“…This finding supports the study of (Sayers et al, 2008) who have found that jog 800 m, forward skips 4 × 30 m, side shuffles 4 × 30 m, and backward skips 4 × 30 m wish can be considered like dynamic warm-up with excitation exercise improve acceleration phase. In the same context, Little & Williams (2006) used 3 warm-ups protocols ending with ~4 minutes of incremental intermittent sprint and agility runs.…”

“…In the first 20-m high speed the WU-2 protocol produced significantly faster (p < 0.05) runs than did the WU-1 protocol, no significant result was found in the other six 20-m of the successive RSA-test sprints, this may by explained with the fact that, maximum stride length only occurs when the runner has reached peak speed that is, during the maximal-speed phase, additionally during it both stride length and the stretch shortening cycle duration are at their respective greatest, in the present study the emplacement of excitation sequence at the end (WU-2) may increase this effect which observed only in the beginning in the study of (Sayers et al, 2008).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two warm-up modalities (scheduled before a soccer match) on short-term maximal performance and physiological responses in soccer players. Twenty soccer players (Age = 22.1 ± 4.4 years; Height = 183.2 ± 7.1 cm, Body mass = 77.6 ± 8.5 kg) participated in this study. They randomly performed two different pre-match warm-up protocols on separate days with different excitation order component sequences where the last component of the warm-up excitation sequence was imputed completed either in the middle (WU-1), or at the end of the warm-up (WU-2). During the completion of the warm-up, heart rate (HR), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded. After the warm-up, participants performed a repeated sprint ability test (RSA) and the five jump (5JT) test. The results revealed no significant differences in WU-1 and the WU-2 for HR and RPE. In WU-2 condition, significant differences in the 7th acceleration phase of the repeated 10 m sprint (S7) (p < 0.05) was observed in comparison to WU-1. Likewise, the performance of 5JT (p < 0.05), and the 10-m of the RSA (p < 0.05) increased to WU-2 in comparison with WU-1. In conclusion, we recommended performing warm-up at the end of pre-match rather than in the middle to ameliorate the performance of soccer players during the competition.

“…Although basketball coaches follow the aforementioned warm-up type, recent studies have examined the effect of static stretching during warm-up and found detrimental impact on performance (Faigenbaum et al 2006, Fletcher & Monte-Colombo 2010, Pearce et al 2009, Fowles et al 2000, Power et al 2004, Alikhajeh et al 2012, Little & Williams 2006, Chaouachi et al 2008, ο Nelson et al 2005, Sayers et al 2008, Fletcher & Jones 2004, Gelen 2010, Needman et al 2009, Winchester et al 2008Famisis 2015, Papadopoulos et al 2015.

The aim of the present study was to compare the acute effect of static and dynamic stretching on countermovement jump (CMJ) and ten meters sprint performance for basketball players. Twenty semiprofessional basketball players, 23.4 ± 0.5 yo, height 185.6 ± 2.8 cm, body mass 84.8 ± 6.2 kg, training age 10.4 ± 2.5 yr, performed a static (SS) and a dynamic (DS) stretching protocol in two different days, a week apart. Participants were randomly assigned to each protocol. Each session included: a) 10 min general basketball warm-up, b) initial evaluation of sprint and CMJ performance, c) five minutes static or dynamic stretching for the lower limbs, according to the protocol, and d) final evaluation of sprint and CMJ. The Photocells Powertimer 300 -PC Upgrade Kit and the jump mat (both from Newtest Powertimers, Oulu, Finland), were used for evaluating CMJ and sprint performance. Countermovement jumps with maximum effort were performed one minute after the intervention, with 30s recovery in between. Then athletes were asked to run 10 m with maximum speed. Athletes achieved better performance in both CMJ height and sprint time, with the DS protocol compared to the SS protocol. In conclusion, in sports of high strength and power demands, such as basketball, the use of dynamic stretching is preferable for its immediate effect on jumping and sprint performance.

Dynamic stretching has gained popularity, due to a number of studies showing an increase in high intensity performance compared to static stretch modalities. Twenty-four males (age mean 21 +/- 0.3 years) performed a standardised 10 min jogging warm-up followed by either; no stretching (NS), slow dynamic stretching at 50 b/min (SDS) or fast dynamic stretching at 100 b/min (FDS). Post-warm-up, squat, countermovement and depth jumps were performed. Heart rate, tympanic temperature, electromyography (EMG) and kinematic data (100 Hz) were collected during each jump. Results indicated that the FDS condition showed significantly greater jump height in all tests compared to the SDS and NS conditions. Further, the SDS trial resulted in significantly greater performance in the drop and squat jump compared to the NS condition. The reasons behind these performance changes are multi-faceted, but appear to be related to increases in heart rate and core temperature with slow dynamic stretches, while the greater increase in performance for the fast dynamic stretch intervention is linked to greater nervous system activation, shown by significant increases in EMG. In conclusion, a faster dynamic stretch component appears to prepare an athlete for a more optimum performance.
