Abstract

Abstract Spiking is the most powerful and decisive offensive skill in volleyball, requiring a complex integration of biomechanical principles involving force generation, coordination, and timing. This paper examines the biomechanical characteristics of the spiking technique in elite volleyball players, focusing on kinematic and kinetic variables across different phases of movement. Key factors such as approach velocity, take-off mechanics, arm swing dynamics, and ball contact are analyzed. The study highlights how efficient biomechanical execution enhances performance while reducing injury risk. Findings indicate that elite players demonstrate optimal coordination between lower and upper body segments, resulting in greater spike velocity and accuracy.
