Psychophysical capabilities of volleyball players in performing blocking actions

volleyball is one of the most dynamic sports, requiring high speed and precision in executing technical game skills. At the same time, the role of psychophysical characteristics of athletes that influence the performance of such actions remains insufficiently studied. Psychomotor abilities, including choice reaction, spatial orientation, force control, and vestibular stability, play a key role in forming effective blocking actions. This study is aimed at analyzing the psychophysical activity of volleyball players during the execution of blocking actions and developing a methodology to improve these skills. In an experiment conducted during the 2024-2025 academic year among students of Angarsk State Technical University (AngSTU), comprehensive tests and specialized exercises were used to assess and develop psychomotor abilities that ensure timeliness, accuracy, and coordination of movements. The results confirm the high effectiveness of the methodology and its prospects for enhancing the volleyball players’ game skills.
