Introduction: Volleyball is a team sport that requires players to jump, block shots with their hands, perform short and explosive movements, and quickly apply positioning strategies while passing the ball over the net with the ultimate goal of scoring points, i.e. tactical coordination. Decisive actions in volleyball, such as the spike and serve, are usually high-speed shots that consist of explosive arm movements combined with running, vertical jumps, and hitting the ball. The aim of this work was to see the influence of muscle strength and range of motion of the shoulder girdle on the height of the vertical jump in different age categories of female volleyball players. Materials and methods: The test was conducted on female volleyball players in the junior cadet (n=15) and senior (n=15) categories. The subjects were evaluated by measuring the extent of anteflexion and external rotation in the glenohumeral joint using a goniometer and by measuring the strength of the shoulder anteflexor muscles using a dynamometer. A questionnaire with a total of 12 questions was also conducted. The results: The range of motion of the shoulder joint does not significantly affect the height of the vertical jump, while the strength of the anteflexor muscles has a significant influence, and therefore the volleyball players of the senior category showed higher values of the vertical jump compared to younger female cadets. Conclusion: The height of the vertical jump partly depends on the strength of the anteflexor muscles of the shoulder joint, while the range of motion has no influence on its height. The greater the strength of the muscles in the shoulder joint, the higher the value of the vertical jump will be.
