Effects of Concurrent Activation Potentiation on Countermovement Jump Performance [PDF]
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2015 The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of concurrent activation potentiation (CAP) on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. Twenty-four resistance-trained males (mean ± SD; age: 25 ± 4 years, body mass: 78.7 ± 10.3 kg) performed a CMJ on a force plate under 4 different conditions: (a) a control condition where the CMJ was performed with ...
