Post Activation Potentiation of the Plantarflexors: Implications of Knee Angle Variations. [PDF]
J Hum Kinet, 2017 Abstract Flexing the knee to isolate the single joint soleus from the biarticular gastrocnemius is a strategy for investigating individual plantarflexor’s post activation potentiation (PAP). We investigated the implications of testing plantarflexor PAP at different knee angles and provided indirect quantification of the contribution of ...

Whole body vibration and drop jumps induces post-activation performance enhancement
Human Movement, 2022 Purpose Many studies have investigated the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) exercise on post-activation potentiation. It was reported that an intervention protocol of WBV combined with 5 drop jumps (DJs) led to an increase in twitch force, suggesting

Acute whole-body vibration elicits post-activation potentiation [PDF]
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2009 Whole-body vibration (WBV) leads to a rapid increase in intra-muscular temperature and enhances muscle power. The power-enhancing effects by WBV can, at least in part, be explained by intra-muscular temperature. However, this does not exclude possible neural effects of WBV occurring at the spinal level.

Effects of post activation potentiation on electromechanical delay [PDF]
Clinical Biomechanics, 2019 Electromechanical delay (EMD) presumably depends upon both contractile and tensile factors. It has recently been used as an indirect measure of muscle tendon stiffness to study adaptations to stretching and training. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether contractile properties induced by a 6 s maximum voluntary isometric contraction ...

Baltic Journal of Sport and Health Sciences, 2018 Following an acute physical exercise, both post-activation potentiation and fatigue of the neuromuscular apparatus may occur. The voluntary recruitment of motor units occurs with frequencies that elicit incompletely fused tetanic contractions and these ...

Post-Activation Performance Enhancement (PAPE) After Resisted Sprinting in Recreationally Active Participants: A Double-Blind Randomised Crossover Trial [PDF]
International Journal of Strength and Conditioning, 2023 Sprint performance and therefore sprint training play important roles in a range of sports and numerous methods to enhance sprint performance have been proposed. One such method is resisted sprinting, whereby a predetermined load (% body mass) or a load

Post-activation Potentiation Versus Post-activation Performance Enhancement in Humans: Historical Perspective, Underlying Mechanisms, and Current Issues [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a well-described phenomenon with a short half-life (~28 s) that enhances muscle force production at submaximal levels of calcium saturation (i.e., submaximal levels of muscle activation).

Optimal Timing for Post-Activation Potentiation in Women Collegiate Volleyball Players
Sports, 2016 Post-activation potentiation (PAP) has been shown to acutely amplify muscular power output and may be advantageous for athletes looking to improve performance. PAP may have an acute window of effectiveness between 2 to 20 min.
