• Burns calories and fat: One of the primary benefits of volleyball is that it

S
helps you burn calories, which is an important component of a weight

s
loss or maintenance program.

• Harvard Medical School reports a person can burn between 90 to 133

ol
calories during a half-hour game of non-competitive, non-beach

ch
volleyball, depending on a person’s weight, while a competitive gym

S
game of volleyball burns between 120 to 178 calories. An hour-long
on
game of volleyball on the much less stable ground of sand can burn up
to 480 calories.

Improves hand-eye coordination: Volleyball is all about hand-eye coordination.
on
When you serve, you must follow the ball with your eyes, and strike the ball at the
iz
or

right point. On defence, you must react to where the ball is going and get in
H

position to make a play. While setting, your hand-eye coordination helps you see
where your hitters are, to make sure to give them a good set.

MOTOR FITNESS DEVELOPMENT

• Builds agility, coordination, speed, flexibility and

S
balance: Due to its quick changes of pace and direction,

s
volleyball places a large number of demands on the

ar
technical and physical skills of a player. During the course

ol
of play, players are required to serve, pass, set, attack,

ch
block and dig the ball. These skills require flexibility, good

S
balance, upper and lower body strength and speed in
on
order to be played effectively.

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT

A
l,
oo
ch
• Builds muscular strength: Volleyball requires a

S
strong chest and core muscles for nearly

s
every play. When you pass, you mimic a squat,

ar
and you must use your legs to generate power.

ol
When you set, you must use arms, legs, and

ch
hands, especially your thighs. When the ball is

S
coming to you, you need to load your legs and
on
arms, and push up. Your hands need to be
iz
strong to prevent injury.
