Participants were divided into an experimental group (n=9), in which calisthenic exercises were integrated into the main training process, and a control group (n=9), in which the same exercises were performed in isolation at the end of training. Before and after the 9-week intervention, anthropometric measurements, physical fitness tests (sit-ups, medicine ball throw, vertical\/horizontal jump, agility, balance, flexibility), and volleyball technical tests (serve, spike, forearm pass, overhead pass) were administered. Analysis of Covariance was used to analyze the data to adjust for the effects of pre-test scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The results indicated that both groups showed similar improvements in physical fitness parameters (p&amp;gt;0.05). However, significant differences were found in technical performance in favor of the experimental group.
