Abstract

  Backgroud:  This study aims to design and build a practical test to evaluate landing speed and neuromuscular control during technical jumps in volleyball among young players, to provide an accurate and objective tool to help coaches and researchers measure level of motor performance and reduce risk of injuries associated with incorrect landing. Methods: Researcher adopted descriptive approach with applied survey method, where test was applied to a sample of 63 Players from youth category, distributed across clubs in Diyala Governorate Diyala, Al-Khalis, Hibhib, Shahrban for 2026 sports season, were selected. A pilot study was also conducted on 5 players outside main research sample to ensure clarity of instructions and suitability of test items. Making necessary adjustments before actual application, data was collected and analyzed using SPSS statistical package. Results: Results showed that  test is a practical and reliable tool for assessing landing speed and neuromuscular control. It also showed a disparity in performance levels among players, which confirms need for targeted training programs to enhance neuromuscular control and correct landing. Conclusions: From this standpoint,  researcher concluded that  test represents an effective tool for assessing technical performance and preventing injuries, and recommends implementing periodic training programs with  use of  test to monitor development of players and improve team's level systematically.

Abstract

This study aims to help coaches and researchers measure level of defensive performance among players. The researcher used a descriptive approach, test was administered to a sample of 20 junior players from Al-Taawon Sports Club, representing a single group, test included four main criteria: ability to block shots, ball possession, anticipation and response, and defensive positioning. A specific scoring system was used to classify performance into excellent, good, average, and weak defense. The test was designed to allow for an objective and scientific evaluation of  players, enabling coaches to identify each player's strengths and weaknesses, thus contributing to systematic and organized improvement of defensive performance. Results showed that test is a practical and effective tool for developing players' defensive skills and motor abilities, enhancing their ability to participate effectively in matches and training. It can also be used to plan future training sessions according to individual needs of each player, contributing to raising overall level of team. The findings indicate that the majority of players fall into the “very good” and “good” performance categories, with the highest average score achieved in the areas of blocking and defensive positioning (4.0), while the area of anticipation and response had the lowest average score (3.8).
