POST-ACTIVATION POTENTIATION: FACTORS AFFECTING IT AND THE EFFECT ON PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Abstract This review focuses on the factors effecting Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) and its application in complex training. It was shown that the training level, the type of muscle fiber, the type of contraction, the duration of contraction, and the volume of contraction are factors which effect the duration and magnitude of PAP. It has also reported that PAP affects explosive activities such as jumping, sprint and upper body performance. Based on PAP complex training protocols were designed including in the same training session high resistance training and explosive movements which positively affected strength, jumping and running speed velocity.
