Formation lap of the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix. A parade lap, also known as a pace lap, formation lap or warm-up lap, is a lap before a motorsport race begins, in which the drivers go around the track at a slow speed (usually between 50 and 120 km/h (30 and 75 mph)), and, in some cases, behind the safety car.
The participants in the study performed HIIT (defined as ten sets of 4-minute cycling bursts at an intensity of 90% VO2max separated by 2 minutes of rest) every other day over a 2-week period. The study found that seven sessions of HIIT over a 2-week period improved whole body fat oxidation and the capacity for skeletal muscle to oxidize fat in ...
These findings suggest that warm-up is an unimportant factor in peak power levels, but if mean power is the variable of interest it is important to standardize the warm-up. Since the Wingate test stresses the anaerobic metabolic systems glucose consumption pre-testing can be another influential factor.
In baseball, warm-up swings using a standard weight bat are effective in increasing batting speed. [7] In a 2010 meta-analysis, the authors concluded that in about four-fifths of the studies there was improvement in performance with various physical activities with warm-ups as opposed to without warm-ups.

The 2015 Rugby World Cup warm-up matches were a series of rugby union test matches that took place in August and September 2015, as the 20 competing teams prepared for the 2015 Rugby World Cup. For most teams, their preparation kicked off in August after various training camps before the squad announcement deadline date of 31 August.
Vocal warm-up demonstration from the United States Navy Band. A vocal warm-up is a series of exercises meant to prepare the voice for singing, acting, or other use. Vocal warm-ups are essential exercises for singers to enhance vocal performance and reduce the sense of effort required for singing. Research demonstrates that engaging in vocal ...
The multi-stage fitness test (MSFT), also known as the beep test, bleep test, PACER test (progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run), or the 20m shuttle run test, is a running test used to estimate an athlete's aerobic capacity (VO 2 max). The test requires participants to run 20 meters back and forth across a marked track keeping time ...
The Margaria–Kalamen test has been a standard test for determining peak power for some time, and at one time was thought to be a measure of the power of the pure alactic anaerobic system. However, it is now thought that even on such a short test, there is still a significant contribution from the lactic anaerobic system. [4]
