Abstract
With the rise in popularity of volleyball the occurrence of injuries has been on the rise, and how do athletic trainers manage and prevent these injuries. Surakhamhaeng et al 13 , Gallego- Izquierdo et al 15 , Ardakani et al 16 , and Huang et al 14 have shown several important aspects to prevent lower extremity injuries in collegiate volleyball players. These aspects include plyometric training, balance training, glute strengthening, and proper landing techniques. Research by Han et al 6 also noted the benefit of combining these elements in order to reach the desired outcome for the athlete. The importance of these findings shows the potential benefits of plyometric training for volleyball players; and as clinicians you have to choose the best course of action for the treatment of the athlete.
