Aquecimento

This systematic review and meta-analysis of 32 high-quality studies (quality score >6 on the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale, mean 7.6/10) found warm-up activities improved subsequent physical performance in 79% of the outcomes examined, with little evidence that warming up harms performance. The authors note few well-conducted randomized controlled trials existed among the included literature, limiting causal certainty, and call for more RCTs to clarify warm-up's role in performance.

Scoping review (three databases searched from inception through March 2025, with an update to November 2025) of the acute effects of resistance-training-specific warm-up and re-warm-up strategies on subsequent dynamic strength performance in strength-trained males; included 19 studies on warm-up and 1 on re-warm-up, using 1RM, bar velocity, power, and total repetitions/volume load as outcomes. Reported that RT warm-ups increase 1RM in leg press and squat, that low relative loads lifted at maximal intended velocity optimize peak power at roughly 40% 1RM in bench press, that progressive-intensity (ramping) warm-ups increase bar velocity at 80% 1RM, and that warm-up loads of 45-90% 1RM increase total repetitions completed at 70-75% 1RM across several exercises; one study found re-warm-up improves squat mechanical performance. As a scoping (not meta-analytic) review it maps and describes findings rather than pooling effect sizes, and the abstract explicitly flags a notable research gap on re-warm-up strategies; the evidence base also skews toward trained males, but it is the most direct resistance-training-specific synthesis available on ramping-set warm-up structure.
