dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the effect of active warm-up, to a 1·C increase in core temperature, and/or stretching, on selected physiological and performance variables during and following a 45-second, all-out cycle ergometer test. Ten male subjects performed the criterion cycle ergometer test (ACT) on four occasions, following active warm-up (A WU), stretching (S), active warm-up and stretching (A WUS), or no warm-up (C) protocols. Oxygen consumption was measured during active warm-up and the ACT, and heart rates and blood lactates were taken, 15 seconds and 3 minutes, post-ACT. There were no significant differences in V02 between A WU and C conditions over 15, 30, or 45 seconds of the ACT. Post-ACT heart rates were significantly higher following the A WU versus C protocol but differences in blood lactates were not significant. Following S, mean V02 was not different between the Sand C groups over 15 or 30 seconds of the ACT but was significantly higher for the C condition over 45 seconds. Heart rates and blood lactates were not significantly different. Mean V02 over 15, 30, and 45 seconds of the ACT and blood lactates were not different between A WUS and C conditions. Heart rates 15 seconds post-ACT were higher following the A WUS protocol. Despite differences in selected physiological variables, there were no significant differences in peak power or total work, which suggests that active warm-up and/or stretching does not influence performance of a criterion task which challenges anaerobic capacity.
