Deeper Squats Win Again In a recent study researchers wondered whether quarter or parallel squats would activate PAP most. Once again, deeper squats seem to be the winner.

How Strength Level Affects Post-Activation Potentiation Post-activation potentiation (PAP) has been demonstrated to produce short term boosts to strength. A recent study shows strength level also affects the response from PAP.

Why Does Your Pre-Workout Ritual Make a Difference? We all have pre-workout rituals and habitual warm-ups, but do they work? And if so, why? Researchers took a look at certain warm-ups to determine what they do and why they make a difference.

Back Squats Just Prior Improve Vertical Jump Performance Post-Activation Potentiation or PAP - what is it? It means if you squat heavy, you can jump higher. Science looks at how much weight it takes to activate this potential and how you can apply it, too.

Isometric Exercises Just Prior to Rowing Improve Sprint Times Post-activiation potentation, or PAP. Lifting heavy and sprinting hard. Turns out the lifting heavy part helps you go faster. Now science examines isometric PAP and rowing sprints with good results.
