THE ACUTE EFFECTS WARM UP WITH POST ACTIVATION POTENTIATION TECHNIQUE: ACUTE EFFECTS ON MUSCLE POWER, SPEED AND AGILITY

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to study the acute effects of warm up with different post activation potentiation (PAP) technique on muscle power, speed and agility. Fifteen male futsal players aged 19-21 yrs who were join The SS. Futsal champions cup 2015 participated in this research. All subjects were performed into three post activation potentiation warm up which included resistance, plyometric and complex technique. Muscle power, speed and agility were measured suddenly after PAP warm up in each technique. Data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation and one–way ANOVA with repeated measure. Multiple comparisons were performed using the Tukey method. All test used the 0.05 level of significance
The results showed that muscle power, speed and agility after PAP warm up between resistance, plyometric and complex technique were no significant difference (P>0.05) However, muscle power, speed and agility after PAP warm up in each technique were better than before experimented condition (P<0.05). In conclusion, the PAP warm up which included resistance, plyometric and complex technique could improve muscle power, speed and agility.
