VOLLEYBALL

Volleyball originated in the United States at a YMCA club in Holyoke

in 1895 as Mintonette. It was invented by William G. Morgan, a physical
director of the YMCA club. He wanted to invent a not-so-strenuous indoor
game that businessmen in the club can play. Players strike the ball and it
volleys among the players, so it was later named Volleyball by a professor
from Springfield College in Massachusetts.

Volleyball quickly gained popularity among various YMCA branches

in the States and it was subsequently spread to other parts of the world
during the World War I by the American troops. Since, it is not a very
vigorous sport, women also took interest in the sport and started playing
Volleyball.
 Volleyball is played by two teams in a rectangular court, divided
into two equal halves across the length by a net tightly stretched between
two poles fixed at either sides of the court. It is one of most popular rally
games and is today widely played across the world.
The objective of the game is to try to make the ball touch the ground on
the opponent side. When the ball is hit by a team, the members of other
team hit it with their hands to prevent it from touching the ground and to
send it to another teammate or to the other side of the court across the net.
Only three players from the team can strike the ball successively before
they send it to the other team.

Volleyball allows players to pass the ball among teammates like

basketball, but the strategies of defending and attacking are similar to
other net or racquet games. Players try to shoot the ball over the net at
the opponent side where it is tough for the opponents to volley it. The
players of both teams have to prevent ball touching the ground thus
preventing the opponent to gain points.
 TEAM SIZE

Volleyball is played among two teams of six players each. A team may also have six more
substitute players. One of the players is team captain and one of them is Libero. Players are positioned
in two rows of three players each. The Libero is identified with a dress different from other team
members. He is a specialist in defending and cannot serve or move to the front court.

The team captain along with the coach is responsible for maintaining discipline in the team.
The team captain also represents the team and speaks about their team members concerns.

During competition, each team has a coach, one or two assistant coaches, a physiotherapist
and a doctor. These members sit along with substitute players on their team bench outside free zone.

HEALTH COMPONENTS OF VOLLEYBALL

The components of Health-Related Fitness are a basis from which to measure our general
wellbeing. It is the aim of exercise to improve our capabilities in each of these areas. Different sports
will be more demanding in some, and less demanding in others, but athletes usually strive to achieve a
reasonable level of health fitness in each area. Unless you are focusing on perfecting your body
performance for a particularly demanding sport, a balanced level of achievement in each of these
fitness components should be your goal. Your fitness program should include activities and exercises
that promote each of these health-related fitness components.

Components of Health-Related Fitness

Cardiovascular endurance is also referred to as

aerobic fitness, and is a measure of the athlete’s
ability to continue with exercise which places
Cardiovascular Endurance demands on the circulatory and respiratory system
over a prolonged period of time. This occurs in
activities such as running, walking, cycling and
swimming.
Flexibility is the measure of free movement in a
Flexibility person’s joints. This is especially important in
gymnastics.
Muscular strength is the maximal force that can be
Muscular Strength applied against a resistance. It could be measured
by the largest weight a person could lift or the
largest body they could push or pull.
Muscular endurance differs from muscular
strength in that it is a measure of a person’s ability
Muscular Endurance to repeatedly apply maximal force, for example in
a series of push-ups, over a period of time.

Body composition is usually measured by the

Body composition percentage body fat a person carries.
