Abstract :Numerous variables can affect performance before the competition. Nevertheless, it could be a subject of curiosity to find out whether a warm-up strategy has a more positive effect on the power performance of kickboxers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of different specific warm-up protocols and time of day on optimum power performance in kickboxers. Ten volunteer males performed three different warm-up routines in random order. The warm-up protocols consisted of only 20 min for each group. The groups with low-intensity aerobic running insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NSWU); and specific warm-ups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SWU-20m); performed 20-min protocols. The other group followed 10 minutes of jogging and 10 minutes of specific warm-up insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SWU-10m);. All groups followed the warm-up randomly at two different periods of the day insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i.e. morning: 09:00-10:00 and evening: 16:00-17:00); on non-consecutive days. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of Mean Propulsion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(F=3.518; p2=0.036);. There was a statistically significant difference in Mean propulsive Power insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W); between NSWU and SWU-10m insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p3= 0.0007); in addition there was also a statistically significant difference in SWU-10m and SWU-20m insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p3= 0.0106); and, NSWU and SWU-20m insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p3= 0.415); protocols. In conclusion, mean propulsion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(W); performance showed diurnal variation, and performances of the kickboxers’ can be affected more positively in the evening hours, especially after SWU protocols.
