Abstract

Volleyball is among the most popular team sports in the world that is characterized by dynamic action with many strokes, blockages and other technical and tactical elements. There were 16 players of the volleyball team of Kosovo aged 18-31 included paper in this. The measurements were made during the preparatory period of the Kosovo national team for qualifying for the World Cup (Japan 2018) during 2017. Participants were divided according to positions in the game: wing spiker (right side) (n = 3), blocker (n = 5), wing spiker (left side) (n = 3), receiver (n = 5) and libero (n = 2). The average height of the followers is 171.50 cm, which is smaller than the receiver height 173.50, the height of which is lower than the correctors 179.17, while the average body height of the blockers is lower than the correctors 178.60 cm, while libero players have lower body height than all players, 165.50 cm. During the motor skill test, in hitting the ball, passers have the lowest value of 51.50cm, and then the receivers with 54.25cm, thirds are the spikers with a height of 55.67cm which is less than the liberos with 57.50cm and the average of the blockers that have the best score of 60.20cm. The results of this study in morphological variables are similar to the results of other researches. Vertical jump scores and tests are not as predicted as the positions in the game, since in the attacking jump the spikers have reached not very high results, while the libero players have had the best results, which is not the case in the research on volleyball in the developed country.
