The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of overhead passing and its relation to elite and intermediate level volleyball players’ contact area of hands. Forty female volleyball players voluntarily to participate, 20 of them were the Expert group (age = 20.65 ± 1.98 years old, years of training = 10 ± 1.88 years ), and the other 20 were the Intermediate group ( age =20.35 ± 1.39 years old, years of training = 2.48 ± 1.42 years ). All the volleyballs were painted so when participants touch the ball, the color attached on their hands. The task for participants was to pass the balls to specify target by passing-overhead for 10 times. Each participant took approximately 30 minutes to complete the section. Independent t-test showed significant difference between groups on overhead passing accuracy, but there was no difference between groups in contact area of hands. Pearson correlation coefficient showed no correlation between accuracy and overall contact area of hands in the Expert group while there was a negative correlation between accuracy and area A in the Intermediate group. First of all, the Expert group has training for longer period of time and was more experienced than the Intermediate group. Secondly, the contact area of hands between the Expert group and Intermediate group were not significantly different, but from the amount of color attached on their hands showed that the power they used to pass the volleyballs was different. Finally, each player has its own habits of passing the balls therefore has different contact area.
Key word:volleyball, passing-overhead, contact area of hands, accuracy
