Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how the order of performing drop jumps (DJ) and dynamic stretching (DS) affects sprinting performance among competitive athletes.
- Thirteen male athletes participated in three different conditions (DS+DJ, DJ+DS, and control) after a standard warm-up, and their sprinting performance over 40 meters was measured.
- Results indicated that doing dynamic stretching before drop jumps improved final acceleration during sprinting, while the opposite order negatively impacted initial acceleration; lower-powered athletes gained the most benefit from this approach.
