Volleyball as explosive power, agility, speed and precision sport does not have well defined training program with respect to female sports physiology and biomechanics especially in developing country like Pakistan. The study involved an 8 week interventional study with 60 female volleyball players. Pre- and post-intervention assessment of each of the KPIs was conducted. The experimental group who underwent the specialized training had a 15 percent increase in vertical jump height, 12 percent in agility, 20 percent in spike velocity, 13 percent in serving accuracy and a 9 percent increase in reaction time. Based on these results, it can be concluded that awakening training programs, associated with gender and sport specificity, can provide adequate improvements of the volleyball performance amongst the females.
