DW, Dynamic Warm-up; VR, Vibrating Rollers; CW, Climbing Warm-up. EF = Elbow Flexors, FF = Finger Flexors, SE = Shoulder Extensors, SER = Shoulder External Rotators. Data were represented as mean (SD).
* Indicated a significant difference in the time factor, except FF.
# Indicated a significant interaction effect in shoulder SER.
a Significant difference (p < 0.05) compared with DW.
