Acute Enhancement of Power Performance From Heavy Load Squats
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine whether a loaded countermovement jump (LCMJ) could be enhanced if preceded by a set of half-squats with a 5-RM load. Ten subjects experienced with the squat exercise performed 2 sets of 5 LCMJ, 1 set of 5 squat reps with a 5-RM load, and 1 set of 5 LCMJ with 4 min rest between all sets. There was no significant difference between the first 2 sets of LCMJ, and the repeatability between these sets was high. However, the jump height for the set of LCMJ after the squat set was significantly greater (2.8%) than for the LCMJ set immediately preceding the squats. It was concluded that squats with a 5-RM load produce dramatic improvements in power performance. In addition, there was a significant correlation between performance enhancement from the squats and the 5-RM load. This suggests that stronger individuals may benefit more from resistance training exercises that utilize contrasting loads.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
