Postactivation potentiation: Sometimes more fatigue than potentiation.

Certain plyometric and isometric protocols failed to produce a postactivation potentiation in vertical jump and bench press throw power output.

Nonetheless, the results can be useful in guiding the practitioner toward experimentation with postactivation potentiation protocols for other athletes.
