(2024). Effects of different pre-exercise strategies on jumping performance in female volleyball players. The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness.0022-47071827-1928https://doi.org/10.23736/s0022-4707.24.16196-8https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14619/14966BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to compare different pre-exercise strategies on jumping performance in female volleyball players. METHODS: Fifteen healthy female volleyball players (age=18±0.6 years; training experience = 7.3±1.4 years; height = 164.8±5.4 cm; body mass = 57.2±8.1 kg) volunteered to participate in the study. Three different pre-exercise conditions (5 repetition maximum knee extension, electromyostimulation [EMS] and ischemic preconditioning [IPC]) were applied to the subjects and compared to a control condition performing a standardized warmup. Subjects performed the squat jump and 15 sec repeated countermovement jumps following a rest period. Measures associated with jumping performance were collected and compared between conditions. Rating of perceived exertion was also collected after each performance test. RESULTS: No pre-exercise condition outperformed a standardized warm-up on inducing improvements in jumping performance and in fact, EMS and IPC conditions resulted in performance decrements compared to control (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that a standardized warm-up is enough to induce improvements in jumping performance in female volleyball players. Future research should examine alternative strategies alongside standardized warm-up to determine how best to prepare for jumping and related sport-specific tasks in female volleyball players.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBlood flow restriction therapyIschemic preconditioningTeam sportsArticle10.23736/s0022-4707.24.16196-82-s2.0-85212991040139360986Q25965WOS:001329671700001Q3
