovak population of elite adolescent volleyball players. Further aims were to compare the obtained results to non-athletic adolescent national normative data and investigate the relationship between basic anthropometric measures and VJH.: The cross-sectional study was conducted on 203 females and 180 males from 13 to 19 years old. ANOVA showed statistically significant differences in VJH between males and females (p < .001) and across the age categories (p < .001). Males performed better than females in each age group and VJH increased along with age. For females VJH reached a plateau at the age of 14 and then stagnated. Male players have lower Tc than females (p < .05), although age did not show significant influence on Tc in either females or males (p > .05). A correlation analysis revealed only weak sex specific correlations of VJH with body height, body mass and BMI.
