“…This sport needs speed, technique, talent, as well as great strength, power, and endurance (Gartland, 2001). Studies show that kickboxing contests activate both aerobic and anaerobic metabolism while working for all major muscle groups (Leyk et al, 2017). The psychophysiological demands of a kickboxing tournament mean that competitors attain high levels of physical fitness in a variety of areas.…”

Numerous variables can affect performance before the competition. Nevertheless, it could be a subject of curiosity to find out whether warm-up strategy has a more positive effect on the power performance of kickboxers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of different specific warm-up protocols and time of day on optimum power performance in kickboxers. Ten volunteer males performed three different warm-up routines in random order. The warm-up protocols consisted of only 20 min for each group. The groups with low-intensity aerobic running (NSWU) and specific warm-ups (SWU-20m) performed 20-min protocols. The other group followed 10 minutes of jogging and 10 minutes of specific warm-up (SWU-10m). All groups followed the warm-up randomly at two different periods of the day (i.e. morning: 09:00-10:00 and evening: 16:00-17:00) on non-consecutive days. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of Mean Propulsion (W) (F=3.518, p2=0.036). While there was a statistically significant difference in Mean propulsive Power (W) between NSWU and SWU-10m (p3= 0.0007) or SWU-10m and SWU-20m (p3= 0.0106) groups, NSWU and SWU-20m (p3= 0.415). In conclusion, mean propulsion (W) performance showed diurnal variation, and performances of the kickboxers’ can be affected more positively in the evening hours, especially after SWU protocols.
