improvement in voluntary performance, known as postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE). 3 – 5 Physical performance may be affected after a CA either positively or negatively, depending on the balance between fatigue and potentiation. 6 From this perspective, several studies have been conducted over the

the same training session. 4 Programming exercises in this paired manner provides an efficient mode of training both higher-load and lower-load training exercises in the same session and can provide an additional benefit by invoking postactivation performance enhancement. 4 , 6 Postactivation

performance has been recently debated with the proposal of an alternative term, referred to as postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE). 9 The reasons behind this dualism (PAP vs PAPE) refer to the association of PAP with evoked twitch verification, which, in turn, would be related to MLC

In their recent commentary, Boullosa et al 1 present a discussion about the terminology “postactivation potentiation” (PAP) and “postactivation performance enhancement” (PAPE), but they do not, apparently, understand these terms. In fact, their misinterpretation of PAP is the very reason the term

postactivation performance enhancement [PAPE]) and that there is no possibility for alternative terminologies. The proposed taxonomy highlights the conditioning activity, testing activity and population, factors causally related to the onset, and magnitude of potentiation effects. For instance, the rationale for

, this is perhaps more correctly termed as postactivation performance enhancement as electrically evoked contractile properties are not typically assessed. 2 , 3 As the performance of heavy resistance exercise is likely to be contraindicated prior to competition in most instances, the performance of

Postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) refers to a short-term improvement in athletic tasks, such as jumping, sprinting, and throwing, induced by a previous conditioning activity. 1 The onset and magnitude of PAPE effects are influenced by a number of variables and their interactions 2

that the performance of strength exercises before jump exercises has the potential to acutely enhance subsequent jump performance, a phenomenon known as postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE). 3 The inclusion of sequenced exercises that elicit acute PAPE effects into long-term training programs
