To perform competitively an athlete needs to be fit. A good way to evaluate fitness of athletes is to compare them among one another and with non-athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare body composition, vertical power, agility, and muscular strength among female volleyball players (V), basketball players (B), and non-athletes (NA). <strong>Methods:<\/strong> Participants (N = 41) were all females attending Huntington University between the ages of 19 to 22 years of age. Participants completed body composition assessment, vertical jump, t-test and one repetition squat maximum. To determine statistical differences, a one-way ANOVA was performed in Excel, with Tukey\u2019s post hoc analyses performed in XLSTAT. <strong>Results:<\/strong> Significance differences were found among all tests, except body composition. The only significant difference between teams was the vertical jump in which the volleyball team performed significantly (p < 0.05) better than the basketball team (21.9 \u00b1 2.0 in vs 19.4 \u00b1 2.4 in). Post hoc analysis revealed significance differences (p < 0.05) in muscular strength between V vs NA (206.8 \u00b1 33.2 lbs vs. 131.4 \u00b1 38.0 lbs) and B vs NA (204.1 \u00b1 25.6 lbs vs. 131.4 \u00b1 38.0 lbs); in agility between V vs NA (10.6 \u00b1 0.5 s vs. 12.3 \u00b1 0.5 s) and B vs NA (10.4 \u00b1 0.5 s vs. 12.3 \u00b1 0.5 s); and on the vertical jump test between V vs NA (21.9 \u00b1 2.0 in vs. 17.6 \u00b1 2.0 in). <strong>Conclusions:<\/strong> The volleyball team performed significantly better than non-athletes on the vertical jump, agility t-test and squat max. The basketball team performed significantly better than non-athletes on the agility t-test and squat max. Our findings indicate that overall female athletes (specifically volleyball and basketball players) are more fit than non-athletes.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jake Nash<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\">, Danny Becker<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\">,Fred Miller<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\">, Yenly Londono<\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\">. <b>Body Composition, Vertical Jump, Agility and Muscular Strength of Athletes and Non-Athletes<\/b>. <\/span><span class=\"s2\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Department of Kinesiology, Huntington University, Huntington, IN, USA. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[126,127,128,129,130],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Body Composition, Vertical Jump, Agility and Muscular Strength of Athletes and Non-Athletes - IJREP - International Journal of Research in Exercise Physiology<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Performing competitively is the main goal for volleyball and basketball players.
