Purpose: To examine the effects of drop height on drop-jump (DJ) performance and on
associations between DJ and horizontal-jump/sprint performances in adolescent athletes …

BACKGROUND: This study examined the postactivation potentiation effects of overloaded
cycling on subsequent Wingate performance. METHODS: Twenty anaerobic-trained men …

Background The ability to sustain brief high-intensity intermittent efforts (HIE) is meant to be
a major attribute for performance in team sports. Adding changes of direction to HIE is …

Background: By directly recording electromyographic activity profiles and muscle-tendon
interaction, this study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms why well-trained track and field …

Background: Drop jumps (DJ) are commonly implemented in plyometric training programs in
an attempt to enhance jump performance. However, it is unknown how different drop heights …

Background The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of active (AR) vs.
passive recovery (PR) between two Wingate Anaerobic Tests (WAnT) on power output …

This study investigated the post-activation performance enhancements (PAPE) induced by a
highintensity single set of accentuated eccentric isoinertial resistance exercise on vertical …

Purpose: Countermovement jump (CMJ) and maximum running speed over a distance of 20
m were evaluated for examination of the concurrent fatigue and post-activation potentiation …

Background: Athletes, who engage in combat sports, perform often several matches in a day
during competitions. For this reason, recovery is a very important factor between matches …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immediate influence of eccentric muscle action
on vertical jump performance in athletes performing sports with a high demand of explosive …
