ABSTRACT
Purpose:
The purpose of the study was to assess anaerobic endurance in volleyball players through repeated vertical jump performance under quiet and noisy conditions.
Methods:
A group of 12 female players aged 19–28 year completed six sets of eight standing vertical jump jumps; jump height and heart rate before and after the protocol were measured in quiet and noisy (fan cheering) conditions.
Results:
Maximum and minimum vertical jump heights were higher and intragroup differences were smaller in noisy than quiet conditions.
Conclusions:
Vertical jump testing, a measure of physical activity typical of volleyball, is suitable for monitoring training effects. The influence of noise typical during volleyball matches had a positive effect on player performance and anaerobic endurance.
