Forty-seven male non-athlete college students were respectively allocated to three separate groups: the traditional warm-up group (TG), dynamic warm-up group (DG), and the plyometric warm-up group (PG). The DG and PG showed statistically significant improvements in push-off, force, and power (p<0.001) when compared to the TG. No statistically significant differences were observed in jump height, flight time and velocity, and the effect sizes were small. The findings of this study showed that dynamic and plyometric warm-up protocols could influence CMJ performance among non-athlete college students.

Twentynine participants were assigned to either a control group to perform static and dynamic joint exercises or an experimental group to perform basic sprinting drill warm-up exercises. Both groups performed pre-, control, and post-standing long jump tests. Motion analysis of the knee and elbow joints was conducted in the sagittal plane by using video recording. Our findings support that basic sprint drill warm-up exercises can enhance the jump length in the youth. The implementation of warm-up exercises with basic sprint drills and motion analysis could be useful for determining the ranges of motion of the elbow and knee joints and improving standing long jump performance.

The CMJ test was performed in 45 male college non-athletes who were categorized into three groups: a dynamic exercise group performing dynamic exercises, a plyometric exercise group performing jumping exercises, and a control group performing traditional exercises for physical education. Motion analysis data from the knee joint angles were obtained during countermovements in the sagittal plane using video recording. The results showed that plyometric and dynamic exercises could improve jumping performance in college non-athletes and enhance the strength, force, and power of the lower limb muscles and joints. Furthermore, the motion analysis helped identify a range of motion of the knee joints during dynamic and plyometric exercises that contributes to jumping performance.

Twenty-seven non-athletes were distributed in a control group (CG) using habitual PE warm up exercises and an experimental group (EG) using basic sprint drills, and performed pre, control and post 50m sprint tests. Motion analysis data from the left leg ankle angle (LAA), right leg ankle angle (RAA) and strike pattern were obtained during landing moments in the sagittal plane using video recording. In accordance with our findings, basic sprint drill warm-ups can improve sprinting time in young girls and contribute to the strengthening of ankle muscles and joints. Motion analysis and the implementation of warm-ups with basic sprint exercises could help in the recognition of range of motion in ankle joints, and benefit sprint performance.
