CUTE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT WARM UP PROTOCOLS ON 1- REPETITION MAXIMUM SQUAT PERFORMANCE

In this study, the aim was to define maximal squat repetition performance (1-RM) of different warm up protocols. The sample group of this study consists of 9 males (age: 25 ± 4.1 years, stature: 173.22 ± 8.46 cm, body mass: 75 ± 8.37 kg) who were doing regular fitness for at least 3 years. This group performed 4 different warm up protocols on non-consecutive days. Warm up protocols were determined as follows: light jogging for only 5 minutes, light jogging and static warm up for 5 minutes, light jogging and dynamic warm up for 5 minutes, light jogging for 5 minutes and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. "Repeated Measures Anova" test was used to determine the effect of different warm up protocols on 1-RM of the study data, and "Bonferroni" analysis of multiple comparison tests was used to determine which warm up protocol was favored for the performance. As a result of this study, participants' 1 maximal squat performance was found to be statistically different between NW (120.56 kg), PNF (112.78kg), SW (106.67kg), DW (122.22kg) respectively (p<0.05). Additionally, 1-RM squat performance values were observed highest after dynamic warm up. Dynamic warm up protocols are recommended to trainers and sportsmen in order to get more performance before the squat movement
