Study aim(s): The purpose of the present paper was to investigate the acute effect of the Post Activation Potential (PAP) applied in the bicycle ergometer on 6-second sprint performance. Although the post-activation potential decreases over time, like fatigue, it continues for some time following the disappearance of fatigue. Another purpose of the study was to examine the effect that continues at regular intervals in this process where the effects of fatigue decrease and potentization continue.
Methods: A total of 18 male Physical Education and Sports School students who were aged 22-25 were voluntarily included in this study. The average height of the participants was 176 cm, the average weight was 74 kg, the average body fat ratio was 15.8%, and the body muscle weight was 35. A Watt bike Bicycle Ergometer was used for the tests. In this study, in which the Wingate Test was used for pre-loading, the same ergometer was used to determine the 6-second sprint performance according to times.
Results: As a result of the measurements, following the 6-second sprint test performed at the 5th minute following Wingate loading, the PAP effect was observed and a significant difference was detected when compared to the first measurements. After the preload measurement was applied in the same way, following the measurement taken at the 10th and 15th minutes, the watt values increased, but the load increase was at the 5th minute.
Conclusions: As a result, in the present study, it was determined that the PAP protocol was made within 30-sec. sprint test preload was effective in creating the post-activation effect, and it was found that there was a significant difference when compared to the protocol without preload. Considering the durations, although the first test result following Wingate loading showed a significant difference in 6-second sprint watt values, it was observed that the effect of PAP decreased over time.
