ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to know the Relationship between selected motor fitness variables and serving ability of intercollegiate volleyball men players. Methodology: In order to achieve the purpose of the study forty (40) inter-collegiate volleyball men players were selected as the subjects. During inter collegiate tournament of Visvesvaraya technological University from the data pertaining to the motor performances such as flexibility was assessed with the help of modified sit and reach test, speed was assessed with the help of 50 meter dash test, endurance was assessed with the help 600 yard run are walk test, shoulder strength was assessed with the help of medicine ball throw test, leg explosive strength was assessed with the help of standing broad jump, skill performance was assessed with serving ability test. Statistical Analysis the collected data was tested with coefficient of correlation statistical technique to test the Relationship between selected motor fitness variables and service ability of intercollegiate volleyball men players. Results: The statistical analysis shows coefficient of correlation in the Relationship between selected motor fitness variables and service ability of intercollegiate volleyball men players. Conclusion: The analysis of the study revealed that there was significant Relationship between selected motor fitness variables such as flexibility and shoulder strength and service ability of intercollegiate volleyball men players. and no significant relationship between selected motor fitness variables such as speed, endurance and leg explosive strength and service ability of intercollegiate volleyball men players.

Keywords: Volleyball, Service, flexibility, speed, endurance, shoulder strength, leg explosive power.
