Most of physiological investigation in volleyball studies only discussed which body part is dominant when someone doing spike. There are still few to explore more detail on what muscle works and roles so crucial. This study aims determine the has a specific effect during spike movements. uses quantitative descriptive method, participants this were female male adolescent athletes obtained 42 participants, divided into 20 males 22 females.
