Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a well-described phenomenon with a short half-life (~
28 s) that enhances muscle force production at submaximal levels of calcium saturation (ie …

Post-activation potentiation is a physiological phenomenon reported to increase muscle
performance during high-intensity exercise. To induce post-activation potentiation, maximal …

Purpose: To examine the relationships between the isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), isometric
squat (ISqT), and sprint acceleration performance in track-and-field sprinters and to …

There are resistance training methods that result in strength, others that enhance
hypertrophy and others that stimulate power. The training modality of contrast provides all of …

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of a conditioning activity (CA)
