Abstract
Traditional resistance training programs are implemented with an emphasis on overload and are designed to increase strength and performance as a chronic adaptation. In contrast, acute adaptations have been examined relative to post activation potentiation (PAP). While the physiological foundations of PAP have not been conclusively defined, prior work has demonstrated possible increased regulatory light chain phosphorylation and higher order motor unit recruitment following these protocols.
