Abstract
Coaches and teachers of physical education have advocated warm-up before performance in sports with the intention of producing optimal work performance and prevention of injury. It was the purpose of this study to determine the effects of static stretching and continuous warm-up on oxygen debt and deficit in trained females whose ages ranged from 15 to 31 years of age. Twenty trained subjects ran on a treadmill at 7 mph for 10 minutes following each mode of warm-up on two occasions. Oxygen debt and deficit was determined under both conditions. It was hypothesized that the mode utilizing continuous warm-up would produce a smaller oxygen debt and deficit. A one-way repeated measure ANOVA was utilized with Pearson Correlations to determine the significance of the mean differences and the relationship among the dependent variables respectively. There was no significant difference between oxygen debt and oxygen deficit in either mode of warm-up. In terms of the oxygen debt-deficit relationship, this research does not support warm-up as beneficial physiologically. This does not suggest that warm-up could not ultimately be beneficial in terms of other physiological factors such as muscle viscosity, muscle temperature, and flexibility. Possible psychological benefits could also be obtained from wanning-up. More research in the area of warm-up and its' relationship to various physiological as well as psychological variables is needed.
