TI  - Training repeated effort ability in national team male volleyball players.
PG  - 397-400
AB  - PURPOSE: This case study evaluated the effect of repeated lateral movement and 
      jumping training on repeated effort ability in a group of national team male 
      volleyball players. METHODS: Twelve volleyball players were assessed on their 
      volleyball-specific repeated movement and jumping abilities using a 
      volleyball-specific repeated effort test (RET) before and after 12 weeks of 
      training. The athletes performed between 8 and 9 volleyball training sessions per 
      week, with 5 to 6 of these sessions including specific training aimed at 
      improving repeated effort ability. Typically these training sessions involved 8 
      to 12 repetitions of 2 to 3 block jumps over a 9-m lateral distance (ie, the 
      athletes had to perform jumps and lateral movements, typical of front court play 
      in volleyball). Population-specific repeatability data were used to determine 
      whether any changes that may have occurred in this study were beyond the minimal 
      clinically important difference (MCID) for this testing procedure. RESULTS: 
      Improvements in all variables of the RET were observed for each athlete involved 
      in the study, with a small-to-moderate magnitude observed for the mean changes in 
      each variable (Cohen's d, 0.21 to 0.59). All of the improvements in the results 
      exceeded the MCID. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that the RET is 
      sensitive to training-induced changes. Lateral movement speed and repeated 
      lateral movement speed, as well as jumping and repeated jumping ability are 
      trainable qualities in high-performance volleyball players.
