Post-activation potentiation (PAP) phenomenon - review and experimental verification
Horák, Jan ; Hojka, Vladimír (advisor) ; Červinka, Pavel (referee)
Title: Post-activation potentiation (PAP) phenomenon - review and experimental verification Objectives: Firstly, to compile the systematic review of up-to-date literature. Secondly, to develop method using force platform that will be applicable for PAP measurment during the counter-movement jump. Thirdly, to verify PAP by using the developed method in small group of volunteers. Methods: Review part of the thesis was complied according to analysis of up-to-date literature accessible from Charles University electronic system. The data from the analysis were used to develop method for measurment of PAP by using the force platform (Kistler) and activation of PAP phenomenon by series of squats with specific weight. The peak force and rate of force developement were the monitored parameters. This method was applied on a group of volunteers. Results: Results of experimental part of the thesis showed significant changes in monitored parameters and this change is consistent with current literature. Keywords: post-activation potentiation, peak force, rate of force developement, force platform
