The purpose of this investigation was to quantify the effects of a warm-up with static or dynamic stretching on various measures of performance and range of motion. Eleven female NCAA Division I varsity volleyball players participated in this investigation. Participants underwent three randomized testing sessions of either a static stretching, control, or dynamic stretching session. Performance variables of force, power output, vertical jumping ability, and range of motion were measured and analyzed at time intervals of 1, 5, 15, and 25 minutes post-stretch on a force plate using a Vertec apparatus. Significant differences were found in peak power output, relative peak power output, and vertical jumping ability. Significant differences were also determined at 1 and 5 minutes post stretch as well as between trials of static stretching vs. dynamic stretching, dynamic stretching vs. static stretching, but not static stretching vs. control. There may be a critical point in a post-stretch time period (< 25 minutes) where an athlete who engages in their typical dynamic stretching regimen has compromised performance.
