This study examined the short-term training effects of two volumes of a dynamic warm up
performed 4 days per week over a 3 1/2-week period. A total of 25 Division III wrestlers
volunteered for the study. Three participants either dropped out or were unable to attend
post-testing, resulting in 22 total participants completing the study. Groups were divided
into control, low volume, and high volume groups. All participants completed pre and poststudy
performance tests including the standing long jump, proagility, start-stop-cut, and 30-
meter sprint. The low and high volume training groups each performed the same dynamic
warm up prior to each pre-season captain's practice. The control group did not participate
in an organized warm up. The low volume group performed one set of each warm up
exercise, and the high volume group performing two sets of each warm up exercise. Data
analysis indicated significant increases in performance for the standing long jump (p =
.011) and start-stop-cut (p = .000) measures among the entire sample population. However,
there was no significant difference between the groups in these measures. No significant
results were found either for the sample as a whole or between groups for the proagility and
30-meter measures. The increased performance of all groups, including the control group,
fails to provide evidence for the effectiveness of training with either warm up volume.
Further research is needed to address limitations of this study to determine effectiveness of
various warm up volumes.
