Volleyball Improves Hand-Eye Coordination and Muscle Strength


As the owner and managing principal of Skylands Healthcare Consulting, LLC, Kenneth LaPensee is responsible for conducting studies, including clinical trials. Outside of his professional life, Kenneth LaPensee makes time to play volleyball.

Playing volleyball can produce many different health benefits. Most participants know that playing the game may allow them to lose weight and build tone within their bodies. However, the sport is also noted for improving hand-eye coordination. When serving, players must aim at a point and when playing defense, they must try to judge where the ball is going to land, and then be able to hit it. 

Volleyball can also increase muscular build. Passing the ball requires competitors to squat and generate power, which helps to develop the leg muscles. The use of arms and hands is also prevalent in the game, in order to prevent injuries as well as strike the ball for a serve, set, pass, block, or attack.
