Book excerpt: ABSTRACT:The purpose of the present study was to examine the acute effects of traditional and cluster training on post¬ activation potentiation during countermovement vertical displacement. Division III male volleyball players completed two initial testing sessions to identify the maximum countermovement vertical jump (CMVJ), as well as the predicted 1 repetition maximum (1RM) on the hang power clean(HPC) and front squat (FS) exercises. Additionally, the predicted 1RM values were utilized to identify the optimal load for Peak Power in the respective exercises. The four testing days occurred in a randomized-crossover fashion with the participants performing four different exercise configurations comprised of HPC Traditional 4 sets of 3 repetitions with CMVJ recorded after each set, HPC Cluster 4sets of 3 repetitions with 12 s rest between repetitions and CMVJ recorded after each set, and the same occurred for each configuration utilizing the FS exercise. There were no significant mean differences in CMVJ between the 5 testing conditions. Effect sizes were computed comparing CMVJ for each training configuration with the baseline CMVJ. Cohen's d effect sizes for each training configuration compared to baseline were: TR-HPC = moderate effect, CL-HPC = moderate effect, TR-FS low effect and CL-FS = low

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine an optimal intensity (percent of five-repetition maximum weight) to perform an activation exercise, to elicit the most effective response of postactivation potentiation (PAP) through the completion of an explosive exercise. A window of opportunity exists after completing a potentiating exercise that, due to a high level of activation and the dissipation of fatigue, should acutely elicit power gains. Fifteen division 1 varsity soccer players (11 female and 4 male) with mean height 169.93 ± 10.95, mean body weight 144.93 ± 27.03lbs, and mean ages of 19.3 ± 0.72 years, completed 2 sessions during the testing protocol; using the first for acquiring baseline data, and the second for experimental testing. Sessions were separated by seven days. During the first session, athletes were assessed for baseline vertical jump heights, and 5 RM back squat. During the second session, subjects performed 5 repetitions at 80%, 90%, and 100% of their 5 RM for 5 repetitions, each followed by a countermovement vertical jump 7.5 minutes thereafter. Results were obtained using the SPSS data processing software and were analyzed through a three way repeated measures ANOVA. The main effect for height was significant (p 0.01) based on within subjects effects. Significant results were found using pairwise comparisons between baseline and 80%, 90%, and 100% PAP protocols (p

This book was released on 2016 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of two different squat protocols on post-activation potentiation and VJ. Fifteen resistance trained men were tested on three different occasions, the first which was used to assess 3-RM front squat using the APRE protocol and extrapolating a 1-RM during the last set. The subject then scheduled two testing days which were separated by one week. The first squat protocol was a single repetition of a six second supra maximal eccentric-only front squat to parallel at 110% of 1-RM. The second squat protocol was three full repetitions to parallel at a load equivalent to 3-RM. The warm-up was kept the same for both days of protocol testing, with the establishment of baseline VJ height occurring after the warm-up and before the squat stimulus. VJ height was re-assessed immediately, 2, 4, 6, and 8 min post squat stimulus. VJ scores were not significantly different between the two protocols at baseline, however at each time interval post-stimulus(immediately, 2min, 4min, 6min, and 8min) the supra maximal protocol was shown to elicit a significant (p

This book was released on 2018 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compared the effects of two conditioning exercise types on subsequent countermovement jump performance. Fifteen male collegiate rugby players (age 21.1 ± 2.3) completed two experimental protocols in a randomized order. The first protocol consisted of 3 sets of a 5 second maximal isometric half squat (ISO), with 1 minute rest intervals between sets. The second protocol consisted of 2 sets of 5 depth jumps (DJ) at a platform height which was determined by the athletes' reactive strength index (RSI). These methods were each adapted from prior literature where post-activation potentiation (PAP) was achieved, in order to determine the relative timing and amplitude of the effect using a repeated measures design. Results of a two-way ANOVA for CMJ height reveal a significant main effect of time ((F[5,60] = 8.291, p

Stobbie and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of the investigation was to examine the effects of postactivation potentiation (PAP) elicited from a power clean versus a squat clean on performance measures such as the countermovement vertical jump and 40 meter sprint. College-aged males (N = 9) completed all baseline measurements and testing protocols. Each subject completed a baseline testing session comprised of a lRM power clean, countermovement vertical jump, and 40 meter sprint. Subjects then participated in four additional PAP testing sessions, each separated by one week. Two one-way repeated measures ANOVAs were computed to determine if significant changes occurred between baseline, post-power clean protocol, and post-squat clean protocol measurements. No significant (p ~.058) mean difference was found in vertical jump scores for the college-aged males across the baseline, pre and post measurements. No significant (p >.355) mean difference was found in 40 meter sprint scores across the three protocols for the college-aged males.

Download or read book Effects of an Upper Body Conditioning Stimulus on Lower Body Post activation Potentiation written by Grant Laskin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One strategy to improve strength and power development in athletes is by implementing complex training, where both high-load and plyometric movements are alternated one after the other throughout a workout. Research suggests that when a high-load, low-velocity conditioning stimulus (CS) is performed just prior to a biomechanically similar plyometric movement, the performance of the plyometric movement is acutely enhanced in a phenomenon called post-activation potentiation (PAP). Despite the positive influence PAP can have on power production, research has only investigated the existence of PAP when comparing biomechanically similar movements. PURPOSE: To determine if an upper body CS can elicit a PAP response in a lower body plyometric exercise and to investigate the optimal time course for PAP between an upper body CS and lower body plyometric exercise. METHODS: Eight (8) resistance-trained males (23.5 ± 2.7 y; 177.5 ± 3.2 cm; 81.7 ± 5.8 kg) participated in the study. Participants performed one set of three countermovement jumps (CMJs) before (pre-CS) and three sets of three CMJs after (post-CS) an upper body CS. Muscle activation in the vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius, and gluteus maximus were compared between pre-CS and the three post-CS conditions using surface electromyography. Changes in jump height, work, power output, and rate of force development (RFD) during the early and late stages of the CMJ take-off between the conditions were analyzed using a force plate. A repeated-measures MANOVA with LSD post-hoc testing was used to determine differences using SPSS. The level of significance was set at p

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of an eccentric trap bar deadlift on post-activation potentiation and VJ height. Twenty resistance-trained males ages 18-30 were tested on two different occasions. The first session was used to assess the subject's 3-RM on the trap bar deadlift. The subject then scheduled a second session one week later. The second session consisted of a baseline VJ assessment followed by a 3-RM trap bar deadlift protocol with a VJ test immediately after, 2, 4, and 6 minutes post-exercise. The warm-up was kept the same for both days of protocol testing, with the baseline VJ height occurring after the warm-up and before the trap bar deadlift protocol. Results showed significant differences between VJ heights immediately after and at the 2-minute interval (mean difference = 1.15 in., p = .004, 95% CI [0.30, 2.00] and between the immediately after and the 4-minute interval (mean difference = 1.02 in., p = .015, 95% CI [0.14, 1.90]).
