Abstract
This study aims at identifying the relationship between bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and spike performance among players of Akad Club participating in the 2024-2025 Premier League in volleyball. The research hypotheses were as follows: There is a statistically significant correlation between bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and the spiking performance of the players from Akkad Club participating in the 2024-2025 Premier League.
The researchers used the descriptive correlational method, as it was suitable for the nature of the study. The research sample consisted of (14) players from Akkad Club participating in the Premier League for the (2024-2025) volleyball season. They were selected purposively, and (4) players were excluded for a pilot study. The researchers concluded that the research sample possessed a good level of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, reflecting the players' high levels of motor control. They also found a statistically significant correlation between bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and performance in the diagonal spike, indicating that a high level of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence directly contributes to improve the offensive skill performance. Therefore, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence can be considered an important scientific indicator in the selection process for volleyball players, particularly in offensive skills. The researchers recommended adopting a bodily-kinesthetic intelligence scale as a supporting scientific tool within volleyball player selection and classification programs. They also recommended integrating kinesthetic perception training and situational exercises that simulate match conditions into training units to develop the integration between bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and skill performance. Finally, the researchers advised coaches to adopt a comprehensive approach to multiple intelligences when preparing training programs, rather than focusing solely on physical aspects.
