Question

What muscles do you work when you play volleyball?

Answer 1

Calfs, Thighs, triceps,and biceps.

Answer 2

legs

Answer 3

Not being a player, I would say ALL OF THEM.  You will find muscles you never knew you had (the next day that is).

Answer 4

beach volleyball works all kind of funny little muscles in your legs.

Otherwise, jumping works most of your leg muscles pretty good.

Answer 5

You work most, if not all of them. But the one you work the most is your shoulder. Others that get worked alot, and are important are, legs and abs. Those three are really the main/key ones, and need to be strong to be a very good player.

(oh and about the first reply, fingers and toes don't have muscles....)

Answer 6

all of them you use your arms to bump set spike and your stomach area to jup to spike the ball and your legs to run around

Answer 7

well usually when playing volleyball you work every muscle in your body, but when working on you usually want to focus on your upper bady....and when working on you should work on core body strength by using a medicine ball....you wanna work on your abs back and arm muscles

Answer 8

all of them... i mean.. really.. ALL OF THEM. Try playing it after not playign for some years. you will feel things hurt that you have never felt before.  The back. the abs legs. all of arms, shoulders, legs, knees, toes, fingers. lol

it is a TOTAL FULL body workout ;)

you really work your legs and your knees, beach VB will help gaurd against some of the injuries that can happen due to the softness of your landings. (lesser chance of getting jumpers knee)

Answer 9

You have to work your thighs and hips for better stability on getting the ball to go over the net. And remember to always touch the ground to get into your position.

Answer 10

CORE!!!  The rest goes along like your arms and your legs but it mainly works your core.  Thats why you see all those people who are the best have ripped abb's.  If you dont have a strong core you wont be good in volleyball

Answer 11

in volleyball, you pretty much use every muscle, suprisingly.  obviously, the arm and shoulder muscles are used for hitting, serving, etc.  the legs are worked when you get into passing position and when you jump.  your core actually is an important muscle area as well.  it basically helps you with everything.

Answer 12

well if you play volleyball you will no because you can feel them  growning some mucles

Answer 13

Well, your legs would be the most obvious answer (quads, calves), but you'd be surprised how much work your abs can get too. Especially if you're a hitter.

Shoulders too.
