The objective of this study was to examine and compare the immediate effects of dynamic and static stretching warm-up routines on physical fitness parameters, specifically joint flexibility and explosive lower-limb power as measured by the standing broad jump. A randomized within-subject design was employed to assess these fitness outcomes following distinct warm-up protocols. Flexibility was evaluated using the sit-and-reach test (SR), and explosive leg power was assessed via the standing broad jump (SBJ). A total of 45 college students, ranging in age from 18 to 27 years (mean age = 21.8 ± 2.1 years), were recruited from the Department of Physical Education and Sports at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA at a significance threshold of p < 0.05 to identify whether meaningful differences existed between groups. The findings revealed statistically significant differences in both flexibility and standing broad jump performance between the experimental groups and the untreated control group.
