| Abstract. | The study aims to highlight the contribution of volleyball-specific methods to the development of explosive strength in high school students aged 14 to 16. Volleyball, integrated into physical education lessons, represents an attractive and effective means of stimulating fundamental motor skills. The purpose of the research is to demonstrate that exercises such as attacking and blocking jumps, quick movements, and ball reactions can develop students’ ability to generate force in a short period of time. The objectives include: analyzing the biopsychomotor characteristics of the students, selecting exercises that impact explosive strength, applying them in lessons, evaluating progress through motor tests, and formulating recommendations for teachers. The research hypothesis is that the consistent use of volleyball-specific methods leads to a significant improvement in explosive strength compared to traditional methods. The results confirm the major role of volleyball in developing explosive strength, as well as in increasing students’ motivation for physical activity. Specific exercises contribute to visible motor progress and to the creation of an engaging educational environment. |
