An interventional study of Warm-up (specifically, Post-Activation Performance Enhancement) in No Condition, Basic Science, sponsored by Universidade do Porto. Completed at 1 site in Portugal. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-16.
Sponsored by Universidade do Porto · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The study aimed to investigate the post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) of the special judo fitness test (SJFT) of youth judo athletes using upper-body (isometric push-ups), lower-body (standing broad jumps), or their combination as conditioning exercise (CE).
Fourteen females (aged 16.5 ± 0.8 yrs) and nine males (aged 17.0 ± 0.9 yrs) performed the three CEs or a control condition (i.e., judo-specific warm-up) in a randomized crossover method. The SJFT was conducted one minute after the CE or control condition.
Universidade do Porto is the lead sponsor of 170 studies on the registry; 52 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Half of the judo-specific protocol + 3 sets of 10-second hold isometric push-ups.
Other: Warm-up (specifically, Post-Activation Performance Enhancement)
Half of the judo-specific protocol + 3 sets of 6 repetitions of standing broad jump.
Other: Warm-up (specifically, Post-Activation Performance Enhancement)
Half of the judo-specific protocol + 3 sets of 3 repetitions of standing broad jump + 3 sets of 5-second hold isometric push-ups.
Other: Warm-up (specifically, Post-Activation Performance Enhancement)
Judo-specific exercises that included 10 repetitions of ukemi drills (i.e., front, back, side, and rolling), 2 sets of 10 repetitions of "rapid" uchikomi drills (i.e., throwing drills), 2 sets of 1 minute of kumikata fight (i.e., grip fight), and 2 sets of 10 repetitions of nagekomi (i.e., practice throws).
Other: Warm-up (specifically, Post-Activation Performance Enhancement)
Assess which intervention delivered the best acute performance enhancements.
