| description | Background and objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate
the effect of specific warm-up on squat and bench press resistance training.
Methods: Thirty-four resistance-trained males (23.53 ± 2.35
years) participated in the current study. Among these, 12 were evaluated in the
squat and 22 in the bench press. After determining the maximal strength load
(1RM), each participant performed a training set (3 × 6 repetitions)
with 80% 1RM (training load) after completing a specific warm-up and without
warming up, in random order. The warm-up comprised 2 × 6 repetitions
with 40% and 80% of the training load, respectively. Mean propulsive velocity,
velocity loss, peak velocity, mechanical power, work, heart rate and ratings of
perceived exertion were assessed.
Results: The results showed that after the warm-up, the participants
were able to perform the squat and bench press at a higher mean propulsive
velocity in the first set (squat: 0.68 ± 0.05 vs. 0.64 ± 0.06
m⋅s-1, p = 0.009, ES = 0.91; bench press: 0.52 ± 0.06 vs.
0.47 ± 0.08 m⋅s-1, p = 0.02, ES = 0.56). The warm-up
positively influenced the peak velocity (1.32 ± 0.12 vs. 1.20 ± 0.11
m⋅s-1, p = 0.001, ES = 1.23) and the time to reach peak velocity
(593.75 ± 117.01 vs. 653.58 ± 156.53 ms, p = 0.009, ES =
0.91) during the squat set.
Conclusion: The specific warm-up seems to enhance neuromuscular actions
that enable a higher movement velocity during the first training repetitions and
to allow greater peak velocities in less time. |
