The Effect of Volleyball Training in Trunk Symmetry

Abstract

The present study aims to determine postural deficiencies in volleyball players depending on the period of practice, in the initiation stage. The evaluation of the posture and the angle between the ankle and the trunk was carried out with the mobile app Apecs-AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System®, the symmetry of the trunk with the "Trunk Symmetry" application included in the device's program. The REEDCO Posture Assessment (RPS) rating scale was used to interpret the results. The results reveal that in maintaining postural activity in optimal conditions in volleyball players, it is recommended to ensure symmetrical strength gains through conditioning training and core stabilization training.
