Effect of the functional dynamic warm-up on speed, power and core muscle endurance for adolescent

Abstract

There is seldom practical research on the science and effectiveness of warm-up in the area of our youth physical education. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a twelve-weeks functional dynamic warm-up (FDWU) intervention on the improvement of speed, power and core muscle endurance in the middle school students. The results of data indicated that applying FDWU in youth PF teaching area, instead of applying traditional regular warm-up, can significantly increase students’ skill and physical performance as well as prevent sports injury to some extent. Owing to its fresh and interesting style, rich and varied content, progressive difficulty level, scientific and effective training methods and flexible and convenient processing, FDWU could be inserted into any youth PE system as main course assistant complement.
