“…The findings of the current study are in line with the recent evidence reporting improved horizontal and vertical jump performances following PAP protocols implementing EOL exercises. 1,16 These potentiating effects may arise from mechanical advantages and neuromuscular mechanisms associated with the execution of EOL exercises as potentiating activities prior to an athletic task. Eccentric overload is achieved due to the increased inertial load of the flywheel mechanism, which demands higher mechanical force and power production during the exercise.…”

“…Participants did three familiarization sessions to become acquainted with the EOL exercise procedures. 14,16 They attended the laboratory on 4 further sessions. 14 During the first session, baseline CMJ and LJ performances were assessed and used as control measures (no PAP stimulus) to compare the effects of the three experimental protocols.…”

“…Moreover, flywheel devices have the advantage of being easily transportable compared to traditional weightlifting devices, supporting their utilization in an applied context. While EOL has been extensively studied as a training strategy, 1,12,13,15,16 the topic remains relatively unexplored as an approach to stimulate PAP effects. In particular, the modalities necessary to optimally elicit a PAP response, via manipulation of intensity (inertia) and volume (number of sets), affecting the fatigue-potentiation relationship and the consequent time-course of the PAP effects, are still unknown.…”

“…4,9 Conditioning exercise volume may have an important impact on both the onset and magnitude of PAP effects, which are crucial for practitioners attempting to optimize jump, 1,13 sprint, 5,9,15 and change of direction performance. 16,17 The effects of different volumes on PAP effects have been marginal and only investigated with regard to traditional PAP protocols. 7,8 High volumes of traditional resistance exercise methods may cause excessive fatigue, either requiring a longer time window for PAP or possibly nullifying it.…”

Purpose: To investigate the postactivation potentiation (PAP) effects of different eccentric overload (EOL) exercise volumes on countermovement-jump (CMJ) and standing-long-jump (LJ) performance. Methods: In total, 13 male university soccer players participated in a crossover design study following a familiarization period. Control (no PAP) CMJ and LJ performances were recorded, and 3 experimental protocols were performed in a randomized order: 1, 2, or 3 sets of 6 repetitions of flywheel EOL half-squats (inertia = 0.029 kg·m2). Performance of CMJ and LJ was measured 3 and 6 minutes after all experimental conditions. The time course and magnitude of the PAP were compared between conditions. Results: Meaningful positive PAP effects were reported for CMJ after 2 (Bayes factor [BF10] = 3.15, moderate) and 3 (BF10 = 3.25, moderate) sets but not after 1 set (BF10 = 2.10, anecdotal). Meaningful positive PAP effects were reported for LJ after 2 (BF10 = 3.05, moderate) and 3 (BF10 = 3.44, moderate) sets but not after 1 set (BF10 = 0.53, anecdotal). The 2- and 3-set protocols resulted in meaningful positive PAP effects on both CMJ and LJ after 6 minutes but not after 3 minutes. Conclusion: This study reported beneficial effects of multiset EOL exercise over a single set. A minimum of 2 sets of flywheel EOL half-squats are required to induce PAP effects on CMJ and LJ performance of male university soccer players. Rest intervals of around 6 minutes (>3 min) are required to maximize the PAP effects via multiple sets of EOL exercise. However, further research is needed to clarify the optimal EOL protocol configurations for PAP response.

Background Eccentric resistance training is recognised as an effective stimulus for enhancing measures of muscular strength and power in adult populations; however, its value in youth athletes is currently not well understood. Objective The aim of this systematic review was to critically appraise the effects of eccentric resistance training on measures of physical performance (i.e. muscular strength, jump, sprint and change of direction) in youth athletes 18 years of age and under. Methods Original journal articles published between 1950 and June 2022 were retrieved from electronic search engines of PubMed, SPORTDiscus and Google Scholar’s advanced search option. Full journal articles investigating the acute and chronic effects of eccentric resistance training on measures of physical performance in youth athletes (i.e. a person 18 years of age or under who competes in sport) were included. The methodological quality and bias of each study were assessed prior to data extraction using a modified Downs and Black checklist. Results The search yielded 749 studies, of which 436 were duplicates. Three-hundred studies were excluded based upon title and abstract review and a further 5 studies were removed following the modified Downs and Black checklist. An additional 14 studies were identified during backward screening. Accordingly, 22 studies were included in our systematic review. The Nordic hamstring exercise and flywheel inertial training were the most frequently used eccentric resistance training methods in youth athletes. Improvements in physical performance following the Nordic hamstring exercise are dependent upon an increase in the breakpoint angle, rather than training volume (sets and repetitions), and are further elevated with the addition of hip extension exercises or high-speed running. A minimum of 3 familiarisation trials is necessary to elicit meaningful adaptations following flywheel inertial training. Furthermore, an emphasis should be placed upon decelerating the rotating flywheel during the final one to two thirds of the eccentric phase, rather than gradually throughout the entire eccentric phase. Conclusions The findings of this systematic review support the inclusion of eccentric resistance training in youth athletes to improve measures of muscular strength, jump, sprint and change of direction performance. The current eccentric resistance training methods are predominantly limited to the Nordic hamstring exercise and flywheel inertial training; however, the efficacy of accentuated eccentric loading to improve jump performance warrants attention in future investigations.
