what are good exercises for Volleyball?????

Answer 1

Well you should train your legs working only your fast twitch muscles (the muscles that you use to stop quickly, run fast, and jump high) because working your slow twitch builds bulk and volleyball requires speed.

You can work out your fast twitch by lessening the amount of long distance running you o and focus more on sprinting, and jumping excercises, and excercises that cause you to "explode", or accelerate very rapidly, because its that "explosion" that will provide you the height needed to jump and focus power to hit, alo to reach for a dig. During practice, stay extremely low when playing defense, your thighs will have enough of a work out everyday with doing that it will also boost up your defense trmendously. Great excersises that focus on these are long and short distance sprints while competing with your team for the fastest player (will increase motive to really give 100 percent). Also, my favorite and the most greusome of leg work outs are the "rocket man"s. You do these by standing up and i guess crouch as low as you can, then with all your force jump, and touch your chest with your knees. Do these repetitively. If you can. lol. frog jumps help as well. you select a decent distance from where your at. And you will reach that distance, be a 100 feet or whatever you make it, by just jumping as fast as you can and as far as you can. Make sure to bring your legs all the way down so you can acheive that full "explosion" effect.

For upper body you want to focus a lot of shoulders and back, for these are groups tht are used excessively in volleyball. Ask your coach or trainer what workouts for back and shoulders are right for you. The abs is a key group of muscles commonly overlooked . Abs, being the core of your body, is where you draw strength an stability from, whether your trying to stay low on defense or spike or jump serve, your abs are utilized in all these. To work all your abs , use an inflatable yoga ball. Doing situps on these will increase the contraction and expansion of the abs during workouts, providing a harder and more effective work out.
good luck with your Training dude, and as a side not, drink water like a mad man, or woman, lol, and get LOTS of sleep. Later
