Sprint times were determined for both first 10meters and 90 meters by new/est photocell system. An analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) was utilized totest the significance of differences among groups. To detennine the source of differences, Duncan test wasemployed.This study showed that there were significant physical differences among groups under effect of sex andvolleyball factors. Mean vertical jump of male volleyball players was significantly different from other threegroups, while differences in aerobic capacity, coordination and speed were mostly due to sex factor.It appears that determination of the physical performance level of volleybalJ players seems to be best predictorof volleyball playing ability.Key Words: Volleyball players, physical and physiological peculiarities.
