Summary

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an 8-week TRX suspension training program on body composition, anaerobic power, and selected biomotor abilities in young male volleyball players.

A total of 26 male volleyball players (aged 14-18 years) were randomly assigned into two groups: an Experimental Group (n = 13) and a Control Group (n = 13). The control group participated solely in their routine volleyball training sessions, while the experimental group performed TRX suspension training twice a week in addition to their routine volleyball training over the 8-week period.

Pre- and post-intervention evaluations included body composition metrics, anaerobic power (Wingate anaerobic test), vertical jump height, handgrip strength, leg strength, and a 10-meter sprint test. The findings aim to provide evidence on the efficacy of suspension training for physical performance adaptation in youth volleyball athletes.

Interventions

OTHER

TRX Suspension Training Program

An 8-week suspension training protocol consisting of 16 sessions (2 days/week, 16 min/session). Each session included 8 exercises: TRX Squat, TRX Row, TRX Squat Jump, TRX Chest Press, TRX Lateral Jump Squat, TRX Biceps Curl, TRX Assisted Pistol Squat, and TRX Tricep Extension. Training volume was set to 2 sets of 8 repetitions, with 24 seconds of exercise execution, 30 seconds of rest between exercises, and 120 seconds of rest between sets.

OTHER

Standard Volleyball Training

Standard technical and tactical volleyball coaching session program, including warm-up routines, passing/spiking drills, simulated match play, and tactical team preparation exercises performed twice a week for 8 weeks.
