The purpose of this study is to analyze the kinematics difference between the volleyball long (LS) and quick spike (QS). Four collegiate volleyball players were the subjects. Their height, weight, and age were 185.7 ± 6.2cm, 75.1± 3.2kg, and 20 years respectively. One Panasonic AG-450 video camera operating at 60HZ was used to record the spiking action. One Panasonic AG-7300 video recorder and one 486 PC were used to digitize the data. A paired test was used to test the significance at .05 level. The results are listed as follows:(1)During the approach, the LS was significantly greater final velocity of body CG than the QS, and the LS had significantly smaller leg angle than the QS. (2)During the takeoff, the resultant velocity of CG was no significant difference between the LS and QS, but the LS was significantly greater horizontal velocity and significantly smaller vertical velocity than the QS. The LS was significantly smaller ankle and significantly greater hip angle than the QS at crouch, and the LS was significantly smaller ankle and hip angle than the QS at takeoff. (3)The LS was significantly smaller vertical displacement of body CG than the QS, and the ball's release velocity, ball' release angle and the distance from finger to shoulder had no significantly difference between the LS and the QS at spiking.
