PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the speed (yard/sec) and power (Inertial Power Units) of an athlete via the modalities of a 20-yard dash (yards/sec), a broad jump (m), and a portable conical pulley (CP) (VersaPulley, Santa Ana, CA; Inertia 0.27 kg· m2) device. Subjects were tested after completing resistance versus non- resistance based warm-ups. Research of overall effectiveness of warm-ups in direct correlation to athletic performance has been field-tested in a variety of different forms. This study was designed to create a baseline for each athlete and then take the same warm -up and by applying …
