Abstract
Post-activation potentiation (PAP) following a bout of high-intensity exercise of short duration is known to produce both a fatigued and a potentiated state. There has been much research in the effectiveness of various PAP protocols, yet the type of dynamic muscle action utilized has seldom been investigated. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess whether an accentuated eccentric load (AE) could enhance subsequent performance. Eleven males (21 ± 2 years, 179.1 ± 6.9 cm, 83.2 ± 10.1 kg) performed 3 countermovement jumps (CMJ) before and 6-minutes after a AE and a back squat (BSq) PAP protocol. The participant's maximum CMJ height (cm) was determined before and after both protocol. A two-way RM ANOVA was conducted to evaluate the effect of PAP condition and time on vertical jumping performance. A significant condition × time interaction was found (P = 0.02). Post-hoc tests revealed that the AE PAP had a significant (P = 0.03) potentiating effect on CMJ jump height. Whereas, the BSq PAP revealed no significant differences (P = 0.32). In conclusion, this study has shown that jump performance can be enhanced by eccentric muscle action when compared to a traditional BSq PAP protocol. This may provide a more practical method for coaches to enhance short-term explosive movements in athletic populations.
