Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to understand how the counter movement jump (CMJ) in volleyball was influenced by the anthropometric and kinematic variables. The sample was composed of 10 male volleyball players, all the athletes involved in study had participated in inter university competition at least. The subjects performed a series of 6 counter movement jumps using BTS G-Sensor. Average displacement, acceleration, maximum jump height, peak speed and take-off speed were extracted from the equipment. The anthropometric variables like Standing Height, Weight, Thigh Girth, Calf Girth, and Leg Length were also measured using the instructions opposed by Kansal. The study found that there was a significant negative correlation between a player's height (Anthropometric) and the distance (Kinematic) they were able to displace during the counter movement jump whereas other variables show no change with CMJ at 0.05 level of significance.
