Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a plyometric exercise performed during a typical sprint warm up on subsequent 20 and 40 meter sprint performances. Testing was conducted in two testing sessions on consecutive Mondays. Subjects were randomly selected to either an experimental group or control group for the first testing session, and then groups were switched for the second testing session. The test consisted of a warm up followed by three 40 meter sprint trials with splits recorded at 20 and 40 meters. The experimental group performed the same warm up, but prior to the sprint trials, performed 2x8 plate jumps. Results showed a 1.15% decrease in average 20 meter sprint time and 1.24% decrease in 40 meter sprint time with the experimental group. (p<0.05). Results indicate that incorporating a plyometric into your warm up may enhance sprint performance.
