Application of Strength Development Exercises for Female Students in Volleyball Courses in the Academic Year 2024 – 2025

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the effectiveness of applying strength development exercises for female students studying volleyball at Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy in the academic year 2024-2025. A controlled intervention study was conducted, applying 10 strength development exercises to female students from cohort K46 participating in volleyball courses over four months. The research results indicate that, compared to the control group, the intervention group, which incorporated strength development exercises, achieved superior performance. The average values for various indicators in the intervention group showed improvements ranging from 2.3 to 5.8 (p < 0.05), with growth rates increasing by 0.9-28% depending on the specific strength test. These findings demonstrate that strength training effectively supported female students in their volleyball studies.
