The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of different intensities of PAP on vertical jump performance in university volleyball players. Twelve players performed anthropometric tests, 1 RM (repetition maximum) test in the squatting exercise, and familiarization with the vertical jump test. In subsequent weeks, the subjects underwent 5 more collection sessions with a 24-hr rest interval between them. Prior to each Counter Movement Jump (CMJ) test, the subjects performed an experimental condition: (a) Control; (b) PAP 91% 1RM; (c) PAP 85% 1RM; (d) PAP 70% 1RM; and (e) PAP 60% 1RM. The results showed that the Group submitted to the PAP protocol showed a significant difference in comparison to the Control Group, with higher PAP intensities of 91%, 85%, and 70% of 1 RM verified while the 60% intensity of 1RM showed no significant difference in comparison to the Control Group. The findings indicate that the PAP positively affects the performance of vertical jump in university volleyball players. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
