Social jetlag affects jump skills in sub-elite volleyball players.

Social jetlag (SJL), resulting from misalignment between biological rhythms and social schedules, has emerged as a prevalent phenomenon in modern society, particularly among young athletes. However, the effect of SJL on performance is poorly studied. Jump and dynamic balance are two key skills in volleyball, as the first allows the player to perform better both during the offense and defense phase, and the second is fundamental in landing and in injury prevention. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the effect of SJL on jump skill performance and balance in female volleyball players. Thirty female volleyball players (mean age: 17.3 ± 0.88 years) participated in the study. SJL was assessed using the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ), integrated with Jankowsky's sleep-corrected formula. Jump skill performance was evaluated using a standardized jump test, the Vertec Jump Test, while balance was assessed with the Y Balance Test. The tests were performed at 09:00 a.m. and at 06:00 p.m. The results revealed that players with greater SJL exhibited decreased jump performance, characterized by lower vertical jump height (p = 0.02). Furthermore, players with lower SJL showed the typical difference between morning and afternoon performance (p = 0.001), demonstrating their synchronization between biological rhythms and social commitments, while no statistically significant difference between the two sessions was shown in players with higher SJL. Regarding balance, no significant association with SJL was found, but the morning session yielded lower results than the afternoon one (p = 0.01). These findings highlight the detrimental impact of SJL on jump skill performance, underscoring the importance of optimizing sleep-wake schedules and circadian alignment to enhance athletic performance. Future research should explore targeted interventions, such as sleep hygiene education, to minimize social jetlag and promote optimal performance in adolescent athletes.

Comparison of Electromyographic Characteristics of Volleyball Players in Stop-jumps: An Analysis at Different Speeds

The stop-jump is a crucial skill in volleyball, and analyzing its motion can greatly benefit the training of volleyball players. This paper analyzed 30 players from the volleyball team at Chongqing Normal University. To study the impact of running speed on lower limb muscle activity during stop-jumps, the players were randomly assigned the low-speed running group, the medium-speed running group, and the high-speed running group. Surface electromyography sensors were employed to collect electromyographic signals from the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and gastrocnemius muscles of the players during the execution of the stop-jump. The electromyographic indicators were calculated using the surface electromyography system’s built-in program, including the root-mean-square (RMS) electromyographic value and integral electromyographic (IEMG) value. The former represents the effective discharge value of motor units, which depends on the electromyographic amplitude and is related to the number of recruited motor units. The latter represents the discharge capacity of motor units involved in muscle activity per unit of time, reflecting the degree of muscle activation during exercise. Then, statistical analysis was performed on these calculated indicators using SPSS software. It was found that the stop-jump comprised three distinct stages: stop, jump, and flight. Regardless of the stage, the results indicated that the higher the speed of running, the greater the electromyographic indexes of the muscle groups. Additionally, when comparing electromyographic indexes across different stages, it was observed that the index values gradually decreased with the progression of each stage.

Abstract: This study explores the impact of a structured yoga program on athletic performance and academic success among volleyball players in Bhopal. A total of 120 players, aged 16-20, were recruited and randomly assigned to either a yoga group, which participated in daily morning yoga sessions, or a control group, which did not engage in any additional activity. The intervention lasted for three months, focusing on asanas, pranayama, and meditation tailored to enhance concentration, flexibility, and overall physical fitness. Athletic performance was assessed using standard volleyball skill tests, including serving accuracy, jump height, and agility drills, both pre and post-intervention. Academic success was measured through GPA scores obtained from school records at the same intervals. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to compare changes within and between groups. Results showed significant improvements in the yoga group compared to the control group in both athletic (p < 0.05) and academic (p < 0.05) performance post-intervention. Specifically, the yoga group exhibited a 15% improvement in serving accuracy, a 10% increase in jump height, and a 12% better performance in agility drills. Academic scores also improved by an average of 0.5 points on the GPA scale. ANOVA results confirmed that the enhancements in performance and academic scores were statistically significant, underscoring the efficacy of integrating yoga into the training regimen of athletes. This study suggests that incorporating yoga can effectively support the dual aspirations of athletic and academic excellence, offering a holistic approach to the development of young athletes in Bhopal.
