| Summary: | This study aims to examine the effect of modified Air Alert III exercises, a jump training program in basketball, on vertical jump performance in middle school female volleyball players. Sixteen 13-year-old female athletes, including 8 in the experimental group and 8 in the control group, participated after completing at least three years of regular volleyball training. The Air Alert III program applied to the experimental group includes exercises where the types and rest periods between sets remain constant, but the number of repetitions and sets reduced by 50%. The program continued for 15 weeks, while the control group maintained their regular training routine. Statistical analyses, performed using SPSS 25.0, show differences between the pre-test and post-test results of the groups, assessed using the Paired-Sample T-Test. The significance level set at p<0.01. Positive improvements in vertical jump, Illinois agility test, and Flamingo balance test appear in the experimental group (p<0.01), whereas no significant differences found in the control group's pre-test and post-test results (p>0.01). These findings indicate that the Air Alert III program serves as an alternative training method for enhancing vertical jump, agility, and balance in volleyball players. |
