Abstract
The phenomenon post activation potentiation (PAP) can be defined as an increase in muscle performance following a heavy contraction of a movement that utilizes the same muscle group (i.e. improved 20m sprint following a high intensity squat). However, research has yet to examine if heavy squats elicit PAP on the squat itself. Further, past studies have not yet analyzed if PAP is elicited at a moderate intensity (i.e. 60% one-repetition maximum-1RM).
