What is Volleyball
Volleyball is one of the most popular sports to play in the world. Two
teams, separated by a high net, hit a ball back and forth over the net
between the teams. Each team is allowed three hits to get the ball over
the net to the other team. A point scored if the ball hits the ground in the
opponents court, if the opponents commit a fault, or if they fail to return
the ball properly.
Player Specialization
There are five positions:

What Are the Health Benefits of Volleyball?
Burns Calories
Playing volleyball affects body fat percentage and the muscle ratio of the entire
body in a positive way. According to FitnessHealthZone.com, 45 minutes of volleyball
burns up to 585 calories, resulting in significant weight loss over an extended period of
time. This reduces the risks of hypertension, heart disease and diabetes.
Improves Muscular System
The physical activities involved in playing volleyball will strengthen the upper
body, arms and shoulders as well as the muscles of the thighs and lower legs. Playing
volleyball also tones and strengthens the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
Improved circulation circulates more blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body,
improving the bodys functions and your overall health and well-being.
Benefits
Volleyball involves specific technical and physical skills, including serving,
passing, setting, jumping, reacting, changing pace and direction, blocking, attacking and
digging. So, regular play will help improve your agility, overall flexibility, reaction time,
speed and upper and lower body strength. Playing games such as volleyball can turn
otherwise boring exercise into a fun activity that you actually look forward to each week.
