Effect of velocity loss squat induced post-activation performance enhancement on lower limb explosive power in sprinters
A velocity loss threshold of 5% during squats at 85% 1RM elicits a significant PAPE effect by 4 min post-exercise, with the fewest required repetitions. For practical application, a recovery interval of 4-8 min is recommended to optimize training outcomes in sprinters.
