Abstract

 

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a warm-up activity on the potentiation post-activation (PPA) in wrestling athletes. 8 wrestling athletes (22,1 ± 3,4 anos; 70,5 ± 10,2 kg; 170,1 ± 0,1 cm) performed two experimental conditions (CPPA and CC). Three sets of six counter movement jumps represented the CPPA and such condition has been compared to CC, which none previous activity has happened. The experimental conditions have been separated by a minimum of 48 and a maximum of 168 hours of difference and they have been also randomized. Three attempts were done and the best score was used. The jumps' performance was assessed using the Ergojump® equipment and the data were analyzed through the Kinematic Measurement System® software. The "t" Student test has been applied for non-paired comparisons and the significance was set at 5%. The outcomes of the present study demonstrated no PPA effect (SJ - CC: 0.383 ± 0.063 m vs CPPA: 0.431 ± 0.069 m; p = 0.79), (CMJ - CC: 0.41 ± 0.035 m vs CPPA: 0.44 ± 0.031 m; p = 0.96). In conclusion, the warm-up activity proposed by this study was not capable to induce PPA in wrestling athletes.
