“…These results were not as hypothesized and are in partial agreement with some previous literature [2,8,13,23]. The most likely explanation for the results found within the present study is that the warm-up and/or baseline measurements were enough to elicit a PAP response, as previously found by Cuenca-Fernández et al [7].…”

“…Dabbs et al [8] reported increases in vertical jump performance, but at individual rest intervals. Also, Cuenca-Fernández et al [7] found that the warm-up protocol and baseline measurement were enough to elicit potentiation. These equivocal results related to PAP as a performance enhancing strategy could be due to a wide range of study designs utilized such as outcome measures, type of muscular contraction, exercise selection, intensity, subject characteristics (sex, strength, age, etc.…”

Aim The concept of post-activation potentiation (PAP) is still novel from a training perspective and lacks breadth relative to weightlifting exercises. Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a conditioning activity (clean high pulls) on the performance of a main activity (clean) after the conditioning activity. Methods Eleven volunteers who engaged in weightlifting (Male = 5, Female = 6) participated in two different testing sessions (experimental vs. control). Baseline measurements were taken following the warm-up. The testing condition was performed and additional measurements were taken at 30 s, 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min, 10 min, and 12 min into recovery. A linear position transducer was used to collect peak power, peak velocity, and displacement of the barbell during the clean. Multiple 2 × 8 repeated measures ANOVAs were used to analyze the data along with a paired samples t test between baseline and "best" values. Results There was no interaction or main effect for condition (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant main effect for time (P < 0.05) for all variables. The "best" values were significantly (P < 0.05) greater than baseline values (peak power: experimental = 1354.76 ± 521.24 W vs. baseline 1216.03 ± 492.30 W; peak velocity: experimental = 2.66 ± 0.44 m/s vs. baseline 2.50 ± 0.44 m/s; displacement: experimental = 111.07 ± 12.09 cm vs. baseline 107.01 ± 11.32 cm). Conclusions The findings of this study are in partial agreement with previous literature where the warm-up was probably enough to elicit PAP. Therefore, recommendations for future studies could include utilizing a more elite population and to ensure all potential participants can squat at least 2 × their body weight.

“…suggested that "postactivation performance enhancement" be used when referring to the enhancement observed following voluntary contractions (Blazevich & Babault, 2019;Cuenca-Fernández et al, 2017). Therefore, this terminology will be used throughout when discussing voluntary contractions.…”

A proposed method for enhancing muscle strength is the utilization of postactivation potentiation. Postactivation potentiation is the phenomenon by which muscle force is increased following a conditioning activity/contraction (Burke, Rudomin, & Zajac, 1976; Young, Jenner, & Griffiths, 1998). This form of activity-dependent potentiation phenomenon is cited throughout the literature as staircase treppe, post-tetanic potentiation, postactivation potentiation and/or postactivation performance enhancement (Blazevich &

“…The inclusion of conditioning exercises in a warm-up, i.e., high-intensity exercises, is widely thought to potentiate performance [6,7]. "Post-activation performance enhancement" (PAPE) is a new term introduced by Cuenca-Fernández et al [8] and describes such effects. In contrast to the classic post-activation potentiation, i.e., an increase in twitch force and power after electrically or voluntarily induced intense contraction [9,10], PAPE has a longer and weaker effect on performance, and is more likely attributed to different mechanisms [11]; the former is attributed to the phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light-chain and the latter to changes in muscle temperature, muscle/cellular water content and/or muscle activation [11].…”

The aim of this study was to examine the acute effect of backward running (BwR) during warm-up on a 20-m sprint of boys’ performance, compared to forward running (FwR). Fourteen recreationally active preadolescent boys (aged 12.5 ± 0.5 years) were examined in 3 protocols: warm-up (control condition), warm-up with 3 × 10 m additional BwR sprints and warm-up with 3 × 10 m additional FwR sprints. Participants were evaluated 4 minutes after each protocol on a 20-m sprint and intermediate distances, as well as the rate of perceived exertion (RPE). Sprint speed across 10-20 m was significantly higher for the BwR warm-up compared to the regular warm-up (p < 0.05) and a significantly higher RPE after the BwR and FwR protocols compared to the control condition was recorded (p < 0.05). No significant difference was detected across the distances 0–5, 5–10, 0–10 and 0–20 m. Although adding 3 × 10-m sprints of BwR or FwR after the warm-up did not enhance performance in a 20 m sprint of preadolescent boys, the positive effect of BwR across 10–20 m distance suggests that BwR could be an alternative means for enhancing performance for certain phases of a sprint for this age. However, preadolescent boys’ response to different sprint conditioning exercise stimuli and the optimization of rest time to maximize performance remain to be determined.
