Methodology for assessing the level of coordination abilities of University team’s volleyball players
In the system of training athletes in team sports, the recruitment of a team remains one of the urgent problems. This article discusses the assessment of the coordination abilities of volleyball players as one of the selection criteria for the national team. The purpose of the study is to experimentally substantiate the methodology for assessing the level of coordination abilities of volleyball players, the university national team. The study involved members of the national team of the Dorzhi Banzarov Buryat State University “University” (BSU) - 13 people aged 18 to 22 years (average age is 19,8 years). The paper presents the results of testing volleyball players based on multidirectional jumps. As test tasks, the subjects were offered to perform multidirectional jumps from six options for a minimum period of time according to certain landmarks, which the teacher calls. Fast and accurate solution of unexpected motor tasks allows you to assess the level of coordination abilities as high, medium, below average and low. The obtained average values (expressed in seconds) according to the Stregess formula are distributed into levels that look like this: high - to 10,44; average - from 10,45 to 11,06; below average - from 11,07 to 11,68 and low - 11,69 and above. As a result of testing, 2 people (15,4%) received a rating - high; 2 people (15,4%) - average; 5 people (38,5%) - below average and 4 people (30,8%) - low. This method of assessing the level of coordination abilities of volleyball players should be considered as one of the criteria for the selection of newly arrived players to the national team.
