This study aims to examine the acute effects of an elastic band warm-up on sprinting and vertical jump performance in female football players. A crossover design will be used across three separate sessions: (1) standardized warm-up (WU), (2) warm-up followed by elastic band activation (WU + EB), and (3) elastic band activation followed by the warm-up (EB + WU).
Performance evaluations-including sprint time and vertical jump height and power-will be conducted at three time points during each session: baseline (before the warm-up), immediately after the warm-up intervention, and 10 minutes post-intervention. This structure will allow the study to compare the immediate and short-term effects of different warm-up sequences involving elastic bands on neuromuscular performance. The findings may help optimize warm-up strategies to enhance acute athletic performance in female football players.
