Brief Summary

This study investigated the acute effect of post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) on snatch performance to exhaustion in elite weightlifters.

Conditions

Post-Activation Potentiation; Performance

Keywords

Weightlifting, snatch, training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• number of snatch repetitions performed to exhaustion

  This outcome is measured to determine how different warm-up protocols (90% 1RM squats, 50% 1RM squats, and no-load condition) affect the athletes\' performance in snatch repetitions. The statistical analysis focuses on comparing the average number of repetitions between these protocols.

  Two weeks

Study Arms (3)

PAPE 90% warm up protocol

EXPERIMENTAL

performed three repetitions of dip squats with 90% of their one-repetition maximal dip squats and rested for 4 minutes.

Other: Experimental

PAPE 50% warm up protocol

EXPERIMENTAL

performed three repetitions of dip squats with 50% of their one-repetition maximal dip squats and rested for 4 minutes.

Other: Experimental

Unloaded warm-up protocol

OTHER

They performed the snatch movement with 75% of their maximum snatch weight without pre-warm-up, i.e. without weights, until exhaustion.

Other: unloaded protocol

Interventions

Experimental OTHER

In the PAPE 90% protocol, participants performed a general warm-up (e.g., jogging on a treadmill) for 5 minutes and a weightlifting-specific warm-up for 5 minutes, followed by 2 minutes of rest. After resting, they were asked to perform ten repetitions of dip squats with body weight and rested for 1 minute.Then, unlike the unloaded protocol, they performed three repetitions of dip squats with 90% of their one-repetition maximal dip squats and rested for 4 minutes. After resting, they performed a snatch to exhaustion with 75% of their maximum snatch weight. Then they rested for 2 minutes and performed one more repetition of the snatch to exhaustion. The maximum number of repetitions between sets was recorded.

PAPE 90% warm up protocol

unloaded protocol OTHER

In the unloaded protocol, subjects performed a 5-minute general warm-up (e.g., jogging on a treadmill) and 5 minutes of weightlifting-specific warm-up followed by 2 minutes of rest. After resting, they performed ten repetitions of bottom squats with their body weight and then rested for 1 minute. After rest, they performed the snatch movement with 75% of their maximum snatch weight until exhaustion. Then, they rested for 2 minutes and again performed the snatch with 75% of their maximum snatch weight until exhaustion. The maximum number of snatch repetitions performed by the weightlifters was recorded for statistical analysis.
