Article Title: Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) protocols do not further increase jumping performance beyond warm-up effects: findings from three acute randomized crossover trials
doi: 10.3389/fphys.2024.1447421
Figure Lengend Snippet: Boxplot (Q1 to Q3, including Median), and Whiskers (showing minimum and maximum values) for Counter-Movement-Jumping height after the general (PRE) and the specific warm-up (POST_WU) as well as 3 (POST_3), 7 (POST_7), and 11 min (POST_11) after the respective PAPE protocols performed with electrical stimulation (EMS-PAPE; white box) and squats (SQ-PAPE; grey box). Individual values are also depicted (black circles for EMS-PAPE and white circles for SQ-PAPE).
Article Snippet: For EMS-PAPE, using a commercially available EMS device (Compex SP 8.0; Medicompex SA, Ecublens, Switzerland), electrical stimulation was delivered bilaterally to the m. vastus lateralis and the m. vastus medialis via electrical cords.
