Dr. Narendra Gaur
Abstract
The primary objective of this investigation was to assess the impact of varying warm-up durations on the performance of the 100m backstroke event. A total of fifteen male swimmers, drawn from the Delhi, India. aged between 18 to 24 years, were selected through random sampling. Performance in the 100m backstroke was evaluated using a stopwatch to record the timing as the criterion measure. Statistical analysis was conducted utilizing a within-group design, with the level of significance set at 0.05. The study's outcomes revealed that there were no statistically significant differences observed across various warm-up durations concerning 100m backstroke performance. These findings offer valuable insights to sports professionals, including physical education instructors, trainers, and coaches. They suggest that training regimens may be formulated with a minimal warm-up duration of 15 minutes since the data indicated that no substantial improvements or significant alterations were associated with the selected physiological variables.
