“…Vandervoort et al (28) found that potentiation was partially suppressed by fatigue in muscle contractions over 10 s in duration, which may explain why shorter duration plyometric exercises have previously improved performance (15). The rest duration used in our study has previously been shown to be sufficient for allowing fatigue to subside (10,25,29). However, the duration of the conditioning exercises in these studies was lower compared to the exercise duration used in the present study, indicating that the complex relationship between duration of contractions and rest interval warrants further investigation.…”

Post-activation potentiation following different modes of exercise, R-31239, Revision 1Post-activation potentiation following exercise 3 ABSTRACTThe performance characteristics of skeletal muscle are transient in nature and have been shown to be significantly affected by its contractile history, where the phenomenon of acute enhancement is termed post-activation potentiation (PAP). Acute enhancement of dynamic activity has been observed when preceded by resistance exercises, however little information exists for plyometric activity as a conditioning stimulus. In addition, no study has examined PAP effects on more than one subsequent performance trial. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether countermovement jump (CMJ) performance could be enhanced if preceded by heavy resistance exercise or by dynamic plyometric activity over three trials.Thirteen anaerobically trained male subjects (mean ± SD: age, 22 ± 3 years; height, 182.4 ± 4.3 cm; body mass, 82.7 ± 9.2 kg) performed in a counterbalanced order 3 half squats using a 3 repetition maximum loading (SQUAT), a set of 24 contacts of lower body plyometric exercises (PLYO), or a control of no activity (REST) 5 min prior to each CMJ. Three sets of each treatment and CMJ were performed in total and maximal displacement (dmax), peak power (Ppeak) and peak vertical force (Fpeak) were recorded, while rate of force development (RFD) and relative force (F / body mass) were calculated for every trial. No significant differences were revealed for any of the other variables, but greater displacement was found for SQUAT compared to REST or PLYO, while no differences were revealed for any of the conditions for the repeated trials. Although heavy resistance-induced PAP seems to enhance jump height compared to REST or PLYO in repeated CMJ performance, it has no additional benef...

“…However, it can also enhance subsequent force generation and improve strength and power performance (3,8,11,16,21,23), a phenomenon termed post-activation potentiation (PAP). PAP has been attributed to three possible mechanisms; regulatory light chains phosphorylation, increased recruitment of motor units, and muscle fibre pennation angle change (for review see 22).…”

“…Untrained subjects demonstrated that between sets, jump height occasionally increased and then decreased (Smilios, Pilianidis, Sotiropoulos, Antonakis, & Tokmakidis, 2005), while sprint time was not affected (Tsimahidis et al, 2010). In trained athletes, however, sprint performance between sets increased, underlying the importance of training background (Tsimachidis, Patikas, Galazoulas, Bassa, & Kotzamanidis, 2013).…”

Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a mechanism that has gained interest in research during the past years. This is due to the fact that several studies use this physiological mechanism as a tool to improve athletic performance. This review will describe the basic principles of PAP and how exercise can influence the existence and magnitude of PAP. As definition, PAP is the phenomenon of increased force or twitch output that occurs after a high-intensity voluntary or evoked contraction. Although PAP is assumed to occur within the muscle due to the increased phosphorylation of the myosin light chains, several other factors can influence its appearance. The fact that fatigue counteracts the level of PAP, muscular as well as neural properties of the neuromuscular system contribute to the final outcome, despite the fact that PAP is mainly a mechanism that is attributed to changes in muscular level. During the past 5 years, our research group has examined in depth central and peripheral mechanisms that influence performance under the co-existence of PAP and fatigue. Numerous techniques combining the application of electromyography, electrical stimulation and force recording are briefly presented and discussed with emphasis on the practical aspect of interpretation on athletic performance. Using such techniques, some of the recent findings of our research group are presented, giving an insight in the PAP effect immediately after a contraction or after series of contractions and the effectiveness of long-term combined training programs.
