increases? Try PAP

Training!

What is PAP training? Post Activation Potential training also known as complex training is a method that is used to increase power and performance. To make it as simple as possible, performing a lift such as back squat at 90% of maximal effort for 3 reps and following that directly with 40 yard sprint. This contrast of heavy weight to bodyweight exercise plays a role in increasing performance and should show an increase in the speed of the sprint over time.

Studies have shown athletes such as soccer players increasing their kick performance or cyclist increasing their riding speed using PAP training. For more information on PAP training check out this article by Tom Whipple HERE or this article by Julian Lim HERE.
