Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) is a widely described phenomenon, but
the majority of studies tend to evaluate the response of various parameters of a conditioning …

The combination of strength training with complementary whole-body electromyostimulation
(WB-EMS) and plyometric exercises has been shown to increase strength and jumping …

Objective: Inactivity results in a marked loss of muscle function, especially in movements
requiring high power, force, and rate of force development. The aim of the present study was …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of stretch-shortening-cycle-
induced muscle damage on the time course of mechanical behaviour in the drop jump. Ten …

Introduction. The stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) ability of a muscle is responsible for
sprinting and changing direction during sports activity. Sprinting involves more fast SSC …

Abstract Johnson, M, Baudin, P, Ley, AL, and Collins, DF. A warm-up routine that
incorporates a plyometric protocol potentiates the force-generating capacity of the …

Alterations of aerobic fitness and muscle deoxygenation during a ramp incremental exercise
test (GXT) were assessed on two occasions within a time-frame of 2.9±0.1 y in competitive …

This study examined the postactivation potentiation effects of combining squat and deadlift
exercises on subsequent repeated jump performance. Fifteen, resistance-trained youth …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of a conditioning activity (CA)
composed of continuous countermovement jumps on twitch torque production and 30-m …
