For up to how many hours after a priming strategy can benefits be manifested?

48 hr

60 hr

72 hr

What intensity for the back squat exercise resulted in greater sprint performance enhancement?

>65% 1RM

>75% 1RM

>85% 1RM

What priming exercise was found to significantly improve shot put performance?

3-repetition push press using 50% of 1RM

6-second isometric push-ups

Plyometric medicine ball throws

Which exercise significantly improved mean throwing performance in the hammer throw?

Plyometric push-up

Clean and jerk

Countermovement jump

What reason was provided for the improvement in long jump performance from the third attempt onward as a result of a countermovement jump protocol?

Gradual increase in take-off velocity between the third and sixth jumps

Acute decrease in impulse of the jumper during the last two steps

Equivocal loading schemes used for all jump repetitions

What was the effect of using different sled loads for resisted sprinting on 40-yard sprint times?

A 20% bodyweight load resulted in greater improvements than a load of 10%

A 30% bodyweight load resulted in lesser improvements than a load of 20%

Improved sprint times were attained regardless of the sled load used

What is an advantage of performing isometric exercises as a priming strategy compared to dynamic warm-ups?

Increase muscular strength faster

Elicit postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) while creating less fatigue

Decrease recovery between training days

How do the effects of PAPE in stronger athletes compare to that of weaker athletes?

Larger

Smaller

Equivocal

What exercise is recommended to include in a standard warm-up regimen for faster male sprinters?

Loaded jump squats

Lateral box jumps

Single-leg broad jumps

What is the effect of resisted sprint protocols using heavier loads on sprint technique compared to the effect of using lighter loads?

Heavier loads disrupt sprint technique less

Heavier loads disrupt sprint technique more

Heavier loads disrupt spring technique the same
