Abstract
Post Activation Potentiation (PAP) refers to performance improvement through neuromuscular stimulation in a short period of time as a result of undergoing specialized training activities. PAP is also referred to as a physiological condition in which an increase in muscle power over the previous one such as the movement of plyometric activity. Although research has shown lifting heavy back squat to be an effective method of increasing PAP effects, little data exist on its effect on distance above 40 meter sprinting. This study aims to investigate the effect of post activation potentiation of back squat on 50 meter sprint performance among 100 meter male sprinters. Specifically, it investigates whether the effect of post activation potentiation of back squat has an impact on 50 meter sprint performance. There are 20 of 100 meter male sprinters performed 50 meter sprints and rest 1 minute after the 1 repetition of the back squat at 90% of 1 Repetition Maximum [RM]). Maximal sprint times at 50 meter were measured using timing gates. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-test. However, with large individual variations in the response to the back squat with 90% of 1RM, data shown some sprinters benefit from the effects of PAP and others not. Thus, the results showed no significance difference in investigate the effect of post activation potentiation of back squat on 50 meter sprint performance among 100 meter male sprinters.
