Sixteen trained swimmers, nine males (20.67±2.71 years old) and seven females (18.86±0.83 years old), performed 3×25 m breaststroke using two pullout breaststroke techniques: Fly-Kick first and Combined. A speedometer and video footage were used to assess the pullout phase kinematics and the total underwater sequence. Dryland assessments included the maximum jump height, the isometric peak strength of internal shoulder rotation (IR) (at 90°), and knee extensors (at 60°). The joint ROM of knee flexion (KF), plantar flexion (PF), and hip internal rotation were also considered. Velocity-time curves of both techniques according to sex were dissected using statistical parametric mapping. An independent <i>t</i>-test was used to compare differences between swimmers' sex in kinematic and dryland variables while the Pearson correlation coefficient (<i>r</i>) was used for associations. Higher instantaneous velocity at ~24-26, ~31-42, and 54.5-63% during the glide phase duration was found for males in the Fly-Kick first technique. Males also displayed a higher peak (3.29 m·s<sup>-1</sup>) and mean velocity (1.58-1.65 m·s<sup>-1</sup>) in the total underwater path or in the glide and propulsion phases of both pullout techniques.

Data collection spanned four sessions, each separated by full rest. The isokinetic strength of the hip, knee, and ankle flexion and extension was measured using a dynamometer at 60°/s, 180°/s, and 240°/s. Endurance was assessed at 240°/s through 25 repetitions, analyzing peak torque changes. On the first day, participants performed general warm-ups followed by balance and strength tests. Subsequent sessions repeated these tests with additional measurements. Results showed that proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation warm-ups significantly improved the static and dynamic balance compared to other methods. Peak torque measurements at all speeds also highlighted the superior effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation warm-ups. Additionally, this warm-up approach provided greater acute enhancement in knee joint isokinetic endurance. In conclusion, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation warm-ups increased the isokinetic strength, endurance, and balance in football players. Incorporating proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation warm-ups into football training especially for lower body preparation is recommended.
