Clinical Trial: A Mechanistic Perspective on Post-Activation Performance Enhancement Responsiveness: A Randomized Controlled Study of Acute Changes in Muscle Architecture, Contractile Property Kinetics, and Muscle Excitability

U.S., May 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06982937) titled 'A Mechanistic Perspective on Post-Activation Performance Enhancement Responsiveness: A Randomized Controlled Study of Acute Changes in Muscle Architecture, Contractile Property Kinetics, and Muscle Excitability' on May 05.

Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to find out if one short set of heavy half-squats can help football players jump higher right away-and to understand what happens inside their muscles and nerves to make that boost happen.

Key questions

* Will performing 2-3 half-squats at 90% of one-rep max give a bigger jump boost than jogging on a treadmill for five minutes?

* After each warm-up, how do muscle speed an...
