In this review, we will present and critically discuss how different conditioning exercises can
be implemented in training, testing, and competition for the enhancement of performances in …

This review article discusses previous postactivation potentiation (PAP) literature and
provides a deterministic model for vertical jump (ie, squat jump, countermovement jump, and …

The purpose of this study was to verify if a conditioning activity was effective to elicit
postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) and to increase the performance in …

This study compared the effects of short-duration ischemic preconditioning, a single-set high-
resistance exercise and their combination on subsequent bench press performance. Twelve …

Physical performance fatigue can be ascribed to both peripheral and central components.
Central fatigue, however, is an elusive entity, consisting of cognitive/sensory component and …

Studies examining acute, high‐speed movement performance enhancement following
intense muscular contractions (frequently called “post‐activation potentiation”; PAP) often …

Background Post-activation potentiation (PAP) describes the enhancement of twitch torque
following a conditioning contraction (CC) in skeletal muscle. In adults, PAP may be related to …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects. A total of eleven 8-to 11-yr-old healthy boys (Tanner
stages 1–2) and twelve 18-to 30-yr-old healthy men were recruited. All the subjects were …

This study aimed to narrow down the possible mechanisms of Post-Activation Performance
Enhancement (PAPE), especially if they are exclusively found in the muscle. It was therefore …

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 …
