Method: Twenty-four female volleyball players from a junior high school in Taipei city were randomly assigned to three groups with 8 persons in each group: the experimental groupⅠ(circuit training), the experimental groupⅡ(circuit training combined with core training), and the control group (regular training). The serving accuracy and specialized physical fitness were measured before and after the training. Paired sample t-tests were performed to examine the difference between pre-tests and post-tests. The differences among three groups were detected by One–way ANOVAs with repeated measures. The Least Significant Difference (LSD) method was applied if a significant result was found among three groups in AVOVA tests. Significance level in this study was set as α=.05. The results indicated that the participants of GroupⅠimproved significantly after training in terms of several items of specialized physical fitness, including 30 meters dash, running vertical jump, 3 times of shuttle run, v-set reach test, badminton throwing, and 1 minute bent-knee sit-up. In addition, participants of GroupⅠhad significant more progress than the Control Group in terms of v-set reach test and bent-knee sit-up. Participants of GroupⅡ performed significantly better in post-tests than in pre-tests in several items of specialized physical fitness, including 30 meters dash, running vertical jump, 3 times of shuttle run, v-set reach test, badminton throwing, and 1 minute bent-knee sit-up. Moreover, GroupⅡ had significant more progress than the Control Group in terms of serving accuracy, 3 times of shuttle run, v-set reach test, and 1 minute bent-knee sit-up. Conclusion: Circuit training combined with core training were helpful in terms of increasing volleyball serving accuracy and improving specialized physical fitness significantly (p<.05). It is recommended that coaches incorporate circuit training and core training into junior high school volleyball training programs.
