Effect of FIFA 11+, Dynamic and Regular Warm-up Protocols on Speed, Agility, and Lower Limb Explosive Power in Badminton Players: A Quasi-experimental Study

Introduction: FIFA 11+, has already shown a positive response to the various physical parameters and reduced injury rates in football players, similar studies were not performed on badminton players.With this background, the present study was conducted.Aim: To compare the effects of FIFA 11+, dynamic warm-up, and regular badminton warm-up on speed, agility, and lower limb explosive power.Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in different badminton academies located in Faridabad, Haryana, India, from September 2017 to March 2019 with the implementation of the programme for four weeks with a sample size of 48 players (both male and female) aged between 14-18 years participated in the study.

The participants were divided randomly into group A; following FIFA 11+ protocol (11+ is a multifaceted warm-up program with four components- sprinting, strength, plyometric and balance), group B followed dynamic warm-up and group C followed their 5 Piece Modular Sectional regular UMBRELLAS warm-up.The players followed the protocols for four weeks (12 sessions with FIFA11+ for 15-20 minutes and dynamic warm-up of 15 minutes).A pre and postassessment was done for agility using a T-test, speed was assessed by a 10 m sprint, and Lower limb explosive power was assessed using the vertical jump test.The statistical tests used for analysis was the Post-Hoc Tukey test for between-group analysis and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) paired t-test for within-group analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.

0 software.Results: There was no statistical difference between the three groups when the Post-Hoc Tukey test was done.However, when within the group analysis was done using paired t-test there was statistically significant difference for agility in group A (p-value=0.030) and speed in group B (p-value=0.

021).Conclusion: This study concludes that none of the three groups out performed the other for all the parameters.
