Purpose：The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical difference between male and female players after a volleyball spike. Method：Eight male and 8 female volleyball players performed spike landing on two force plates (1500Hz) to collect the kinetic data, and Vicon motion analysis system (10 cameras, 300Hz) to collect the kinematics data. Result：Males exhibited greater jump height, but there were no difference between males and females for the ground reaction force. In the sagittal plane motion, males exhibited greater hip and knee flexion angles in the initial ground contact. Peak hip flexion angle and hip range of motion (ROM) were greater in males. Females exhibited greater peak ankle dorsiflexion angle and ankle ROM. Males exhibited greater hip angle and hip angular velocity in the peak vertical ground reaction force (PVGRF). In the frontal plane motion, Females exhibited greater knee valgus angles in the initial ground contact and PVGRF during landing. Peak knee valgus angle was greater in females. Conclusion：Genders displayed difference strategies during landing. Males utilized hip and knee joint motion. Female utilized ankle and knee joint motion, and demonstrated greater knee valgus angle.
