Abstract
This study assessed the effectiveness of re-warm-up strategies in counteracting performance declines in non-starter female basketball players during prolonged inactivity. Fifteen elite youth players (16.7 ± 0.6 years) participated in a crossover study comparing four re-warm-up protocols following a standardized warm-up. Performance was measured immediately after warm-up and 15-min post re-warm-up using the counter-movement jump (CMJ), drop jump (DJ), and 5-0-5 change of direction test (CODs). Prolonged inactivity (CON) significantly decreased CMJ and DJ height (p < 0.001) and slowed CODs times (p = 0.019). Plyometric re-warm-up (PLY) preserved CMJ, DJ, and CODs performance (p > 0.05), while dynamic stretching (DYN) and passive heat maintenance (TOW) maintained DJ and CODs (p > 0.05) but reduced CMJ (p < 0.001). ANCOVA revealed a significant effect of re-warm-up strategies on CMJ (F = 20.71, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.54), with post hoc tests showing PLY was superior to other protocols (p < 0.001). These findings emphasize the effectiveness of plyometric strategies in maintaining physical performance during inactivity. Tailored protocols considering individual needs and basketball-specific demands can enhance player readiness and team success.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sports Sciences has an international reputation for publishing articles of a high standard and is both Medline and Clarivate Analytics-listed. It publishes research on various aspects of the sports and exercise sciences, including anatomy, biochemistry, biomechanics, performance analysis, physiology, psychology, sports medicine and health, as well as coaching and talent identification, kinanthropometry and other interdisciplinary perspectives.
The emphasis of the Journal is on the human sciences, broadly defined and applied to sport and exercise. Besides experimental work in human responses to exercise, the subjects covered will include human responses to technologies such as the design of sports equipment and playing facilities, research in training, selection, performance prediction or modification, and stress reduction or manifestation. Manuscripts considered for publication include those dealing with original investigations of exercise, validation of technological innovations in sport or comprehensive reviews of topics relevant to the scientific study of sport.
