Abstract
This research aimed to: 1) develop the S.A.P. training model and 2) examine the effects of the integrated S.A.P. training model. The sample group consisted of 30 volleyball players from Sisaket Rajabhat University, with 15 male and 15 female players aged 18-22 years, selected through purposive sampling. The S.A.P. training program was designed to focus on enhancing three aspects of physical fitness: speed, agility, and leg muscle strength. The participants followed the training program for 8 weeks, 3 days per week, with each session lasting 60 minutes. The evaluation used standardized physical fitness tests, including the Vertical Jump Test, 30-Meter Sprint Test, and Agility T-Test. Data analysis was performed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test statistics. The findings revealed that expert evaluations of the developed S.A.P. training program were rated as "high" (mean = 4.31). The comparison of the athletes' physical fitness in terms of leg muscle strength, speed, and agility before and after the training showed statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level. In conclusion, the S.A.P. training program was effective in improving the physical fitness of volleyball players, particularly in speed, agility, and leg muscle power.
