Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of postactivation potentiation (PAP) on 100m sprint performance. 12 track and field athletes participated in 3 testing sessions over a 1-week period. Participants performed 3 different warm-up protocols on three non-consecutive days. All protocols were identical apart from the PAP stimulus, lasted 30 minutes in total and were designed to mirror competition warm-ups used by competitive athletes. Following the warmup participants completed either a 3RM heavy back-squat (HBS), 50m resisted sprint (RS), or 5 mins stationary cycling (CC) followed by 8 minutes recovery, then completed a 100m sprint. No significant differences were found for 100m sprint time between HBS (12.20 ± 0.79s), RS (12.21 ± 0.79s) or CC (12.22 ± 0.79s) protocols (p = .936). In addition, the different warm-up protocols did not elicit statistically significant changes in reaction time (p = .549) or any 10m split time over the 100m distance. These findings indicate that PAP does not effect 100m sprint performance when preceeded by a thorough warm-up.
