Abstract :The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of 16 weeks of periodized resistance training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(pre-season); on vertical leap measurements and performance in a test specific to volleyball insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TW20meters);. This study investigated 13 volleyball players participating in state-level competitions. Vertical leap and TW20meters assessments were performed before insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(baseline); and after the fifth, ninth, thirteenth, and the sixteenth weeks of physical training. Progressive improvement insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.001); was observed throughout the pre-season compared to baseline values for both tests. In conclusion, periodized resistance training was effective in promoting improvements in vertical leap performance and in a test specifically for volleyball. These data indicate that TW20meters is a test that can be used to detect changes in physical performance induced by resistance training in athletes playing volleyball
