IMPROVING COMPLEX COORDINATION MOVEMENTS IN VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS AGED 18—20

The general level of sports training of volleyball players is driven by many factors: the need to obtain optimal physical performance which ensures that key techniques are mastered and tactical tasks are resolved as well as individual and team motor rhythm is achieved. In contemporary volleyball where techniques and tactics of the game are continuously improved and contest rules get periodically changed, athlete’s coordination abilities and functional condition have to be high. That is why a number of experts emphasize how important it is for volleyball players to have and continuously improve their space-and-time orientation skills as it ensures that the most efficient motor actions are selected in a prompt and timely manner. The ability to improve the accuracy of movements of the body and its respective parts in response to an external stimulus is an important skill in volleyball players. Sensor systems provide information regarding location of body parts that provide feedback as well as matching of sensory corrections. Athletes get an opportunity to apply necessary muscle effort in a timely manner, to change or finish the motor action. This allows more efficient control of the situation being unfolded in the volleyball court. Depending upon the nature of external stimulus, sensory adjustments acquire specific features determined by qualitative characteristics of motor actions. While preparing to perform a complex coordination motor action, feedback may become able to adjust the movement as a whole or its individual phase. In more complex technical movements, such as an attacking blow that consists of multi-phase movements, feedback may adjust only specific phases or a technically complex physical exercise if performed repeatedly. The purpose of this research is to provide experimental and theoretical justification for use of a set of exercises that contribute to efficient improvement of space-and-time orientation in volleyball players of 18—20 years old. The research results obtained can be utilized to optimize the training process of volleyball players.
