Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess and compare speed and agility among attackers and liberos of volleyball game. Fifteen (n=15) attackers and liberos (n=15) of were selected randomly with age ranging between 18-25 years. The subjects who participated in St. Joseph’s inter collegiate tournament, Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, India during the academic year 2012-2013 were only selected. Speed and agility was measured by using 50 meters dash and shuttle run tests respectively. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and independent sample ‘t’ test. There was a significant difference in speed and agility between attackers and liberos. It was concluded that in volleyball the liberos have better speed and agility than attackers. The level of significance was set at 0.05.
