To the authors’ knowledge this is the first study to describe the strength and conditioning (S&C) practices and perspectives of volleyball coaches and players. In total, 30 volleyball coaches (mean age 34.47 ± 7.83 years and coaching experience 19.57 ± 8.28 years), and 30 volleyball players (mean age 22.03 ± 4.43 years and playing experience 10.43 ± 8.98 years) completed an online survey with six sections: (a) informed consent; (b) background information; (c) education, qualifications, and prescription; (d) views on S&C; (e) exercise selection and preferences; and (f) issues and improvements. Frequency analysis was used to report responses to fixed-response questions and thematic-analysis for open-ended questions. While only one participant possessed an S&C certification, S&C was deemed ‘important’ to ‘very important’ for volleyball skills, physical fitness, and injury parameters. However, due to a reported lack of expertise, there appeared to be a theoretical understanding to practice gap. Furthermore, the implementation of S&C was considerably hindered by a lack of time, facilities, and equipment. National sports associations, coaches, and players can use the information within this study to provide an understanding of the current practices and perspectives of S&C in volleyball. While also promoting future developments in S&C research and practice in volleyball.

排球教练和运动员的体能训练和观点


据作者所知，这是第一项描述排球教练和运动员的体能训练（S&C）实践和观点的研究。共有 30 名排球教练员（平均年龄 34.47 ± 7.83 岁，执教经验 19.57 ± 8.28 年）和 30 名排球运动员（平均年龄 22.03 ± 4.43 岁，比赛经验 10.43 ± 8.98 年）完成了一项包含六个部分的在线调查：（ a) 知情同意； (b) 背景资料； (c) 教育、资格和处方； (d) 对施恩禧的看法； (e) 运动选择和偏好； (f) 问题和改进。频率分析用于报告对固定答案问题的回答，以及对开放式问题的主题分析。虽然只有一名参与者拥有 S&C 认证，但 S&C 被认为对于排球技能、体能和伤病参数来说“重要”到“非常重要”。然而，由于据报道缺乏专业知识，理论理解与实践之间似乎存在差距。此外，由于缺乏时间、设施和设备，S&C 的实施受到很大阻碍。国家体育协会、教练和运动员可以利用本研究中的信息来了解排球中 S&C 的当前实践和观点。同时也促进排球S&C研究和实践的未来发展。
