EFFECT OF POST ACTIVATION POTENTIAL AND PASSIVE STRETCHING MODEL WARM-UP ON JUMPING PERFORMANCE
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different warm-up protocols (post activation potential model warm-up (PAP) and static stretching model warm-up) on jumping performance in male athletes. Forty-five male athletes (Age: 22.22±1.83 yrs; Height: 175.97±5.93 cm; Weight: 76.98±11.42 kg) volunteered to participate in this investigation. The athletes who participated in this study were randomly divided into three groups; Post activation potential group (PAPG) (n=14), static stretching group (SG) (n=14) and control group (CG) (n=17). Initial measurement values of jumping test for all athletes was made followed by 5 minutes passive rest after 5 minutes warm-up at 8 km/h on a treadmill. The second measurements of the athletes were performed 48 hours after the first measurements. In analyzing the data, a two-way repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted. The results indicated that significant group x time interactions were observed for jumping test scores in the athletes subjected to different warm-up protocols. As a result; post activation potential warm-up method leads to an acute increase in squat jump and 10 reps repetitive vertical jumping height (p<0.05), while static warm-up method causes a significant decrease (p<0.05).
