Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PURPOSE: A technique used to enhance acute performance that involves a short, high intensity stimulus followed by a dynamic or isometric movement is referred to as post-activation potentiation (PAP). The acute performances increases have been attributed to both physiological and neurological factors. To date, research on this technique has not investigated the muscular activity during a dynamic vertical jump test of the upper leg muscles. The purpose of this study was to determine how using the PAP technique effects the direct force output of different types of vertical jumps as well as measuring differences with rate of force development curves from baseline outputs.

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.

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

Download or read book The Effects of Postactivation Potentiation on Subsequent 40 yard Sprint Performance in 16 to 23 year old Male Athletes written by Cody James Yates and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postactivation potentiation (PAP) is a physiological adaptation which enables the muscles' contractile properties to optimally perform. PAP is engendered through pre-performance conditioning activities (maximal or submaximal effort), such as a parallel back squat performed prior to a vertical jump test. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of postactivation potentiation on subsequent 40-yard sprint performance in 16- to 23-year-old male athletes. Specifically, the effects of hexagonal bar deadlifts (HBD) and weighted sled sprints (WSS) as PAP-loading protocols. METHODS: Thirty-one male subjects (age, 16.9 +/- 1.4 years; height, 180.2 +/- 6.2 cm; weight 83.4 +/- 19.2 kg) participated in this study. Testing sessions include two different visits, a control trial and a PAP-loading protocol trial, separated by ~48-hours, and counterbalanced, allowing each subject to act as their own control. The HBD (n = 8) group performed 4 sets of HBD as the PAP-loading protocol, using body weight (BW) to calculate estimated 1 repetition max (1RM). The WSS (n = 23) group performed 4 sets of WSS for 15-yards, using WSS loads of 25%, 50%, and 50% BW. Both PAP-loading protocols were followed by a 6-minute rest period, and concluded with two laser-timed 40-yard sprint performances. Control trials for both groups consisted of identical time intervals as the PAP trial, with basic active movement utilized instead of the PAP-loading protocol. RESULTS: The PAP trials had faster average 40-yard sprint times (5.35 +/- 0.44 s) compared to the control trials (5.39 +/- 0.39 s) for all subjects. The average difference for the PAP trials (-0.04 +/- 0.10) was statistically significant (p = 0.029). However, there was statistical significance (p = 0.035) between PAP-loading groups, with WSS being the only group to improve in sprint time for the PAP trial. The WSS group improved in 40-yard sprint time for the PAP trial (5.33 +/- 0.45 s) compared to the control trial (5.40 +/- 0.41 s) with a PAP difference of -0.06 +/- 0.10 s for 40-yard sprint time. CONCLUSION: The use of a PAP-loading protocol enhances 40-yard sprint performance, with the use of WSS proving to generate faster sprint times compared to the HBD.

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]).

This book was released on 2015 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 2017 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Back squats (BSQ) have been shown to effectively potentiate lower body power in a subsequent performance activity. There is a plurality of post activation potentiation (PAP) studies in which the BSQ and vertical jump (VJ) are used. To date, there is little information regarding BSQ and horizontal jump (HJ) performance. Nine collegiate ice hockey players from the California State University, Long Beach ice hockey team volunteered for the study. Participants performed five testing sessions separated by 96 hours. The first testing session was a one repetition maximum (1RM) BSQ to assign the athletes specific intensity. The intensity chosen was 87% of the athletes’ 1RM, which means they should complete five repetitions (87%) for the potentiated testing sessions. The four testing sessions were randomized consisting of a back squat followed by horizontal jump (BSQ-HJ), back squat followed by vertical jump (BSQ-VJ), horizontal jump only (CT-HJ) and vertical jump only (CT-VJ). During the potentiated conditions participants had a rest interval of 5 minutes between the BSQ and VJ or HJ. Alpha-level was set a priori at 0.05. The results indicate that both vertical (p = 0.017) and horizontal (p = 0.003) jump were significantly increased (VJ = +5.51cm, HJ = +11.55cm). The present study helps indicate that muscular power performance can be improved in VJ and HJ using the PAP training phenomenon in collegiate ice hockey players.
