Abstract :

The static stretching has been found to enhance flexibility and reduce muscle tension, and dynamic warm up exercises raises core body and deep muscle temperatures, stimulates the nervous system, decreases the inhibition of antagonist muscles, and possibly reduces the risk of injury. Children are often encouraged to participate in some type of warm-up before vigorous physical activity, Warm-up is one of the most common practices at the beginning of Physical Education (PE) classes in schools. The aim of the study was to compare the immediate effects of static stretching versus dynamic warm-up exercises on vertical jump performance in 12 – 16 years school students. The 100 Participant (Boys and Girls) were taken, aged between 12 years to 16 years in 2 groups as Group A static stretching (n = 50) and Group B dynamic warm up exercises (n = 50). The pre assessment was taken before intervention and post assessment was taken after intervention. The study revealed an improvement in vertical jump performance in both intra groups (group A and group B). However, the results of the intergroup study revealed that dynamic warm-up exercises (group B) are more effective than static stretching (group A) in improving vertical jump performance in school students.
