Postactivation Potentiation Biases Maximal Isometric Strength Assessment
Postactivation potentiation (PAP) is known to enhance force production. Maximal isometric strength assessment protocols usually consist of two or more maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVCs). The objective of this study was to determine if PAP would influence isometric strength assessment. Healthy male volunteers (n = 23) performed two five-second MVCs separated by a 180-seconds interva...
متن کاملPostactivation potentiation: role in performance.
P ostactivation potentiation (PAP), also known as activity-dependent potentiation, is an increase in muscle isometric twitch and low frequency tetanic force following a ‘‘conditioning’’ activity. 2 Examples of conditioning activity are a series of evoked isometric twitches (staircase or treppe), an evoked isometric tetanic contraction (post-tetanic potentiation), a sustained isometric maximal v...
متن کاملPostactivation potentiation in elite young soccer players
The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of 16 different combinations to cause the postactivation potentiation (PAP) in elite young soccer players. Squat exercise in 4 different intensities (40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% one-repetition maximum [1RM]) was performed and its effects were evaluated in the performance of countermovement jump (CMJ), after 4 different recovery times (1, 3,...
متن کاملAssessment of Maximal Isometric Hand Grip Strength in School-aged Children
Background Hand grip strength (HGS) test is commonly used as an indicator of overall muscle strength in medical and sport practices. Recently, several studies have proposed that the measurement of the maximal HGS depends on dynamometer's handle position. The aim of the present study was to identify the optimal handle position to obtain maximal HGS using the hand grip dynamometer (HGD) for schoo...
متن کاملTask complexity and maximal isometric strength gains through motor learning
This study compared the effects of a simple versus complex contraction pattern on the acquisition, retention, and transfer of maximal isometric strength gains and reductions in force variability. A control group (N = 12) performed simple isometric contractions of the wrist flexors. An experimental group (N = 12) performed complex proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) contractions cons...
