The article discusses research investigating where the potentiation of force, power, velocity, and acceleration occurs across the concentric phase of stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) ballistic leg presses Participants performed SSC and concentric-only (CO) ballistic leg press throws. Researchers analyzed the concentric range of motion (ROM) across six equal time intervals and found that force and acceleration only occurs early during the concentric phase of SSC ballistic leg presses.
