How to utilise PAPE in jump performance during training for a sporting competition

ABSTRACT

Post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) can be used in jump performance. This review recommends that PAPE be subcategorised into two groups: training PAPE and performance PAPE. Training PAPE methods can be incorporated for training purposes where more select equipment, time, and space is available. Performance PAPE can be utilised to enhance competition performance in which limited, or no equipment, is required and can be easily performed before an event. The authors found that isoinertial methods are commonly employed for both performance and training PAPE; however, plyometric training appears a more favourable form of performance PAPE. Furthermore, accentuated eccentric loading could be coupled with plyometric training to achieve the highest PAPE response, but further work is required.
