Abstract:
THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE
APPLICATION OF A VARIETY OF
MODALITIES TO ELICIT A POSTACTIVATION
POTENTIATION (PAP)
RESPONSE IN SPRINTING. WE
PRESENT THE EXISTING LITERATURE
ON THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF
BACK SQUATS, POWER CLEANS,
PLYOMETRICS, AND SLED PULLING
ON SPRINT DISTANCES
RANGING FROM 5 TO 50 M. WE
ALSO DISCUSS AND PROVIDE AN
EXAMPLE OFHOWCOACHES CAN
ASSESS THE INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS
OF PAP PROTOCOLS ON THEIR
ATHLETES TO IDENTIFY WHETHER
A PROTOCOL ELICITS AN ACUTE
IMPROVEMENT OR IMPAIRMENT IN
PERFORMANCE. FINALLY, WE
PROVIDE PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
ON HOW COACHES
CAN INCORPORATE THESE
METHODS INTO A SPRINT TRAINING
SESSION.
