Effect of active and passive warm-up on anaerobic power of dealing with individual and team sports athletes

The aim of this study was to investigastion the effect of active and passive warm-up on anaerobic power of athletes. Male athletes (n=24) who participated in individual and team sports, were participated in this study. Age, height, weight, upper and lower extremity anaerobic power measures were applied. Three different warm-up trial that were nonwarm-up (control), passive warm-up and active warm-up were applied on athletes. Between trials, 24 hour resting was gave. For anaerobic power measures, Wingate test protocol that was for upper and lower extremities was applied. For lower exremity Monark 894E and for upper exremity Monark 891E bicycle ergometers were used. Repeated measures one way ANOVA test and Post-Hoc LSD correction were used for between warn-up trials analysis. According to obtained data, in all upper exremity anaerobic power parameters, significance was determined between active warm-up trial to control trial (p<0.05). In all lower exremity anaerobic power parameters, significance has determined between active warm-up and control trial (p<0.05). As a conclusion, it could be said that active warm-up protocol has positive effects on anaerobic power compared to other warm-up protocols.
