| dc.description.abstract | Player performance analysis and game strategy
classification have seen significant advancements in global
volleyball. However, these developments have been largely
absent in Sri Lanka's volleyball landscape, where minimal
research has been conducted. This study addresses the need
to identify and evaluate key performance indicators (KPIs)
specific to Sri Lankan volleyball. As an initial step, 25
research papers were reviewed, resulting in a preliminary
list of 13 KPIs. To calibrate these KPIs, 10 interviews were
conducted with coaches and volleyball experts, leading to
the addition of 5 more KPIs. In the final phase, a
questionnaire survey was administered to volleyball
coaches and experts to evaluate and prioritize the KPIs. All
10 responses from the questionnaire were evaluated
through a weighted scoring system, considering factors
such as experience level, type of players trained, and
coaching level. This process culminated in a final list of 12
KPIs: Flexibility, Aerobic Endurance, Hand Strength to
Body Weight, Agility, Explosive Power (Lower Body),
Explosive Power (Upper Body), Speed, Height, Weight,
Age, Body Composition, and Skills and Game Conditions.
This comprehensive approach ensures that the identified
KPIs are both relevant and tailored to the local context,
providing a solid foundation for future performance
evaluation models in Sri Lankan volleyball. | en_US |
