Abstract

Warm up is an irreplaceable part of sport training. Traditional pre-competition warm-up is fulfilled automatically and therefore do not activate the brain in the way that is needed for excellent performance especially in sprint or first minutes of team sports game. There is no objective assessment of the warming up effectiveness and current state of the athlete. The aim of the study was twofold: to substantiate pre-competition brain warm-up using modern light sport training systems and suggest the method of objective assessment of warm-up efficiency in sport. The innovative Co-Reaction sports system, including the BlazepodTM Trainer with 6 sensors, the BlazepodTM software installed on a smartphone or tablet with Co-Reaction add-ons, and the Co-Reaction Desk, can provide rapid neuromuscular activation to athletes before competition. The results of Co-Reaction (visual-motor two-colour reaction time) allow to assess a current state of an athlete during the pre-competition warm-up. Comparison of the current result with the average earlies ones will give feedback on the athlete readiness/unreadiness and sufficiency/insufficiency of the warm-up. The article presents average data of Co-Reaction time and athletes' norms for different sport and Co-reaction results ages features of ice-hockey players.
