Acute effects of the RAMP warm-up on sprint and jump performance in youth soccer players by Fatma Gözlükaya Girginer, Sinan Seyhan, Görkem Açar, Muhammed Fatih Bilici, Ömer Faruk Bilici, Çağlar Soylu

“…Performance was assessed using 30-m sprint and vertical jump tests, each performed twice per session with the best trial recorded for analysis.ResultsA one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that both vertical jump height and sprint performance differed significantly across conditions (p < 0.05). Post hoc Bonferroni comparisons indicated that the RAMP group exhibited superior results compared with static stretching (Effect size: d = 0.41) and control (Effect size: d = 0.52), while no notable difference was observed between static stretching and control conditions.DiscussionThese results suggest that the structured progression of the RAMP protocol—combining exercises that elevate body temperature, activate key muscle groups, improve mobility, and enhance neuromuscular readiness—can acutely enhance explosive strength and sprint speed by effectively priming the neuromuscular system. …”
