Abstract


In modern volleyball, technical proficiency is considered a fundamental determinant of competitive performance. Hence, the study was conducted to propose technical-performance tests in order to assess the current technical level and technical development of male volleyball athletes of the Saigon University team, Vietnam. To do it, the study employed document analysis and synthesis, expert surveys, pedagogical testing, and statistical methods. The research participants included 20 male athletes from the Saigon University volleyball team and 30 experts, specialists, and lecturers with extensive experience in volleyball coaching and training. Eight tests has been selected as follows: Serve reception from position 5 to position 3 (times), Topspin jump serves to the deep court (last 3 m) (times), Float jump serves to the deep court (last 3 m) (times), Outside attack from position 4 (times), Right-side attack from position (times), Quick middle attack from position 3 (times), Overhead set from zone 3 to zone 4 following reception from zone 5 (times), and Overhead set from zone 3 to zone 2 following reception from zone 5 (times). After one year of training, the athletes’ performances in all of the technical tests have shown improvements, with growth rates ranging from 4.55% to 6.27%. These improvements were noted statistically significant (P < 0.001).
