Descrição:
This seminar presents an innovative approach of measuring post-activation potentiation (PAP) in skeletal muscle using Tensiomyography (TMG) and analyzing its full-time extension through one-dimensional Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM). Rather than relying on isolated twitch parameters, this method yields a unified and interpretable index, the Total Potentiation Level (TPL), which quantifies both the magnitude and duration of PAP. The TPL offers practitioners a powerful “potentiation score” to guide performance monitoring and training decisions.
Key physiological concepts will be clarified, including distinctions between post-activation potentiation (PAP), twitch potentiation (TP), and post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE). The workshop introduces the Potentiation Training Strategy (PTS), a novel model that shifts the focus from fatigue thresholds to sustained high potentiation zones, with potential benefits including enhanced motor unit recruitment, improved motor learning, reduced injury risk, and more informed post injury training assessments.
