Beispieltext:
Athletes usually accomplish a warm-up program prior to each training session or competition.
The expected effects of this procedure are to achieve optimum performance
by preparing the athletes physically and mentally, in addition to minimizing the risk of
injury by preparing the muscles, tendons and joints for more strenuous activities (Alter,
1998; Walker, 2007; Young & Behm, 2002). However, the claimed effectiveness
of warm-ups on optimizing performance is usually based on the trial and error experience
of the athlete or coach, rather than on scientific study. Furthermore, the research
of warming-up shows conflicting results (Bishop, 2003b).
Warm-ups typically contain three basic components: most athletes begin with lowintensity
aerobic components such as running, swimming, cycling etc. in order to el evate
the heart rate and respiratory rate, and to increase the muscle temperature. Then,
athletes stretch the specific muscles involved in the following activity. Finally practi cing
some of the sport specific warm-ups which involve rehearsing of the skills, movements
and actions which are about to be performed in the following sporting event
(Walker, 2007; Wiemeyer, 2002; Young & Behm, 2002).
Stretching is commonly included in the warm-up in both training and competitive situations
(Ylinen, 2008), in addition to the use of stretching separately in order to improve
the flexibility. Although there are various types and methods of stretching, there
still remains the static stretching (primarily passive) the most popular method used in
the warm-up (Young & Behm, 2002). Since the static stretching came into view, especially
after the propagation from Anderson (1980), Sölveborn (1983) and Knebel
(1985), static stretching is often prescribed to athletes in the belief that a stretched
muscle helps reduce muscular injuries and that it prepares the muscle for the mechanical
twitch tension involved in the following activity (Wiemann & Klee, 2000). The
world’s most popular stretching authority Bob Anderson with more than three million
sold copies worldwide of his book “stretching”, reported:
