Abstract

The competition warm-up is essential in the activation and preparation of the athlete. An adequate warm-up is observed to promote the athlete's performance and reduce the incidence of injuries during football competition. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the precompetitive warm-ups of various categories of Spanish semi-professional and amateur soccer, as well as their relationship with performance in competition. In addition, the effect on performance of the warm-up protocols developed during the game's break time was analyzed. Observational study developed through analysis of GPS variables. The results of the study show the conditional requirements of the competition warm-ups depending on the level of performance and demarcation. In addition, the relationship between the conditional requirements of the warm-ups and the first minutes of the competition can be observed. On the other hand, the incidence of rewarm-up is observed in the first minutes of the second half of the game. Warm-ups are an essential element in performance and prevention of sports injuries, especially during the first minutes of the competition. The rewarm-up in the second half of the game can be an interesting resource if it is carried out with enough time and an adequate intervention methodology.
