Abstract :
The purpose of this study was the effect of two different post activation potentiation methods on the explosive power and sprint performance of female athletes. Methods: For this purpose, 25 female students of physical education in Bandar Turkmen city were selected to participate in the research. Subjects were divided into five groups [experimental 1 (10 minutes warm-up, parallel squat with 80% 1RM and Sargent test), experimental 2 (10 minutes warm-up, parallel squat with 80% 1RM and speed test), experimental 3 (10 minutes warm-up, depth jump from a height of 40 cm with five repetitions and two turns and Sargent's test), experimental 4 (10 minutes of warm-up, deep jump from a height of 40 cm with five repetitions and two turns of the speed test, with the difference that the speed test after four minutes) and the control group (without exercise program)] were dividedResults: The results within the group showed that the level of explosive power (Sargent's jump) of subjects in the experimental group 1 (12.72 percent), experimental 2 (15.33 percent), experimental 3 (17.44 percent), and experimental 4 (24.00 percent) increased significantly. Also, the intra-group results in the sprinting test of experimental group 1 (13.84 percent), experimental 2 (14 percent), experimental 3 (14.08 percent), experimental 4 (15.55 percent) had a significant decrease, but in the control group the level of explosive power and speed did not change significantly. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the post-activation potentiation exercise program of this research improved the explosive power and sprinting of the athletes.
