Answer 1

you mostly use your quads, because of the stance you're in, and also your calves. you also use your abs (core strength) and your upper arm and shoulder muscles. i hope i helped! good luck with your assignment.

Answer 2

Legs! You gotta get low to dig.  Shoulders need to be strong to help absorbe the impact with low give. Arms in general becaue you gotta pass with them.  Hands cause sometimes you need to use your hands to dig.

Answer 3

well you use mostly leg and arm i would say

ask someone that knows to show how to do a dig and then do it and fell what muscles you use

it is easier to fell it than explain it

Answer 4

a dig is the saving of a hardly hit ball (a spike)....you use you leg muscles to get down on the ground to save the ball and you arms to hold them still and reflect the ball upwards to your setter!!

Answer 5

a really good dig is when your whole body is strength arms and legs down low to the ground waiting for the ball to bounce off your arms. its a very  low squat position. hope it helped.
