Abstract

In the absence of evidence to support the use of static stretching to increase the physical performance the research turned to the warm-up procedures, which aims to prepare the body for more intense physical activity. The results of this study may contribute to the understanding of the effect of various warm-up protocols on exercise performance. The aim of this study was to compare the intermittent exercise performance two warm-up protocols. Eight physically active male subjects participated of this study. The intermittent exercise involved ten all-out 6-s cycling sprints on a cycle ergometer, loaded to 7,5% of body weight, interspersed with 30 seconds of passive recovery. The warm-up protocol A involved a intermittent warmup, five minutes, with three all-out six seconds and increasing work rate. The warmup protocol B involved five minutes of continuous exercise. Shapiro-Wilk normality test was used, after Shapiro-Wilk test, T-test and the Wilcoxon test was used according to data distribution. There were significant differences in favor of warm-up protocol A in the higher power generated during the test and for the first three blocks of effort. These results suggest that performance during short bout of high-intensity intermittent exercise is influenced by warm-up type.
