Abstract

Post-activation potentiation (PAP) is a well-described phenomenon with a short half-life (~30 s) that enhances muscle force production at submaximal levels of calcium saturation (i.e. submaximal levels of muscle activation). It has been largely explained by increased myosin light chain phosphorylati...
