Development and Validation of Instructional Videos on Plyometric Exercises

Abstract

This study focused on developing and validating an instructional video on plyometric exercises aimed at improving volleyball players’ performance at Fatima National High School, General Santos City. Plyometric training is known to enhance essential volleyball skills such as agility, speed, power, and vertical jump height, which are crucial for competitive success. Given the limited availability of culturally relevant and accessible training resources in regions like Mindanao, this research created a tailored video to support athletes and physical education teachers, especially in contexts lacking direct coaching supervision. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) design to produce the video and gathered acceptability ratings from both teachers and students to assess its effectiveness.

The results showed that both teachers and students found the instructional video highly acceptable, with teachers rating it significantly higher, likely due to their deeper understanding of the pedagogical benefits. Students’ more varied responses highlighted the importance of considering their practical experience and engagement when refining the material. This research underscores the value of instructional videos as affordable, accessible tools that can enhance athletic performance and physical education, particularly in underserved areas. The findings suggest that incorporating student feedback in future iterations will improve the video's usability and impact, ultimately supporting evidence-based training and injury prevention in volleyball.
