<abstract>
<p>In athletics, achieving peak performance during competitions is crucial. Warm-up strategies play a crucial role in optimizing the strength-speed performance of sprinters in athletics, especially tailored to the physiological demands of speed events. The need to balance flexibility, prevent injuries, and enhance power output makes the selection of an effective warm-up protocol essential. This narrative review examines different warm-up methods used by athletes and their effects on strength-speed in sprinters in athletics. The main findings indicate that Foam Rolling (FR), Isometric Exercises and Pre-Competitive Massages have no significant effects on sprint performance. Static stretching and prolonged Pre-Competitive Massages have negative impacts on strength and power. The Vibration Platform enhances step length, step rate and running velocity, jump height and total number of jumps performed in a 30-s period in non-experienced sprinters. Eccentric Exercise increases vertical force, Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) demonstrates a reduction in 100-meter time and short-term improvement in vertical and horizontal jumps. Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) significantly improving jump height and flight time. Various warm-up methods have been identified, some focusing on flexibility, others potentially detrimental, and some enhancing strength and power. Implementing effective warm-ups, particularly those promoting strength and power, poses a challenge for coaches seeking reliable alternatives to boost performance.</p>

<body>
<sec id="s1" sec-type="intro"><label>1</label><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Warming up is a procedure that is used in mostly all sports with the intention to gradually adapt the body physically and mentally for the main activity afterwards, preparing athletes for subsequent stress to enhance this activity performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>&#x2013;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>), and to reduce the risk of injuries during that activity (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>). Although the positive effects of warm-up have been well-documented, negative effects have also been noted. Long warm-ups have been reported to cause fatigue and may detract from performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>).</p>
<p>Common warm-ups include cardio activities like calisthenics, dynamic stretching, or sport-specific movements, in athletics, particularly speed events, jumps, and throws, involve explosive efforts lasting a few seconds (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>). Optimal results in these disciplines require strength and speed, making it essential to maximize power for enhanced sports performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>). Adequate preparation, with a crucial emphasis on warm-up, aims to ready athletes for competition and acutely enhance sports performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>). An effective warm-up is known to improve athletes&#x0027; physical performance and reduce the risk of sports injuries (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>). However, the challenge lies in the variety of warm-up methods, as not all align with the physiological demands of the task and may have negative effects on sports performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>). Therefore, identifying the most optimal warm-up for athletics is critical.</p>
<p>This work aims to discuss the types of warm-ups used in athletics and their impact on the strength-speed or power variable to maximize competition performance, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art regarding the effect of warm-up on athlete performance.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s2"><label>2</label><title>Types of warm-ups used in athletics</title>
<p>Based on a literature review and observations from national and international championships, professional training sessions, and athlete warm-ups, the following warm-up methods can be summarized:</p>
<sec id="s2a"><label>2.1</label><title>Foam rolling</title>
<p>Warm-up method in which athletes use their bodyweight to apply rolling pressure to the soft tissues to the target muscles (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>). Foam rolling (FR) is a form of self-massage in which the targeted musculature is rolled and compressed utilizing a FR device (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>).</p>
<p>Consequently, FR can be considered a form of self-induced massage because the pressure that the roller exerts on the muscles resembles the pressure exerted on the muscles through manual manipulation by the user himself (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>).

<p>This warm-up method is characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex and occurs when a force applied to the muscle exceeds the momentary force of the muscle itself (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B40">40</xref>), resulting in the forced lengthening of the muscle-tendon system while contracting (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B41">41</xref>).

<p>This warm-up method involves maximal or submaximal stimuli that provide a window of improvement in muscle power (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>), this improvement depends on the balance of fatigue and potentiation, which in turn depends on the type of exercise, volume, intensity and recovery time (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">51</xref>). Originally defined by Robbins (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">52</xref>), PAP is a phenomenon by which the force exerted by a muscle is increased due to its previous contraction.

<sec id="s3" sec-type="discussion"><label>3</label><title>Discussion</title>
<p>Initially, we encountered warm-ups focused on the acute increase in flexibility. While flexibility plays a crucial role in preventing musculoskeletal injuries (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>), prolonged flexibility-focused warm-ups may contribute to injuries and a decline in sports performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">61</xref>). It has even been demonstrated that a single session of static stretching can significantly reduce maximum strength and power (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">62</xref>). However, if a choice must be made between static and dynamic stretching, dynamic stretching presents greater benefits compared to static stretching and no stretching at all (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">63</xref>). Similar outcomes are obtained with massages as a warm-up method, as they do not directly enhance performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B64">64</xref>) and may only influence flexibility without impacting motor capabilities (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">65</xref>), potentially being detrimental if excessively long. The same caution should be applied to dynamic stretching and foam roller use if done excessively (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B66">66</xref>). In the same way, the use of foam rolling as a warm-up activity (i.e., pre-rolling) is still in question, some evidence indicate that pre-rolling causes a small acute improvement in sprint performance and flexibility, while its effect on jump and strength performance was negligible (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>).</p>
<p>Interestingly the effects of pre-rolling on sprint performance seem to be more relevant for elite athletes, while it is possible that recreationally active individuals may not benefit substantially from pre-rolling (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>).</p>
<p>Vibration platform exercises and isometric exercises do not seem to significantly influence strength, as indicated in <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table&#x00A0;1</xref>. Some authors argue against the performance-enhancing effects of a vibration platform protocol (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">68</xref>), and isometric warm-up shows similar results in speed compared to a dynamic stretching protocol (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">69</xref>).</p>

<p>Regarding jumping warm-up, an improvement in strength and power is observed, but contrary to Creekmur&#x0027;s statement, other authors have concluded that it does not impact subsequent running performance (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">70</xref>). More research is necessary, in order to clarify the effects of jumping warm-up on running performance.</p>
<p>Eccentric exercises and Post-Activation Potentiation result in an acute performance increase, even reflected in subsequent races (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B71">71</xref>). However, implementing these methods in athletics competitions poses challenges due to time constraints and equipment logistics dictated by athletics regulations (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">72</xref>). Additionally, the neuromuscular effects of eccentric exercises, including a potential decrease in maximum strength and force development rate, must be considered (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">73</xref>).</p>
<p>Blood flow restriction (BFR) warm-up, as mentioned earlier, shows gains in power and jump height. Some authors suggest that working with BFR reduces fatigue, providing a longer interval to benefit from post-activation potentiation (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B60">60</xref>). However, more information is needed to determine its impact on improving running times.</p>
<p>Finally, the warm-ups reported in this review are based on what has been observed in national and international championships, as well as information gathered from the literature. The most used warm-ups include two types of stretching, static and dynamic stretching, the use of a foam roller, and to a lesser extent, jumps. Other warm-up techniques are challenging to implement in competition settings as they require greater equipment or weights, which would be prohibited in the athletics warm-up area due to safety reasons.</p>
<sec id="s3a"><label>3.1</label><title>Limitations</title>
<p>As this is a narrative review, the authors attempted to reflect the essential state of the literature by performing an extended study search. However, because there is a vast number of studies, especially regarding the effects of stretching on flexibility in humans, it was necessary to focus the literature search, which possibly led to some studies missing in the review article. To analyze studies addressing our research question, we started by screening recent systematic review articles addressing the topic (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">39</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">50</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">58</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">65</xref>). Subsequently, related articles and reference lists were screened to find articles excluded in the aforementioned systematic reviews. Furthermore, only studies that investigated the effects of warm-up on strength or strength-related parameters, such as maximal torque, maximal voluntary contractions (eccentric, isometric, or concentric), and muscle power, were considered in this review.</p>
</sec>
</sec>
<sec id="s4" sec-type="conclusions"><label>4</label><title>Conclusion</title>
<p>Warm-ups should be individualized and sport specific. An inappropriate warm-up could be detrimental, negatively affecting strength. In the case of athletics, the warm-up should focus on increasing the subjects&#x0027; power. While effective protocols exist, their applicability is limited. Therefore, working with blood flow restriction could be a beneficial tool, but further research is required to understand its real effects and whether it enhances competition performance.</p>
