摘要

Purpose

We aimed to analyze and synthesize the evidence on resistance training warm-up and/or re-warm-up strategies and their effects on subsequent dynamic strength performance in strength-trained males.

Methods

We searched three electronic databases for original articles from inception to March 2025, with updates in November 2025. We included studies comparing the acute effects of various warm-up and/or re-warm-up strategies on dynamic strength performance, reporting outcome measures such as one-repetition maximum (1RM), barbell lifting velocity, power, total repetitions, or volume load.

Results

Nineteen studies focused on how resistance training warm-ups affect subsequent dynamic strength performance, while one study analyzed the effects of resistance training re-warm-ups on strength performance. The main findings show that (i) resistance training warm-ups increase 1RM loads in leg press and squat, (ii) using low relative loads in warm-ups lifted at maximal intended velocities optimizes peak power at 40% 1RM in the bench press, (iii) progressive-intensity warm-ups increase lifting velocity at 80% 1RM bench press and squat, (iv) warming up with loads ranging from 45% to 90% 1RM increases the number of total repetitions completed at 70%–75% 1RM in several strength exercises, and (v) a re-warm-up improves squat mechanical performance.

Conclusions

This review highlights the benefits of resistance training warm-ups on increasing 1RM load in lower-body exercises, peak power at light loads, propulsive velocity at heavy loads, and total repetitions at moderate loads. Nevertheless, a notable gap in research exists regarding re-warm-up strategies and their impact on strength performance, highlighting the need for further investigation.
