In modern volleyball, physical fitness serves as the foundation for an

athletes to move efficiently, jump higher, perform movements with precision,
and maintain stable performance throughout a match. This study aims to identify
appropriate tests for assessing the sport-specific physical fitness of male
athletes on the volleyball team of Saigon University, Vietnam. To address the
research objectives, the study employed document synthesis and analysis, expert
interviews, pedagogical testing, and statistical methods. The research sample
consisted of 20 male volleyball athletes from Saigon University and 30
experienced experts. The study has identified nine sport-specific fitness,
including 20-m sprint (s), 12-minute run (m), standing vertical jump (cm),
approach vertical jump (cm), standing long jump (cm), standing triple jump(m),
T-test agility run (s), two-hand overhead throw with a 1-kg medicine ball (m),
and sit-and-reach test (cm). The study also developed C-scale standards and
overall fitness classifications for these tests. According to the assessment
outcomes, 10% of athletes reached a “Fair” level, 40% achieved an “Average”
