The effects of warm-up intensity on anaerobic performance and metabolic recovery in male children

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of warm-up intensity on anaerobic performance and recovery in children. Six male children (11.0 ± 0.6 yr) performed an IAT following a mild (85% of VAT), intense (115% of VAT), or no warm-up protocol. VAT was determined during a previously performed GXT. A catheter allowed for multiple blood samples drawn thoughout each trial. Performance indices, PP, MP, TW, and FI%, were not significantly different across trials. Blood analysis revealed significant interactions for recovery [LA] and [HC03-], although no significant interaction for pH values. There was also a significant interaction for V02 recovery pattern. The ALA (5.2 vs. 7.1 mmol•1-1, respectively) and AHC03- (6.1 vs. 8.4 mmol-l-1, respectively) were significantly lower for the AVAT trial compared to NWU trial. These data indicate that the AVAT warm-up resulted in less acid-base balance disturbance suggesting greater dependence on aerobic metabolism during the IAT. / School of Physical Education
