Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of three warm-up protocols (traditional, core stability, and elastic band exercises) on sports performance in elite male collegiate handball players.
- Results showed that both the core stability and elastic band protocols significantly improved performance metrics like sprinting, jumping, and throwing compared to the traditional warm-up.
- Specifically, the elastic band warm-up was particularly effective at enhancing upper-body performance, suggesting it should be included in warm-up routines before competitions or training.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the effects of three different warm-up methods on knee muscle performance in elite female collegiate handball players.
- It found that the combination of dynamic stretching and vibration foam rolling (DS + VR) resulted in improved knee flexion range of motion and reduced hamstring stiffness compared to general running warm-ups.
- Additionally, the DS + VR method enhanced hamstring muscle endurance more effectively than both general running and dynamic stretching alone.
