An analysis of differences between prerest and postrest arousal measures (heart rate, positive cognitive arousal, and negative cognitive arousal) revealed that all of the interpolated activities except additional rest restored arousal to levels near those found at the end of prerest trials. Postrest WUD was also eliminated by practice swings and air dribbling and, to a slightly lesser extent, by running in place. We concluded that an effective warm-up for open skills such as the tennis groundstroke should include some form of overt physical activity that directs the attention of the performer to task-relevant cues.From the supplier: The activity-set hypothesis regarding warm-up decrement refers to the inadequate readiness to respond that occurs when relevent support systems are not properly adjusted prior to the resumption of task performance. This hypothesis was tested on tennis players perfoming ground strokes interrrupted with either rest periods or four forms of warm-up activities with task-relevant cues. The results showed that the warm-up activities restored arousal levels near those found at the end of prerest trials. Therefore, physical activities that direct attention to task-relevant cues constitute effective warm-up for open skills such as the tennis groundstroke.Citation Details
