Abstract
The aim of this study was to Analysis of Selected Kinetic-Temporal Variables of Lower Extremity of Elite junior volleyball players during Block Jump Skill. 30 junior volleyball players of National Team of the Islamic Republic of Iran stand on Force platform and performed block jump skill, peak vertical forces, Time of peaks, Time elapsed between peaks, time of contact, end of the landing, total landing time, Ratio between peaks and between the time of the peaks were calculated. There are significant positive correlations between Times of peaks, Time elapsed between peaks and peak vertical forces and negative correlations exist between other variables of the research. So in volleyball players great stress would be placed on lower extremity at the moment of landing. Because of increasing time of the second peak will decrease the impact force, although it is not appropriate for volleyball goals.
