Abstract
This study investigates the effect of three different warm-up protocols on instantaneous power, mean power, and fatigue index during a 20-second Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT). Thirteen males and three females (mean [+/- SD], age and VO2peak 24.6y +/-4.47 and 57.5ml/kg/min +/-5.60) completed a 5-minute, 50w warm-up on the Lode Cycle Ergometer then did either a dynamic warm-up (DWU), static stretching (SS) or no additional warm-up (WU). After each warm-up the subjects rested 5 minutes before completing the WAnT. No significant differences were found in the instantaneous power or fatigue index between any of the warm-up protocols. The DWU produced significantly higher mean power when compared to the SS (p-value = 0.003). When the WAnT results were broken down into 5-second segments, it was found that the DWU power was significantly greater than WU power without considering 5-second segments (main effect) (p = 0.031). In conclusion, when preparing for a short bout of high intensity cycling, the DWU trial would be more beneficial than either the SS or WU in readying the body for the effort.
