Abstract :Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 3 different warm-up phases on endurance performance. Method: The subjects in U-15 and U-17 soccer players participated in the study. Athletes were made to perform 3 different warm-up phases including traditional, 1x5 minutes 5:5 SSG and 1x5 minutes SSG plus 40+40 m sprint lasting 20 minutes in total. After each warm-up phase, the intensity of the warm-up was recorded with the degree of rate of perceived exertion (RPE) with a Borg scale of 20, and endurance performances of the athletes were determined by applying 30-15 intermittent fitness test (30-15IFT). RPE, maximal aerobic running speed (MAS) and maximum oxygen consumption capacity (VO2max) were determined after 30-15IFT. Results: While there was a significant difference between the RPE values after warm-up, MAS and VO2max values after 30-15IFT (p 0.05). In U-17 team athletes, statistical significance was obtained between RPE after 3 different warm-ups, RPE after 30-15IFT, MAS and VO2max values (p<0.05). Statistically, although SSG and SSG+sprint warm-ups were more difficult than traditional warm-ups, they were found to have a more positive effect on MAS and VO2max. In addition, although the addition of 40+40 m sprint practice to the warm-ups applied with SSG caused the intensity of the warm-up to increase more, and positive effect on endurance performance. Conclusion: The SSG game by adding 5 minutes of sprint practice in traditional warm-ups may have a positive effect on endurance performance.
