Abstract

The rapid evolution of sports technology has significantly influenced training methodologies, particularly in enhancing performance through real-time feedback and reactive training systems. This study examines the impact of FitLight-based training on defensive and offensive performance in volleyball players. Thirty collegiate volleyball players were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent a six-week FitLight training program incorporating sport-specific drills, while the control group followed conventional training routines. Performance variables including reaction time, agility, spike accuracy, and defensive efficiency were assessed before and after the intervention. The results indicated significant improvements in the experimental group compared to the control group. The findings suggest that FitLight-based training is an effective tool for enhancing both cognitive and physical aspects of volleyball performance. The study emphasizes the role of technology-driven training in modern sports development.
