Post-activation potentiation versus post-activation performance enhancement in humans: historical perspective, underlying mechanisms, and current issues
AJ Blazevich, N Babault - Frontiers in physiology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
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 …

The contemporary model of vertebral column joint dysfunction and impact of high-velocity, low-amplitude controlled vertebral thrusts on neuromuscular function
Purpose There is growing evidence that vertebral column function and dysfunction play a
vital role in neuromuscular control. This invited review summarises the evidence about how …

Normalization of EMG signals: to normalize or not to normalize and what to normalize to
Electromyography (EMG) has been around since the 1600s [1]. It is a tool used to measure
the action potentials of motor units in muscles [2]. The EMG electrodes are like little …
