Investigation of Post-activation Potentiation Phenomenon οn Sprinting Performance Following Power Pre-conditioning Exercise
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PAP exercise with 0% body mass, PAP exercise with 20% body mass, and 1 other intervention for Sprint Performance. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Scientific data regarding the post-activation potentiation (PAP) phenomenon on sprinting performance is scarce, especially regarding the effect of performing pre-conditioning power exercises on subsequent sprinting performance. Additionally, there is no data regarding the rate of fatigue onset when power pre-conditioning exercise before sprints are performed repeatedly at the same training session. This research will provide important information to coaches and athletes for the design of an optimum training program for the maximization of the athletes' performance and the avoidance of injuries.
