Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of selected strength and flexibility measures to playing ability in volleyball. Twenty four volleyball players of the Lakshmibai National College of Physical Education, Gwalior, were selected as subject for the purpose of this study. For measuring arm strength Roger’s formula was used, abdominal strength by bent knee sit-up for 60 seconds, leg strength by leg dynamometer, grip strength by using grip dynamometer, wrist and ankle flexibility were measured by goniometer, trunk flexibility by bend and reach test and the shoulder flexibility by rod centimeters and metric scale. To study the relationship of selected strength and flexibility measures to playing ability in volleyball the product moment correlation was computed.
