Abstract

The purpose of this exploratory study was to assess the external jump-training load of different playing positions in male professional volleyball players during regular competitive microcycles. Five male elite volleyball players participated in this study. The sample was composed by five male elite volleyball players of a team from Portugal’s first division.was composed of 8,532 jumps were analyzed during 12 practice sessions of four competitive microcycles of the regular season (three practices in each microcycle). A descriptive design was implemented to analyze the number of jumps, jump heights, and rest time by players’ playing positions (middle blockers, setter, and outside hitters), by training sessions, and by microcycles. The jump height and jump moment were recorded using an inertial measurement device. The setter made a significantly greater number of jumps than middle blockers and outside hitters. Middle blockers and outside hitters accumulate their jumps in specific moments (frontcourt). No significant differences were found in the jump intensity with player positions and with different training days of the microcycle. Significant lower amount of jumps were found on the training day before the competition. Results show how the coach modified the jump-training load of the session in the day prior to the competition.
