Abstract
Warm-up protocols play a critical role in enhancing athletic performance and reducing injury risks. However, the comparative effects of modern and traditional warm-up methods on physiological and motor characteristics remain unclear. This study employed a cross-controlled experimental design involving 20 U-17 male football players. Participants alternated between modern and traditional warm-up protocols across two consecutive days. Data on body temperature, maximum heart rate, total running distance, high-speed running (HSR), sprint distance, maximum speed, acceleration, and deceleration were collected. Both warm-up protocols effectively increased body temperature (average 1.5 ± 0.3°C), with no significantly difference observed between them. The traditional protocol resulted in significantly higher total running distance (2200 ± 150 m), HSR (750 ± 90 m), sprint distance (450 ± 60 m), and maximum speed (28.5 ± 1.2 km/h) compared to the modern protocol (p 0.05). No significant differences were found in acceleration and deceleration counts between the two protocols. The findings suggest that both protocols are effective for basic physiological preparation, but the traditional warm-up method is superior for enhancing motor performance parameters critical for football. These results emphasize the importance of tailoring warm-up strategies to the specific demands of the sport and individual player needs.
