The Effects of Drop Jump Height on Post-Activation Performance Enhancement at Different Ambient Temperatures

This study aimed to determine whether drop jump height will affect the post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) effect at room temperature (RT) and low (LT) conditions. Twelve male strength-trained males participated in this study. Prior warm-up, subjects underwent a 30 min period of environmental adaptation. Different warm-up protocols were used different ambient temperatures help achieve level muscle activity body similar their daily training. After pre-test, each subject six experimental sessions either RT or LT conditions, respectively, which separated by least 72 h conducted same time day control for circadian influences on metabolism. conditioning activities, vertical (VJ) was re-tested 4 min, 8 12 passive recovery assess transient potentiation effects. Under 60 cm 90 jumps could induce PAPE, with PAPE being most significant (p < 0.01) 0.01), while not PAPE. VJ gradually declined over 0.01). However, although affected 0.05). demonstrated that can be impair induction, utilized conditions counteract effects athletic performance.
