  1. 1. Post-Activation Performance Enhancement in Sledge Ankle Hops after a 6-seconds maximal Isometric Plantar Flexion

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Gabriel Solé; [2021]
    Keywords : sports; sprint; jumping; performance;

    Abstract : Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-second maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the plantar-flexors on subsequent ankle hops performed only by plantar flexing at the ankle. Methods 10 physically active university students were recruited to volunteer in this study. READ MORE

  3. 2. Post-activation Potentiation : Effects on performance, tensile, and contractile properties of the plantar flexor muscles

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

    Author : Anja Zoellner; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aim The present thesis aimsto provide scientific based evidence that might expand the limited information available regarding the post-activation potentiation (PAP) effects on the rate of torque development (RTD) and muscle activity during repeated isokinetic concentric maximal voluntary contractions(MVC). Additionally, we aim to provide new insights related to the possible effects that such repeated maximal contractions might have on the muscle tendon unit (MTU) stiffness. READ MORE

  4. 3. Changes in Loaded Squat Jump performance following a series of isometric conditioning contraction

    University essay from Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

    Author : Johannes Hellström; [2013]
    Keywords : Conditioning Contraction; Heavy loads; Jump height; Squat jump;

    Abstract : Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of performing an isometric conditioning contraction (CC) consisting of two sets of five seconds maximal voluntary contraction in physically active individuals prior to three sets of Loaded Squat Jumps (LSJ). Method: 5 males and 4 females (mean ± SD: age 25 ± 2 years, height 175 ± 10 cm, body mass 70 ± 15 kg) were assessed on their power output, force production, jump height and velocity on three sets of LSJ on two separate sessions.
