Abstract :

Background and purpose: This study investigated the effect of sequence of concurrent exercises on physical fitness, fatigue index and spike performance in volleyball players.Material and Methods: 36 girl volleyball players (mean age 53 ± 27.63 years, body mass index 73.1 ± 1.7 mm / kg / m2) were divided into 3 groups (twelve in each group) including endurance- strength group, strength- endurance group and control group. Both experimental groups, completed their training sessions three times per week for eight weeks. Dependent T-test (P <0.05) with SPSS21 software was used to compare the results of pre and post tests and ANOVA test in order to find differences between groups. Compared to the control group, aerobic fitness, muscular endurance, muscular strength, lower extremity power, agility, fatigue index, and spike skill in both experimental groups significantly improved after eight weeks training (p <0.001). Results and conclusion: There was no significant difference between the two experimental groups (P <0.05). In summary, there is no priority in the consequence of concurrent exercises in order to more impressed aerobic fitness, muscular endurance, muscular strength, lower extremity power, agility, fatigue index, and spike performance in girl volleyball players.
