The use of various modes of exercise to induce postactivation potentiation (PAP) has been studied in the current literature. However, discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of these multiple modes of exercises in inducing PAP within one review study has not been conducted. A brief discussion on the available findings on the effects of different exercises in inducing PAP is presented in this review. Coaches and athletes should take the available information into consideration because the magnitude of PAP effect may vary depending on the mode of exercise performed.
