Sensory-motor perception and neuromuscular coordination and their relationship to the accuracy of the overhead serve and setting skills in volleyball

Abstract

The importance of this research lies in identifying the relationship between sensory-motor perception and the overhead serve, setting, and neuromuscular coordination between these two skills. It also highlights the importance and role of sensory-motor perception and neuromuscular coordination, placing them before specialists to develop training exercises for volleyball players and thus improve their skill performance. The research problem stems from the researcher's observation that most coaches do not pay sufficient attention to sensory-motor perception and neuromuscular coordination when designing their training programs. Their primary focus is on training basic skills and physical attributes, with little attention given to other types of fundamental skills, including the overhead serve and setting in volleyball. Therefore, the researcher decided to undertake this study due to its importance, to understand its causes, and to arrive at results that contribute to addressing it. The research objectives are to identify the nature of sensory-motor perception and neuromuscular coordination among the research sample, as well as to identify the nature of the relationship between perception and the skills of the overhead serve and setting in volleyball. The researcher used the descriptive approach with a survey method and correlational studies, as these are suitable for the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of 45 students from Second-year students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Dhi Qar, out of 45 students aged 20-21 from the morning study, 6 students were excluded in order to achieve homogeneity in the research
