Hello!
I am stuck with the phrase: " She does MUCH or MANY sport as swimming, running, playing volleyball".
Could you clarify it, please.
 
... such as swimming, running, and playing volleyball.
 
She does lots of sports, such as swimming, running, and playing volleyball.

I'm not sure what you mean by "stuck with" there. Also, for sports we usually use "play". For example, " I play basketball. "

I wouldn't consider swimming a sport unless it's done competitively. (The same for running.)

Thank you for your response.

Using “stuck with”, I meant "I was blocked", I didn’t know which word to choose, if the word “sport” was countable or uncountable in this case. Was I wrong to use “stuck with” in this context?
 
Yes, "stuck with" was the wrong choice. If you're stuck with something it means you have it but you don't want it or you wish you didn't have it. You can be "stuck on" a question in a test.

Helen: How are you getting on with your homework?
George: Not too bad, but I'm completely stuck on question 10.

In your context, I'd just say "I'm confused about/I don't know whether I should use sport or sports in the following sentence".
