Defensive performance in terms of VO2max and motor flexibility in young Volleyball players

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in identifying defensive performance, maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂max), and motor flexibility among volleyball players, and understanding the relationship between them. It also aims to predict defensive performance in terms of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) and motor flexibility among young volleyball players. What is the relationship between defensive performance, maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂max), and motor flexibility among young volleyball players? Identifying the relationship between defensive performance, maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂max), and motor flexibility among young volleyball players. The researchers used a descriptive approach using a survey method to measure variables, and a correlational approach to determine the relationship between variables and predictive studies to predict defensive performance in terms of maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂max) and motor flexibility among young volleyball players. The research community was determined as young volleyball players at Al-Qasim Club, numbering (20) players for the 2025-2026 sports season. Volleyball players have good defensive performance, maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂max), and motor flexibility. The necessity of giving specific lectures to volleyball players. Youth during training sessions by a specialist in psychological counseling and sports psychology.
