Resumen
This study aims to analyze the effect of different types of warm-ups on handgrip strength
(HGS) in physically inactive older females. Secondarily, it aims to compare HGS according to their
baseline nutritional status. A randomized crossover trial study was conducted with 44 physically
inactive older females distributed into normal weight (n = 12, BMI = 23.9 ± 3.2 kg/m2
), overweight
(n =16, BMI = 27 ± 4.7 kg/m2
) and obese (n = 16, BMI = 31.6 ± 5.3 kg/m2
), who participated in three
warm-up conditions (static stretching condition, SSC; elastic band condition, EBC; and therapeutic
compression ball condition, TCBC) and one control condition (CC, no warm-up). All participants
performed the four randomized conditions with recovery within 72 h. A significant decrease (p < 0.05)
in HGS for the dominant and non-dominant hands was observed when comparing SSC vs. CC. In
contrast, comparing the warm-up conditions according to the baseline nutritional status, statistically
significant differences (p < 0.05) were only reported in the obese group in the dominant and non dominant hand in favor of CC concerning SSC. In conclusion, warm-up with static flexibility led to
a decrease in HGS in physically inactive older females. Only the obese group exhibited this result
when analyzed by nutritional status.
