EFFECT OF WARM-UP WITH WEIGHT MACHINE AND ELASTIC TUBES ON REACTIVE AGILITY AND VERTICAL JUMP PERFORMANCE IN BASKETBALL PLAYERS

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study and compare the effect of warm-up with weight machine, elastic tubes and dynamic warm-up on reactive agility and vertical jump performance. Twelve subjects were basketball players in the Faculty of Sports Science at Kasetsart University, Kampaengsaen campus. Subjects performed 3 different warm-up protocols which are 5RM Smith machine squats, 5RM Resistance tubes squats and dynamic warm-up. Jumping performance and reactive agility were measured by Kinematic Measurement System (KMS) Timing System (Fitness technology). The data were analyzed by using one way ANOVA with repeated measure and the multiple comparisons testing using by Tukey’s method. All testing used the 0.05 level of significance.
The results of this study showed that the highest value of mean difference of counter movement jump height after warm-up was found in dynamic warm-up (0.423 ±0.064 m), followed by 5RM Resistance tubes squats (0.408 ±0.060 m) and barbell smith machine squats (0.404 ±0.065 m) at 0.05 level. However, there were no significance differences of the reactive agility among the 3 different warm-up protocols.
