본 연구의 목적은 좌식배구선수들의 필드체력 및 배구기술과의 상관성을 알아보고 이를 토대로 필드체력 향상프로그램을 적용하여 효과를 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 좌식국가배구선수 11명을 대상으로 필드체력(chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, side one hand throw, splint test, T-test, speed agility, speed endurance, GXT, reaction time, shoulder back scratch)과 배구기술을 측정하여 상관관계를 분석한 후 이를 토대로 필드체력 향상프로그램을 주 5회 80분씩 적용하여 전문 트레이너 지도하에 체력훈련 후 효과를 검증하였다. 배구기술의 공격은 chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint test, reaction time, GXT total time과 상관성이 높았으며, 서브에서는 chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint test, grip strength와 상관성이 있었다. 블로킹은 chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint test, reaction time, GXT total time, grip strength와 리시브는 speed agility, speed endurance와 상관성이 있었다. 필드체력향상프로그램적용 8주 후에는 chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint, speed agility, speed endurance, GXT total time, 공격, 서브, 블로킹이 향상되었다. 결론적으로 좌식배구의 경기의 승패는 우수한 좌식배구기술과 필드체력이 필요하다. 체력훈련 전문가인 선수트레이너의 전문성을 토대로 한 체력훈련은 좌식배구종목특성에 맞는 필드체력 향상과 좌식배구선수들의 배구기술 및 경기력 향상에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between sitting volleyball skills and field fitness, and to discover the effects of fitness training programs on the field fitness and volleyball skills of sitting volleyball players. Eleven elite Korea national sitting volleyball players were tested using field fitness tests (chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, side one hand throw, splint test, T-test, speed agility, speed endurance, GXT, reaction time, shoulder back scratch) and measurable volleyball skills (attack, serve, block, receive) by head coaches and assistant coaches. They were participated in a fitness training program for 8 weeks, 5 times per week, 80 minutes per session. Results showed the strongest correlation between attack and chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint test, reaction time, GXT total time, and between serve and chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint test, grip strength, and between block and chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint test, reaction time, GXT total time, grip strength, and between serve and speed agility, and speed endurance. Results also showed improved field fitness (chest pass, overhand pass, one hand throw, one hand side throw, splint, speed agility, speed endurance, GXT total time) and attack, serve, and block skills after participation in the fitness training program conducted by an athlete trainer. In conclusion, success in volleyball matches requires volleyball skills and field fitness. Based on the expertise of athlete trainers who are experts in physical training, physical fitness training will contribute to the improvement of field fitness and volleyball skills performance of volleyball players.
