The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of warm-up strategies on
countermovement jump performance. Twenty-nine male college football players (age:
19.4±1.1 years; body height: 179.0±5.1 cm; body mass: 73.1±8.0 kg;% body fat: 11.1±2.7)
from the Tuzla University underwent a control (no warm-up) and different warm-up
conditions: 1. general warm-up; 2. general warm-up with dynamic stretching; 3. general
warm-up, dynamic stretching and passive stretching; 4. passive static stretching; 5. passive …
The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of warm-up strategies on countermovement jump performance. Twenty-nine male college football players (age: 19.4±1.1 years; body height: 179.0±5.1 cm; body mass: 73.1±8.0 kg;% body fat: 11.1±2.7) from the Tuzla University underwent a control (no warm-up) and different warm-up conditions: 1. general warm-up; 2. general warm-up with dynamic stretching; 3. general warm-up, dynamic stretching and passive stretching; 4. passive static stretching; 5. passive static stretching and general warm-up; and, 6. passive static stretching, general warm-up and dynamic stretching. Countermovement jump performance was measured after each intervention or control. Results from one way repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant difference on warm-up strategies at F (4.07, 113.86)= 69.56, p< 0.001, eta squared= 0.72. Bonferonni post hoc revealed that a general warm-up and a general warm-up with dynamic stretching posted the greatest gains among all interventions. On the other hand, no warm-up and passive static stretching displayed the least results in countermovement jump performance. In conclusion, countermovement jump performance preceded by a general warmup or a general warm-up with dynamic stretching posted superior gains in countermovement jump performance.
