On April 2, the women's volleyball players who are training in Beilun began to conduct physical fitness tests, which means that the first women's volleyball training camp has entered the end, and the new women's volleyball national team is about to be formed. At the same time, head coach Cai Bin also clearly talked about the basis for the selection of national team members in an interview with Xinhua News Agency.

Cai Bin said: The selection of the new Chinese women's volleyball team will be based on factors such as athletes' physical test results, training attitudes, stadium experience, development potential and the bright sword spirit that dares to challenge strong hands, of which physical test results account for the largest proportion.
According to what Cai Bin said, how the technical strength and basic skills of players have become secondary factors, the most important thing is that training input, on-the-spot experience, mental level and physical fitness have become an important basis for selection. In particular, physical fitness has become the most critical factor, and players who do not have physical advantages will be difficult to select for the national team.
The women's volleyball team members began a physical fitness test
How is the physical fitness of a player assessed? The coaching staff has developed a detailed set of physical fitness tests and hired a professional team to conduct the assessment, which includes six indicators: running high, 30 meters sprint, 3000 meters running, body fat ratio test, solid ball throwing, mid-thigh and continuous explosiveness test. All projects will be tested on April 2 and 3, and then the new national team roster will be determined according to the results of the physical test and other selection criteria.
From the current situation, in the new women's volleyball national team roster, Zhu Ting, who is healing, Zhang Changning, Yao Di and Liu Yanhan, who are absent from the training camp, will not return. After the big list is determined, considering the epidemic situation, it should not change the training location again, and will continue to close the training camp in Beilun to prepare for the World Women's Volleyball League that starts on June 1.
The ultimate list of women's volleyball teams is undecided
According to the performance of the players in the World League, the coaching staff will select the best of the best, and finally finalize the list of participants in the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Women's Volleyball World Championships. Therefore, it is currently certain that the ultimate list of women's volleyball teams participating in the Asian Games and the World Championships will be produced after the end of the World Women's Volleyball League, and this group of players will also be the backbone of the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. As for Zhu Ting, Zhang Changning, Yao Di, Liu Yanhan and other well-known players, can they return and when? At present, it is still a fog to see flowers, and it is not easy to conclude.
