The purpose of this study was assessment of the effects of different types of warm up
exercise on muscular strength and power of male college students. The subjects of the test were
10 college students who were studying at S University in Chungcheongnam-do who had no
problems with their knee joints. Prior to participation in the study, the purpose of the study and
procedures were carefully explained to participants. Test subjects were given one of three
different warm up protocols and the subjects to perform an isokinetic exercise. The measuring
instrument used in this experiment is the HUMAC NORM(Testing & Rehabilitation system).Test
subjects repeated the exercise five times at 60°/sec to measure muscular strength, and three
times at 180°/sec to measure the muscular power. The result of this study revealed the highest
positive effect when performing plyometrics warm up and a lower postive effect for general warm
up compared to not performing any warm up exercise. It is advisable to conduct plyometrics warm
up exercise for positive effect on muscular strength and power of male collage students before exercise.
