- Abstract
- The article presents a study which compares the post activation potentiation (PAP) of Smith machine & barbell (BB) half squats in countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. It explores the different force output and muscle activation between the two different squatting methods in jumping performance. It shows repeated measures of ANOVA revealing a significant squat type by time interaction for the best peak power, indicating that CMJ is greater in Smith machine squat than the BB squat.
