About this study
Official title: Acute Effects of Warm-Up Protocols With and Without Foam-Roller and TheraBand on the Biomechanical Function of Professional Taekwondo Athletes
The goal of this clinical trial was to compare the immediate effects of three warm-up methods in professional taekwondo athletes. The warm-up methods were dynamic warm-up, Theraband exercises, and foam rolling.
The main questions were whether these warm-up methods had different immediate effects on: muscle activity and the timing of muscle activation; movement-related measures recorded using an inertial measurement unit (IMU); agility; and range of motion.

Researchers compared the three warm-up methods to determine whether they produced different immediate changes in these measures.
Participants completed the warm-up protocols according to the study procedures. They also performed physical and movement tests, including single-leg squat and jump squat tasks. Researchers measured lower-limb muscle activity using surface electromyography (EMG). They also used an IMU and performance tests to assess movement, agility, and range of motion.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Foam Rolling Warm-UpBehavioural
Participants performed self-myofascial release using a standard foam roller over the gluteal, hamstring, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius muscles. Each muscle group was treated for three sets of 30 seconds, with 15 seconds of rest between sets and 30 seconds between muscle groups. Participants were instructed to maintain consistent pressure while avoiding excessive discomfort. The intervention was supervised by the same investigator.
Dynamic Stretching Warm-UpBehavioural
Participants performed a sequence of eight lower-extremity dynamic exercises: straight leg kicks, back kicks, high knees, skipping, knee-to-chest movements, leg cradles, lateral karaoke steps, and walking lunges. Each exercise was performed for two sets of 20 seconds, with 15 seconds of rest between sets and 30 seconds between exercises. The intervention was supervised by the same investigator.
Resistance Band Warm-UpBehavioural
Participants performed lower-extremity dynamic exercises using black TheraBand elastic bands providing approximately 4-6 kg of resistance at 100% elongation. The bands were positioned around the proximal thigh during selected movements, including walking lunges, high-knee skipping, and leg swings. Exercise duration and recovery intervals were identical to those used in the dynamic stretching protocol. The intervention was supervised by the same investigator.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The goal of this clinical trial was to compare the immediate effects of three warm-up methods in professional taekwondo athletes. The warm-up methods were dynamic warm-up, Theraband exercises, and foam rolling.
The main questions were whether these warm-up methods had different immediate effects on: muscle activity and the timing of muscle activation; movement-related measures recorded using an inertial measurement unit (IMU); agility; and range of motion.
Researchers compared the three warm-up methods to determine whether they produced different immediate changes in these measures.
Participants completed the warm-up protocols according to the study procedures. They also performed physical and movement tests, including single-leg squat and jump squat tasks. Researchers measured lower-limb muscle activity using surface electromyography (EMG). They also used an IMU and performance tests to assess movement, agility, and range of motion.

A study testing Foam Rolling Warm-Up, Dynamic Stretching Warm-Up and Resistance Band Warm-Up in people with Physical Fitness and Foam Roller, run by Guilan University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Electromyographic Activity Amplitude and Onset Timing of Lower-Extremity Muscles (time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention) and immediately post-intervention). The study lists 18 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07866729, which also lists 9 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2026.
