Warmup period is the smallest unit component in the training unit and is fundamental for each athlete or individual before any athletic event, competition or test. It is noted that many researchers, as well as coaches pay no attention to warmup when performing tests in their studies or training sessions and competitions leaving such period for testes without any set period or referring to pulse specially in tests that are characterized by maximum intensity like transitional speed, maximum forces and force characterized by speed and elegance.This study mainly deals with the importance of warmup period on the level of performance and speed of recovery for the individual under test after performing maximum intensity tests in addition to level of pulse that the individual reaches after effort and recovery period. The study aims are revealing: Effect of three warmup periods on level of performance in maximum intensity test. Effect of three warmup periods on speed of recovery in maximum intensity test with reference to pulse. The researcher hypothesizes the following: There are significant differences in level of performance regarding maximum intensity test after three different warmup periods. There are significant differences in level of pulse after effort directly regarding maximum intensity test after three different warm up periods. There are significant differences in level of pulse in recovery period after maximum intensity test after three different warm up periods. The researcher used the experimental approach for its suitability. The study sample consists of (8) third year students/ Department of Physical Education/College of Basic Education for the academic year 2005 2006. Chosen intentionally (performing athletic activities) out of (45) representing the study community. The researcher performed maximum intensity test 50m running transitional speed. The test was done with short warmup (10,20,30 minutes) with two days break recording level of performance , pulse rate directly after effort , and speed of recovery was recorded after the second, and fifth minutes. Data were statistically analyzed using mean, standard deviation and variance analysis. The study results are as following: 1. There are significant differences in level of performance in maximum intensity test after warm up(20-30 minutes) for the sample .. 2. There are statistically significant differences in level of pulse after effort directly in maximum intensity test after warm up 3. There are statistically significant differences in pulse rate level of recovery in maximum intensity test after warm up.
