“…Relevant studies have shown differences between these running phases in the biomechanical and neuromuscular properties (Delecluse, 1997;Mero et al, 1992). Furthermore, according to previous studies three repetitions at 90% of 1 RM showed post-activation potentiation effect at 0-40 m but not at 0-10 m sprint (McBride et al, 2005), while 10 high resistance repetitions at the same intensity showed improvements 5 minutes after the sets on both 0-10 and 0-30 m distances (Chatzopoulos et al, 2007). This suggests that possibly a higher volume of work is required in order for post-activation potentiation to appear during the acceleration phase.…”

“…Therefore it seems that either fatigue might have counteracted the post-activation potentiation effect (Rassier, 2000), or the selected participants could not develop in general the post-activation potentiation effect. This assumption could be further supported by the fact that sprint post5 , which was performed after a longer recovery interval, remained unaltered while in other cases after a similar interval an enhancement in the performance is observed both in running (Chatzopoulos et al, 2007;McBride et al, 2005) and jumping (Mitchell & Sale, 2011). Regarding the post-activation potentiation effect on sprints performed between the sets (sprint 1-4 ), limited relevant information exists from previous studies.…”

“…However, no post-activation potentiation effect was observed when the preceded stimulus was a task involving a stretch-shortening cycle, such as the countermovement jump (Lloyd & Deutsch, 2008;Mitchell & Sale, 2011). Relevant studies have shown an enhancement in jumping (Mitchell & Sale, 2011) and running performance due to post-activation potentiation after resistance sets (Chatzopoulos et al, 2007;McBride, Nimphius, & Erickson, 2005), although there are some studies which reported no such effect on jumping performance (Chiu et al, 2003). Based on the principle of post-activation potentiation effect, specific resistance training methods have been designed, the so-called "combined resistance training" (Verkhoshansky & Tatyan, 1973), which combines resistance training sets and explosive movements in the same training session.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a 10-week combined resistance/sprint training programme in the post-activation potentiation of sprint performance before, between and after resistance training sets. Twenty-six junior basketball players were randomly divided into a control and a combined training group. The combined training group performed a combined training programme consisting of 5 sets at 5-8 RM (Repetition Maximum) half-squats with sprints performed between each set. Post-activation potentiation was considered as the increase in sprint velocity in trials executed between and after the resistance sets compared with the sprint trial performed before the resistance sets of the respective first and last training session. For sprint evaluation the running distances 0-10 and 0-30 m were selected. The intervention increased both strength and sprint performance. No post-activation potentiation effect was observed during the first training session in either group. Post-activation potentiation appeared in the combined training group during the last training session of the intervention in both 0-10 and 0-30 m sprint. This study illustrates that post-activation potentiation effect on sprint performance in junior basketball players, who did not previously follow systematic resistance training, emerges after a 10-week resistance/sprint combined training programme.

“…A large amount of research has been performed to determine the optimal window of time necessary between the 2 portions of a SPPC (2,(4)(5)(6)(7)(10)(11)(12)(13)26,39). Collectively, these studies suggest that the duration of recovery between the potentiation inducing activity and the high-power or velocity activity is dictated by the amount of fatigue that is generated.…”

The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the effects of a strength-power potentiation complex that involved performing a horizontal plyometric activity 5 minutes after the completion of an ascending back squat protocol. Twelve men who could back squat a minimum of 1.5 time body mass participated in a familiarization session and 2 randomly assigned testing sessions each separated by approximately 1 week. In the control session, the subject rested for 5 minutes and then performed the horizontal plyometric tests. In the potentiation session (POT), the subjects performed an ascending back squat protocol that consisted of 5 repetitions at 30% of 1 repetition maximum (1RM), 3 repetitions at 70% 1RM, and 3 repetitions at 90% 1RM. Five minutes after completing the ascending back squat protocol, the subjects undertook the horizontal plyometric test, which consisted of jumping over 5 hurdles that were separated by 45.7 cm and were set to a height of 65.2 +/- 4.0 cm. An accelerometer was used to assess peak power output (PP), velocity (PV), and force (PF) across the 5 jumps. The average PF generated across the 5 hurdles was significantly higher in the POT session (p = 0.01, d = 0.45). In addition, the maximum PP output (p = 0.05, d = 1.12) and PF (p = 0.004, d = 0.61) were higher in the POT trials. Individuals who were able to back squat approximately 2.0 +/- 0.1 times body mass exhibited a greater percent potentiation for average PP output (p = 0.001, eta = 0.68) and average PV (p = 0.02, eta = 0.61). The present data suggest only very strong individuals (back squat > or = 2.0 x body mass) exhibit a potentiation effect in a horizontal plyometric activity after performing an ascending back squat protocol.

“…This exercise elicits post-activation potentiation which increases force and power production in excess of what can be achieved without the use of heavy resistance exercise (Bevan et al, 2010;Khamoui et al, 2009;Needham, Morse, & Degens, 2009;Robins, 2005;Till & Cooke, 2009;Weber, Brown, Coburn, & Zinder, 2008;Yetter & Moir, 2008). When utilising this potentiation, time taken to complete a 30 m sprint has been shown to decrease (Bevan et al, 2010;Chatzopolous et al, 2007;Linder et al, 2010). Heavy resistance exercise has also been shown to be effective for adult handball players during repeated sprint tests, suggesting its applicability to team sports (Okuno et al, 2013).…”

This investigation assessed whether prior heavy resistance exercise would improve the repeated sprint performance of 16 trained youth soccer players (Age 17.05 ± 0.65 years; height 182.6 ± 8.9 cm; body mass 77.8 ± 8.2 kg). In session 1, individual 1 repetition max was measured utilising a squat movement. In sessions 2 and 3, participants performed a running-based repeated anaerobic sprint test with and without prior heavy resistance exercise of 91% of their 1 repetition max. Times were recorded for each of the 6 sprints performed in the repeated sprint test and summed to provide total time. T-tests compared the two exercise conditions via differences in corresponding sprint times and total time. Analysis revealed significantly reduced total time with use of heavy resistance exercise (33.48 (±1.27) vs. 33.59 (±1.27); P = 0.01). Sprints 1 (P = 0.05) and 2 (P = 0.02) were also faster in the heavy resistance exercise condition (5.09 (±0.16) vs. 5.11 (±0.16) and 5.36 (±0.24) vs. 5.45 (±0.26) seconds respectively) although no other differences were shown. Findings demonstrate improved sprint times of trained adolescent soccer players after heavy resistance exercise although benefits appear not as sustained as in adult participants.
