Comparing warm-up routines to improve performance in competitive young swimmers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

All swimmers will first complete a pool-based warm-up and baseline tests, then in a randomized within-subject design each participant will perform three different plyometric warm-up protocols on separate occasions. Main outcomes (e.g., countermovement jump and short-term performance measures) will be recorded at multiple time points after each protocol. Data will be analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA to compare conditions over time, with effect sizes reported and significance set at p < 0.05. The work is conducted at A.S.D. Swim Power in Bagheria under the University of Palermo.
