Abstract

This quantitative research aimed to analyze the relationship between physical fitness and volleyball performance achievement among lower secondary school students. The sample consisted of 198 students, aged 12–15 years, from Wat Nong Yai School under the Sai Mai District Office, Bangkok. The participants were selected using stratified random sampling. Research instruments included standardized physical fitness tests—50-meter sprint for measuring speed and zigzag run for measuring agility—as well as a volleyball performance assessment covering serving, spiking, receiving, and court movement. Both sets of instruments were reviewed and validated by three experts to ensure content accuracy. Additionally, the volleyball performance assessment was tested for inter-rater reliability using Cohen’s Kappa coefficient, which yielded a value of 0.86, indicating a high level of agreement. Therefore, the instruments were deemed appropriate for data collection in this study.

Data collection was conducted using both pre-test and post-test designs. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were employed to analyze the relationships between physical fitness components and volleyball performance.

The findings revealed that speed showed a moderate to high negative correlation with volleyball performance (r = -0.62, p < 0.01), while agility showed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.74, p < 0.001). These results suggest that students with higher agility tend to perform better in volleyball.

This study provides valuable insights for planning training programs for lower secondary school athletes, particularly by emphasizing the development of physical fitness components that strongly correlate with performance—namely speed and agility. Furthermore, the findings can inform the design of physical education curricula and extracurricular sports programs aimed at fostering students’ athletic potential, which could lead to long-term youth athlete development.
