The purpose of this study was to compare various physical and performance characteristics of two elite groups of athletes, the 1980 U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team and the collegiate players who composed the 1979 U.S. Women's University Games Volleyball Team. The characteristics compared were age, height, weight, body composition determined via hydrostatic weighing, vertical jumping distance, vertical jumping height, maximal oxygen consumption, heart rate max and respiratory exchange ratio. Significant differences (p less than 0.05) in age (23 +/- 2.6 yr. and 21.5 +/- 0.7 yr.), percent of body fat (11.7 +/- 3.7% and 18.3 +/- 3.4%), and vertical jumping distance (52.4 +/- 4.5 cm and 45.5 +/- 6.4 cm), between the two teams were demonstrated, with the National Team being significantly older, having a lower percentage of body fat and possessing a larger vertical jumping distance. These results indicate trainers of elite (national and international caliber) women volleyball players should consider including techniques to reduce percentage of body fat and increase vertical jumping distance.
本研究的目的是比较两组精英运动员的各种身体和运动表现特征，即1980年美国国家女子排球队和组成1979年美国大学运动会女子排球队的大学生球员。所比较的特征包括年龄、身高、体重、通过水下称重测定的身体成分、垂直跳跃距离、垂直跳跃高度、最大耗氧量、最大心率和呼吸交换率。结果显示，两队在年龄（23±2.6岁和21.5±0.7岁）、体脂百分比（11.7±3.7%和18.3±3.4%）以及垂直跳跃距离（52.4±4.5厘米和45.5±6.4厘米）方面存在显著差异（p小于0.05），国家队年龄显著更大，体脂百分比更低，垂直跳跃距离更大。这些结果表明，精英（国家级和国际级）女子排球运动员的教练应考虑采用一些技术来降低体脂百分比并增加垂直跳跃距离。
