Postactivation potentiation (PAP) mechanisms and responses have a long scientific history.
However, to this day there is still controversy regarding the mechanisms underlying …

Purpose: The optimal power load is defined as the load that maximizes power output in a
given exercise. This load can be determined through the use of various instruments, under …

Scientific interest in pacing goes back> 100 years. Contemporary interest, both as a feature
of athletic competition and as a window into understanding fatigue, goes back> 30 years …

In swimming, the beneficial effects of the in-water warm-up are often undermined by the long
transition periods before competition (≥ 20 min). For that reason, studies comparing the …

The aim of this study was to verify post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) in
jumping and sprinting after two endurance volume-equated running protocols with different …

This study aimed to compare the post-activation performance enhancement induced by
successive drop-jumps performed on hard and sand surfaces in sprint and jump …

Background The aim of the investigation was to compare the occurrence of post-activation
performance enhancement (PAPE) after drop jumps, or heavy sled towing, and the …

Drop jump is widely used in training sessions, aiming for chronic effects on long jump
performance. However, the acute effect of drop jump on long jump performance through its …

The aim of this four‐armed parallel group randomized‐controlled trial was to evaluate if
plyometric training could have different effects on running performance and physiological …

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 …
