Summary

This study will explore how different warm-up durations (5, 10, and 20 minutes) affect performance in youth basketball players. Using a basketball-specific routine, it will measure changes in jumping, sprinting, and agility. The goal is to find out which warm-up length best prepares young athletes for high-intensity play.

Detailed description

This study aims to examine the effects of different warm-up durations (5, 10, and 20 minutes) on physical performance in highly trained youth basketball players aged 12-16. Using a standardized basketball-specific warm-up structure (BasketUp), the study will assess how each duration influences key performance outcomes such as vertical jump, agility, and sprint speed. The goal is to determine whether a longer or shorter warm-up is more beneficial for optimizing performance in high-intensity team sports like basketball, providing practical guidance for coaches and sports professionals working with young athletes.

Conditions

• Jumping Performance
• Speed
• Agility

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	BasketUp Warm-up	BasketUp is a basketball-specific warm-up program designed to meet the sport's physical and physiological demands. Based on the FIFA 11+ structure, it includes three blocks: mobility, strength and plyometrics, and agility with neurocognitive exercises. The program progresses weekly and can be adapted in duration and volume to fit different training needs.
