Abstract
In basketball, during the game player must be able to continuously perform intermittent activities ranging from low- to high-intensity activity and/or recovery. High-intensity intermittent activities such as jumps (rebounds, blocks, shots), change of direction, dribbling, sprints, screens and low-intensity activities such as walking, deceleration are necessary in order to succeed during basketball games. In order to do a training session or play a basketball games the preparation of the body is necessary. We achieve this goal during the warm-up which is the main factor for achieving the optimal performance and to be ready for training or game related loads. The main aim of our study was to investigate the effect of different warm-ups on basketball player’s power indicators during simulated basketball games. Two different types of warm-up were analysed: anaerobic alactic and anaerobic alactic/lactic. Twenty high level basketball players were recruited for this study. Countermovement jump (CMJ) and 20-meter sprint were measured before the warm-up, after the warm-up and after each quarter of the simulated basketball games. It was found, that both anaerobic alactic and anaerobic alactic/ lactic warm-ups significantly increased CMJ, however the anaerobic alactic warm-up group which had muscle potentiation loads during the warm-up routine showed better results in CMJ compered to anaerobic alaktic/ lactic warm-up group (p < 0.05). Evaluation of the power reflecting tests results during the simulated basketball game showed that both CMJ and 20-meter sprint results were better in anaerobic alactic warm-up group. These findings suggests that anaerobic alactic warm-up with potentiating exercises is the most effective for basketball players. This type of warm-up increases the power reflecting tests results during the simulated games the most. Keywords: basketball, warm-up, match, power. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15823/sm.2018.6
