Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify:


The effectiveness of composite training based on Sprint Interval Training (SIT) and the applied training method in improving physiological indicators associated with oxidative stress, anaerobic capacity, heart rate recovery speed, and spike performance among young volleyball players.


The experimental method was used due to its suitability for the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of youth volleyball players from Akad Club, who were selected using a simple random method and divided into two groups: experimental and control. The research tools included selected indicators of oxidative stress, anaerobic capacity, heart rate recovery speed, and spike performance in volleyball. Homogeneity and equivalence between the two groups were ensured in the research variables.


The training program lasted for six weeks. After completing the implementation of the program and conducting the post-tests, the data were collected and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods, including the t-test for independent and paired samples, as well as calculating the effect size.


The results revealed that:


The composite training program based on Sprint Interval Training (SIT) was effective in improving oxidative stress indicators, anaerobic capacity, and heart rate recovery speed, which was positively reflected in the development of spike performance among young volleyball players.


The study recommended:


Adopting the composite training program based on Sprint Interval Training (SIT) within volleyball training programs due to its significant effectiveness in improving oxidative stress indicators, anaerobic capacity, heart rate recovery speed, and skill performance level.
